Anyone else going to see this? I'll still watch it this weekend, but even though I'm a big Star Trek fan I'm not too excited about this one. It looks like a bunch of eye candy without much substance. I hope to be pleasantly surprised. It has an 88% rating on rottentomatoes so far.

i agree, i'm sure it will be an entertaining movie, but it's not star trek.

Movie had a nice pace and the action sequences were really cool. I enjoyed it
It was not a flawless movie, but it had many moments of brilliance which more than makes up for any issues,
SPOILER
(Except the literal 'White' wash of a main character)

The theme of 'Following Orders, when those orders are 'unjust' was great, the 'who we really are when pushed to the limit as a person' I loved.
Lot's of 'Truth' in the movie.
:ugeek:
:thumbup: :thumbup:
i didn't love it, and as i said in the other thread, the throw backs were a bit much (Khaaaannnnn, radioactive kirk, tribbles)
that said, i didn't think it was bad. seems like it was more of a set up film for what lies ahead.
i will say, it's nice to see the old characters back, vs. the next generation series. that series/movies were just unwatchable for me.
I agree. I liked TNG a lot growing up, but outside of various episodes here and there, I don't think the series has aged well at all, and their movies are just like longer episodes (with the exception of First Contact). I was also thinking the same thing about McCoy. It's not like he was just spouting off one liners all the time in the original series and movies movies.
i liked the subtheme of kirk leading and how he would sacrifice anything for his crew ... they could have built that into a better story imo ... one that wasn't a throwback ...
