star trek was gooood

anyone else think its opened up a whole new series of films?

I think the thing with the new film is that most hard core trekkies did no like it because it was an action movie and there was a new captain (IE not shattner)

It did however open the film up to a whole new generation that just thought the Star Trek world was full of geeks and comicbook guys like The Simpsons

Star Trek was amazing! Action-packed from the very beginning

2012 The only film I liked from this director was Independence Day and that was back in '97 or something ? He likes to do his sort-of world is going end plots

Ditto. I loved Independence Day, it was ridiculous but in a very fun way. I think that disaster movies that are this far fetched need a lot of humour to make them work.

When it comes to Star Trek I'm completely biased, I'm a bit of a Trekkie.

I have just started to watch Enterprise as I could not be bothered with it when it came out... Just started season 3 and I think it has gone off the boil.

I watched Jennifers Body the other day and that was terrible, and so is the Orphan when it comes to it.

Enterprise was fairly awful, not Star Trek's finest hour.

I missed this post.

I think most hard core Trekkies liked it but had a few gripes.

I hated the way Uhura was made into the love interest, rather than having a properly defined role. Every time she was on screen it was either for Kirk to flirt with her or to run after, and comfort, Spock. In the original series the only glimpse we really got at a Uhura/Spock romance was in a very early episode when she's singing in the mess hall, Spock's smiling in it (very out of character) but it was one of the first ever episodes before they'd really decided where to go with the characters. His main romance was Nurse Chapel and even that was one sided.

I also didn't like them killing Amanda Grayson or the destruction of Vulcan but I suppose by creating an alternate reality it leaves them free to create their own timeline, without tampering with the already well established Trek history and getting on the wrong side of their original fan base.

I wasn't hugely fond of Scotty being the comic relief either.

I agree with you about Uhura but i think Amanda Grayson's death was kinda needed as an a reason to really show a upset spock.

Scotty wasn't great tho simon pegg is a funny man in the sense he's slapstick and the scotty i remember wasn't really like that.

They can ditch everything that's ever happened in the whole star trek universe (with the exception of Enterprise) and have totally new adventures with the original crew. Kirk could find himself up against the borg.

Scotty was like spud from trainspotting.

I agree in a way. I accidentally caught a spoiler about Vulcan being destroyed before I'd seen the film and I wasn't best please, but it did serve a purpose, as did Amanda's death, and this is a completely different timeline (I just didn't know that before I saw the film). I'd rather they did it this way, with the alternate time line, rather than completely destroying the Star Trek canon I've been watching for the past decade or so. This way I can stop worrying about continuity (Trekkies are big nitpickers ).

I was hoping Captain "I've got a French name but I'm really from Huddersfield" Picard would somehow show up seeing as the Romulan villain was from around the same time as the Next Generation/DS9/Voyager period.

Well it was either do what they have done, go further into the future or just remake TOS.

Out of the 3 options this is definitely the best.

One of our cable channels is playing the entire serie's of "Band of Brothers" and I have not watched anything else since I found it yesterday.

[Stealthgate007]

I was watching Iron man again and decided to look and see when the next one is coming out. I came accross some images. I guess Tony Stark will be racing



and wrecking...



Did he get Nelsino as a stunt man..
