Thread: New Star Trek Movie

Huge fan of the originals, and the original cast movies (watched Wrath of Khan again just the other day). Never was able to get into the series with the other casts, but this looks awesome!

I'm quitely looking forward to this, as I do for any Star Trek..........I hope they don't contradict the established history too much though.................

Star trek is for homos.

Nerds.

George Lucas is haunted. He might rethink about making another Star Wars movie. (7, 8, and 9)

He's got plenty of material to play with from the AU.

Although I think he's plenty busy at the moment with the forthcoming TV series

Heck yes, I can't wait for that.

Hell yeah, I can't wait to see the Empire raping & pillaging it's way across the galaxy

I really hope they've tapped into some of the writing talent that they've used for the novels (especially Tim Zahn), some of the charecters that have been created there rock

My youngest (10 y/o) really wants to see this...it's what? About the original crew before the series was supposed to have started in the 60s?

I have no clue. Whenever I see Star Trek on TV, it's boring as hell (seriously, how do you make intergalactic warfare boring?). It would take a guy like Abrams (of LOST fame) to add interest to this kind of a series, IMO. If somebody pays for my ticket, I'll go.

I'm not into the sci-fi stuff, and those boo-boo's that dress up and go to the convention centers and what not - ayecarumba!

...I've always liked Shatner though.

Yeah, it's a prequel, but it also looks as if there may be some 're-imagining' ala BSG.

Just looking at the cast list, good to see they've included Chris Pike (the Enterprise's CO from the original pilot, and 'The Menagerie') but they've repeated the error from the 'Wrath of Khan' by including Chekov.......he only appeared in the 2nd season. Also, no mention of Gary Mitchell, who was Kirk's friend & XO in the 2nd pilot, 'Where No-Man Has Gone Before' ..............actually, McCoy wasn't the ship's doctor for the, either

I went and watched this and I thought it was awesome!

It basically shows how the original cast comes together before going at it as a team on the Enterprise.

If you have been a fan of the original cast I think you will be surprised at how believable most of the cast is playing the roles. Kirk, Bones Spock especially. Believable as those characters.

Also, if you are familiar with the original series you will see little things here and there that make you laugh because it is a tie back to that series.

My wife never watched the series and she enjoyed the movie. So I think it is safe to say if you are a ST fan or not, you will enjoy this movie.

I give it 6.5 out of 10. The only reason I didn't give it a little higher is because of the Spock scenario in the movie which I don't want to give away if you haven't seen it.

I dont think this movie deserves its own thread,.
