New Star Trek Movie
I have been looking forward to this big time and have twisted the missus arm to make her go on Thursday! I'm a bit worried about this though..

I'm spending this week watching the first 6 movies on Blu Ray so I have some backround.
Very keen on this new movie. |

You like the backround on your boyfriend!

I have a problem with this. In the preview it shows the enterprise being built on earth, in some prairie somewhere. But in all of the other star treks (tv shows and movies) these starships are built in space and from my limited knowledge of trek-foo they aren't designed to be atmospheric vehicles. I think JJ just decided he had to have some stupid Top Gun rebel motorcycles up to the big ship scene.

yea, they don't look exactly aero-dynamic.

Intrepid class, aka Voyager, are explicitly designed to land on a planetary surface and the saucer section of the Enterprise D was definitely designed to land. Both the Enterprise and Enterprise D have both entered an atmosphere and while not happy doing it generally in the episodes in question they were crashing out of control rather than landing per se. What might be confusing you was that the refit Enterprise, first seen in Star Trek the Movie, was being serviced and refit in space at McKinley Station. Kinda sad that I remember this shit....

Was there ever a Voyager episode where it landed on a planet? The whole thing not just the saucer section, I'd be interested to know how it does it given its shape and design. Last edited by Caesar : 8th May 2009 at 17:06. |

Star Trek was effin' amazing. One of the most watchable movies I've seen in a long time. Excellent casting, and a good blend of humour and action. Also one of the most seamless movies I've seen in a long time in terms of CGI. I almost forgot for quite a while how much CGI was in it.

I saw it last night. I liked it a lot... It wouldn't surprise me if there were more to come with this cast. Ahura has never looked better

porntube.

IMO.
I saw it last night as well and it was alright. Full of action mixed with some funny scenes. I never liked Star Trek too much, so watching this with limited knowledge on the series, my only conclusion was that they did a pretty decent twist in order to recycle the main characters whilst getting a fresh start in making the series completely irrelevant to the original story. So i hope that this 'new' Star Trek will be more appealing for me in the future. I'd give it 7/10.

I really liked it, but it did seem like the Dir of Photography just discovered the lens flare tool

As for the film, having just seen it I quite enjoyed it. Its plot doesn't bear close scrutiny and I have quite a few niggles about ship design, lighting placement & the like. But overall it does a lot of very nice nods to trek lore and tells an entertaining tale.

Is it just me or did the time travel get put in there because it's easier and to get rid of "hur hur hur, that totally couldn't happen because in series 2 episode 12..." etc.
That would be sad |

Perf and I saw this tonight, thoroughly enjoyed it in its entirety.

Saw it tonight on IMAX, enjoyed it a lot
But when Scotty mentioned Admiral Archer, I was worried they were going to do a Scott Bakula cameo... Last edited by BadNova : 9th May 2009 at 01:19. |

Saw it this morning - both of us really enjoyed it.
First time I've been too the movies in years too - I was feeling a little ashamed that Star Trek was what tempted me back but I have none of that now - was well worth it. Some great laughs, good action, plenty of hat-tips (loved the take off of "Khhhaaannnn") and generally thought it did a great job. I'm not a huge trek fan at all so wasn't worried about the little plot niggles. Pixie

not a trekkie here, but I got a bit sucked in by the hype and good reviews, and TBH, thought it was just "ok".
Deserves a repeat screening on blueray when it comes out ... ...dunno, thought it was a bit too shiny and colorful, which, I gues is part of the utopean premise ?...but ...hmm, well dunno...I had hoped to enjoy it more, and I guess that was what spoiled it for me. ...also the fact that it was a starwars clone didnt help...I swear I thougt chewie was gonna make one of his noises in teh medal ceremony at the end there :/ |

Liked - Everything
Disliked - The product placement. ST was never about recognisable conglomerates. |

in refference to the mining platform loved the movie, very well put togeather bit of work. what really cracked me up is after the movie finished i was heading back to the car and behind me i could hear a hardcore trekkie giving his girlfriend the entire back history of the romulans (sp?) and the vulcans, all he got in reply was 'aha, aha, aha, aha, aha' lots of effort to contain laughter was required. |

My main dislike was the amount of lensflares, there's pretty much one in every single shot for the first half of the movie. Ended up being pretty distracting when I started counting them all.

Gonna join the reoccurring theme in this thread and say that the movie pleasantly rocked.
Went in with low expectations, with the thought of being molested by fat trekkie nerds who would obnoxiously bitch throughout the duration of the film. Thankfully, the nerds kept quiet, but I still felt their effects as their lummox form squished past to go toilet and top up on more candy snacks mid way through. Could have done with better poon or shown some boobies on existing poon. Anyone else get confused trying to figure out how Kirk was fucking the ginger she-hulk with his undies on? Visual effects warrant watching this at the movies. Was darn good at Embassy. Watching Vulcan collapse into a black hole was awesome. |
