Go see star trek
 

what an absolutely amazing movie. special effects were on a whole new level and most importantly the story was good and really helped pass the torch. fans of the series will be impressed by how accurately the mannerisms of the original characters are portayed especially carl urban he is pitch perfect as Dr McCoy. also its very accessible for new comers and restarts the franchise in a very smart way

so yeah extremely well made the first 10 mins is one of the best opening sequences ive seen in theaters.

going to be hard to out do this movie. alot of good summer movies yet to come but i dont see them having the impact and feel of this one


i give it 5 out of 5

Nice to hear. Been waiting patiently.

my wife went to the premier and met a bunch of them... she spent a lot of time talking to "hurley" of "lost"... apparently all of jj abrams people were there from his tv shows... i haven't seen it yet, but look forward to it

just tell me they didnt do anything utterly retarded like putting a pink alien in the movie that talks like a stoned jamacan and name it jarjar.

if I had to put up with that I would want to rule the galactic empire as well.

lets see
a green girl kirk gets busy with a little dude that looks like an ewok with no hair and one or 2 random aliens....

but just the presentation was amazing! the way the ships went into and came out of warp the lens flares on the camera and how being out in space is depicted was very cool .

i could nitpick here and there but all i know is the war between star trek and star wars is over. this movie made the new star wars look like more piss than they already are.

i went in a little suspicious of the casting although quinto looked exactly like spock.. but they all were great chris pine does his own thing as kirk but there are a few direct nods there to shattner. even chekov and scotty were good...

the story doesnt reinvent the wheel as far as star trek goes. the villian and his motives are a sort of seen it before story arch but.... the way it involves spock makes sense and helps bring continuity from the old timeline to this new altered one.. so the sequel should take more leaps story wise. i would like to see JJ abrams take on the Borg maybe

im so obsessed with lost its not funny. im currently trying to watch season 5 while watchin 1 and 3 on scifi again all at the same time

I've never been a fan of Star Trek, but I'm definitely watching this movie. I've heard nothing but rave reviews.

im more of a next generation guy. picard FTW but yeah its good if youve never heard of star trek

ever notice how all of jj abrams stuff has time travel involved ? lost, alias, felecity, heroes, fringe, and now star trek... not sure if he's involved with heroes, but all the others

oh did i mention tyler perry is in it.. random

Never actually sat down and watched an episode of Star Trek in my life but definitely looking forward to seeing it this weekend. I guess in a way this movie will be more special to me since I'm not familiar with the plotline at all.

If you actually were around to watch the original series they did a brilliant job of tying the current into the past. A real homage to Gene Roddenberry and well worth seeing as my wife and I did last night! The theater was packed late last night with a lively crowd of all ages. My wife sat next to a young man whose every other word while watching in awe was f@#k. Gotta love it! :tup:

i second this... and i did not even want to watch the movie... i was just trying to get away from the smoke in santa barbara... but am very happy i decided to watch this...

star trek
 

So, has anyone seen the movie? What did you guys think of it?
I thought it was really good. I saw it thursday night and i'm probably going to see it saturday but in the Imax theater.

it was intresting, this was my first Star Trek movie i've watched, and it was really good.

I am glad you guys are giving it good reviews, I wasn't sure how well this was going to turn out. From what you guys are saying, I can't want to go see it.

Does Capt.Kirk, or Spock, nail the black chick?

I did about a hundred times last night (in my mind, anyway). Same for the green girl.

Have tickets reserved tonight at the Ritz. Can't wait!!!! Good night to take out the car too, temp tonight is gonna be around 65, can't ask for anything more.

GO SEE IT! The movie is SICK!

I LOVED the way they quickly and effectively explain why the details of this new Trek differs from the 'storyline' of the old Treks.

Bravo, well done; I will be a fan for another 'set' of years!!! Here's to a sequel!!!!

Agree, really nice job tying both 'realities' together in a way that let's them credibly revisit the whole shooting match... I'd like to see this one continue as a JJ Abrams TV Series... he was born for this!

Saw it last night, excellent. I have never been a Star Trek fan but the movie is very enjoyable.

Exceeded my expectations. Very nice way to reboot the franchise much like the way Batman Begins did for the batman franchise.

^^^ +1

how did this thread get in the marketplace?

:ugh: :o

Scotty beamed it over here on the transporter! :tup:

I would hate to spoil it. Go watch it. :tup:

I have had so many people tell me to go see this movie, and I read threads like this but for the life of me I just can't get interested enough to go see it. I've never seen a star trek movie or tv show, and I hated the new star wars movies. I do like the old ones, Star Wars and Empire, but thats about it. oh well, I guess I will wait for the DVD and give it a try. I will probably say you guys were right when I see it but I just remember how many people loved star wars phantom menace at first and then I saw it and it stunk.

You will kick yourself for not seeing in the thearter!!!! Trust your fellow 370z members!! Go check it out!!

I too was a fan of the older star wars movies...couldn't get into the "menace" 3. The Star Trek movie is great!

Saw it last night, amazing movie! Was very impressive and better than I expected! And i'm *NOT* a Star Trek fan.. so maybe that's why I liked it.. Maybe die-hard Trek fans hated it, I dunno.

never saw the previous ones, well maybe one. but, I loved it. even the gf liked it despite calling me a nerd (jealous). lol. but its cool. makes me wanna start watching the older ones

Trust me go see. I know a few people that aren't fans of the Star trek but after watching it they said they loved the movie.

Well at least she liked it.

I saw it at the Imax, was really good and I'm not a trekky.

i think the fact there isnt a negative comment in this thread shows how this is a good movie...considering that people are extremely sensitive in forums...

or maybe there isnt a star treck fan in this forum at all...

I've seen it twice already. But the Imax experience wasn't all that great. The actions scenes were just to blurry.

You sure you weren't at a LIEMAX theater?

IMAX or LIEMAX? - Google Maps
