If you know anything about Star Trek, or go for the sci-fi spaceship idea, you'll like this movie. Several entertaining moments for everyone, not just trekkies such as myself. I watched the original series and liked the young versions of the old characters. No huge casting misfires. Kirk and Spock in particular were quite good.

The story, well I'll not say anything about that. I have my problems, but that's because I'm a little nuts. Maybe I'll make a topic to express said feelings. Anyway, people who critique subjective factors of an experience are all sticks in the mud anyway. ;P
I must say though, the old guy made the movie for me. ^.^

Spectacular effects, above average story, fan service, good acting. Fun for everyone, worth seeing in theatres. Not Oscar level, but enjoyable.
I smell a TV show...

Anybody else seen it?

"What are you trained in?"
"Fencing"

*later*

*pulls out sword that unfolds* I want one of them! lol

@Kotor: I seem to remember reading a post like that from you a little while ago... what ever

great movie, and because they effectively eliminated the time line from before there should be some more on the way that will be just as good

Well that's because I made most of the post in the "recent movies" thread. It's recycled.

I saw it just for old Spock. I liked the Scottish guy as well... do you all know him from something else?

yeah the timeline's screwed up, but whatever sells the product eh?

Advanced combat training? ;P

Ps: I like Jonathan Ross

I didn't really like it. It was a good stand alone movie, but it didn't tie in with the series at all, that is mainly why I didn't like it. They changed the past of the characters, and therefore changed the futures, making everything form the Star Trek episodes of Captain Kirk not exist.
