Starr Trekkinng (spoilers so sdfu)

Yeah i know we've got that video in media but this is for discussion of the film. You're about to see my deep dark nerd side..again.

It certainly surprised me. I've never liked the star trek films all that much it always just felt like an extra long episode and not a film. This one isn't.

Another shocker; am i right in thinking they've reset the franchise with this film? Historys changed, it never got put back, everything that has happened up till now has been wiped and given the writers a chance to start fresh, erase those **** stupid talking dolphins from enterprise? ERASE all the god awful seasons of enterprise even?! Huuurraaay. It was in need of it, the moment they brought in talking animals it was in need of it.

ANYWAY on topic yeah good I rather liked the characters. Although the doctor shouting out random lines that the old guy used to say was just weird and not needed. The russian guy is an annoying ****. Didn't like Spoke having a love interest, that was just stupid. Spot on with Scotty though, I'd go as far as to say hes improved over the old one.

All in all great film which will hopefully lead to a new tv show that doesn't suck ***.

Few complaints;
- A bunch of recruits fresh out the academy being thrown onto the federations lead ship? Uh...do they not have any..you know, experianced officers? XD It seemed a bit stupid to put a bunch of rookies on board the ONLY person on that ship who seemed to have had experiance in the past was the captain and he lasted five minutes and had a silly name.
- Adding onto the above, bit far fetched making a rookie, who got caught cheating and was suspended from duty all together your number 1 on the federations leadship. wtf

What did yee think?

i have not see it and i will most likely not see it
but i think this movie has basically killed the old star trek and star trek is going to be in trouble
now these new fans will go watchthe star trek tv shows and be wtf is this? and they will complain that the tv shwos stink
so did sar trek actually hurt themselves?

Naa. I think it needed to shake the nerdy image it'd created for itself. Puts people off. If they can make it more action packed and attract a wider audience it'll only grow.

History wasn't changed. This is a different reality. The future we all know still happened. Spock traveled back in time from the 2380s to the 2230s (I believe) in this movie. And no, Enterprise still happened. Enterprise was set in the 2150s

It's not normal procedure to use the cadets. The only reason that happened was because the Enterprise hadn't had a full crew assigned since it was its maiden voyage.



I enjoyed it. There was lots of little drop ins from future series. I consider myself a major expert on the subject matter as I have seen all of the episodes and movies, I liked this one. So no it did not kill Star Trek.

It doesn't need the nerdiness as you guys have put it. All that matters is the true message of Star Trek which is still present.

Here are my four issues with it:
1. The ship was too bright. Ships are normally grey or tan shades. This happened after Enterprise so clearly that design would have already happened.
2. Scotty and Uhura could have been viewed as general characters who had never existed. The mannerisms of the others (Spock, Kirk, Bones, Checkov, Sulu) were portrayed as they would have been by the original actors.
3. The engine room is a series of tubes. The tubes can have thier purpose but they were filled with water. Typical engine coolant even in the 22nd century (Enterprise) was always a gaseous substance.
4. The warp effect was purple. The warp effect looked like the existing effect of accelerating to warp in previous instances of Star Trek. The purple wasn't necessary.

Overall it was great. Those were my only issues and they are very tiny. Ones that you all who have not seen the massive amounts of Star Trek that I have would not have noticed.

Oh yea, did anyone catch Scotty blabbering on about how he accidentally beamed Admiral Archer's prized Beagle away That is one of the references that made the movie great for me. Of course also ending with the franchise's tagline was nice as well. The message I hope all of you that have seen it got out of it is that everything is done for the greater good and rather than just using a massive fleet of ships (with firepower) against the villain they (in most cases) work out a way to take it out without that many ships, in this case the black hole. I'd place this movie on the same level as Insurrection which is good, but not as good as the best (First Contact).

I saw it last Friday, I thought it was good. I've never watched an episode of Star Trek but I liked it.

I would claim this as my favorite movie ever. IT WAS FRICKING AWESOME! The irony (such as Bones saying "I love that guy"(Spock) was just too great.

"What are you trained in?" -Kirk
"Fencing." -Sulu
XD

The only thing I did not like was the fact that in the alternate reality, Pike never meets the girl that they found on the super-smart brain alien planet. (See Pilot of The Original Series)

As for the love between Spock and Uhura, I thought that was unecessary. I thought it was the blonde lady (can't remember her name) that loved Spock, but he always denied it. This was in the earlier episodes.

It aint like they had a spaceship parked on the planet with a couple hundred people standing next to it waiting for an inevitable attack from a giant space ship from the future. XD

Besides that for all you know they did attempt to fight back and lost i mean star fleet showed up and got it's *** handed to it as well.

Not to meantion if the vulcans destroyed the ship and saved the day it wouldn't make a very good movie.

It didn't break. They just disabled the jamming signal thing that stopped them from teleporting and ****.

That's why they was rushing to stop them getting to earth because they was going to do the same thing. There plan was to land on it and plant explosives but the guy carrying the explosives died.
