Anyone seen it yet? Are you a Trekkie? My parents are/were Trekkies. Apparently they came really closing to dressing up for their conventions. *shudder* XD I mean, I'm a Trekkie too but that might be a little over kill. Anyways I was totally expecting the new movie to suck and not be anything like the originals... Man, was I wrong.  I just saw it today and plan on seeing it a second time on Monday.  It was super awesome. I gotta hand it to JJ Abrams. He really knows how to create amazing stuff. And Karl Urban was effing amazing at playing Bones. |

My uncle's are huge star trek fans.. and yeah, i laugh at those people too, but i can see where they are coming from and accept it. XD I know i would dress up as batman or something. movie is amazing, i agree. Best movie of the year so far. My only problem was the finding of a certain somebody on the planet. I overlooked it, but it's still there.  ... and maybe the only Miscast in the film was Winona Ryder. lol I don't know much about the star trek universe, and i enjoyed the shit out of this movie. |

Completely fucking loved it. My dad is a fucking huge Trekkie, and has shared some of that with me. I love JJ Abrams to death, so I probably would have liked this anyway, but damn. Good going, best summer movie since the first Pirates came out, I'd say.
Going to see it again today.

I loved Star Trek and I used to hate it. I always thought it looked really stupid but this was a REALLY good movie. It's gonna be the best movie of the summer, if not the year. That one movie made me believe that Star Trek >> Star Wars.
Edit: but what's with Kirk's face on the posters and stuff. It's almost too symmetrical, you know what I'm saying.

i really liked it. i was never a star trek guy (or a starwars guy for that matter) but i liked the new breath of light it gave to the series. everyone felt like the belonged though some of the dialouge was a little questionable at times though i was informed most of the questionable dialouge were refferences to the series so i can't complain about little fanservice stuff like that.
id give it a 5/5. a must see.

Yeah I heard my uncle say that you didn't need to be a Trekkie to like this film. I was going to see it yesterday but I wasn't feeling to good at the time.

I saw it, and I liked it a lot. The ending was also great. The only thing I would want to change is how much camera motion there was. I mean, if there are going to be fist fights with close-ups, then I miss a lot of stuff with the camera rocking about.

It worked so well because it was so well-balanced - Trekkie-heavy, yet with enough emotional draw that a general movie-goer would like and absorb.
I wasn't ready to compare it to BSG as a space opera because they're apples and oranges, but I can say that it pleased me just as much as BSG first did.

First: They prefer the term "Trekker".
Second: The movie was brilliant. The only problem I saw was with how everything seemed to fall into place so perfectly. It kind of irked me.
Other than that, really really enjoyed it. I'm a pretty big fan of Star Trek, having grown up watching TNG and Voyager. My mom is a fan too, and I highly recommended she go watch it in theaters.

I saw it on IMAX the other day. Great opening.
I've never seen an episode, but I have general knowledge, and I still enjoyed the movie.

I saw it 7 times already, I can't get enough of that great movie!
It is already # 1 Movie of the Year I think.
I was expecting it to be that when I saw the first trailer, it looked good, I guess my guess was correct.

GPink - My whole life it was Trekkie. Not sure when it got changed to Trekker. But who cares, it's all the same :3 @derek - holy crap 7 times? XD I only saw it twice. My mom saw it three times. Seriously an awesome movie though.
