Really good movie. I can't call it 'great' until I see it more than once.
I'm fairly into Star Trek - seen all the movies, all of the TV series - but have never gone to conventions, dressed up as a Romulan or learned Klingon. I think the casting was superb, all of the main characters were cast perfectly. There were a few things in the movie that struck me, as a Star Trek fan, oddly, but it didn't take away from the movie. I felt at first like the main villain was underused, more something to move the story along than anything else, but then I recognized that the main conflict in this movie is between Kirk and Spock, not Good Guys vs. Villain. I'll be seeing it again this weekend. |

awesome... can't wait to see it, though got rockets tonight then busy rest of the weekend. hopefully will see it sometime next week. I'm same as you, fairly into it but never gone as far as to dress up or go to cons. Though I'd probably go to a con if one came down here. I will say my phone uses several star trek noises, but hey they work well for phone ringers. The TNG door chime is great for text messages
 . Tricorder noise makes a good ring

That was my problem when I saw it last night, I'd notice something different and spend too much time thinking, "Hm, do I like this or no?" instead of just watching the movie. |

Mainly because i guess im protective of the fact that im a nerd to Trek and don't want it just becoming a rebooted action series instead of a nerdy sci-fi idea. Im sure i'll like it as long as it sticks with the mythology. -------------------- |

I'm not a huge follower of TOS shows but liked all TOS movies (yes, even the odds). Huge TNG fan, pretty big DS9 fan, kinda a halfass voyager fan (their borg episodes are kick ass, especially the final episode), only saw a couple of enterprise... didn't care for it.

How I rank Star Trek
TNG DS9 TOS Voyager Enterprise Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner alone made Star Trek what it is today. Yeah yeah Shatner and Nemoy were the front runners but TNG brought it to a whole new level. Deep Space Nine was a little boring until they started in on the whole Dominion thing. Voyager blows mainly because of Janeway and that annoying bitchy Klingon engineer Blana or whatever her name is. The only reason I rank it above Enterprise was the Borg storylines they incorporated including those involving that new species. Enterprise is an abomination to Star Trek and I can't believe Bakula would stoop that low. Anyway....I can't wait to see the movie. -------------------- "Ah, y'know it's funny, these people they go to sleep, they think everything's fine, everything's good. They wake up the next day and they're on fire."

The movie was very good. And as Aaron said it really is about the conflict between Spock and Kirk. Special effects were nice.
I think both trek and non trek fans can enjoy this movie a lot. -------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?
