The movie wasn't god awful but it wasn't ground breaking either.

A 6 out of 10 sounds fair to me. I wouldn't pay to see this, nor would I suggest anyone pay the $16 to see it in Imax. It was just okay. I think my main problem with this movie was the weak storytelling and lack of continuity, like I said overall okay but not worth shelling out any money for.

Saw it tonight, I quite liked it. It isn't exactly thought provoking, nor was the story super good. But you know what? It was really exciting, and just... fun. It's been a long time since I've seen a sci-fi movie with such a 'happy' looking spaceship, which is really something rare and incredible to see. The action and effects were top notch and the acting was quite good for what it was as well.

It wasn't absolutely groundbreaking or anything like that, but considering the source material and the obvious constraints of the genre, it was damn well done.

i am not a trekkie, and i liked it.

When you do alternate reality stuff you risk cheapen the characters and the platform that universe stands on. It was a good overall movie but lacks in storytelling and diverting away from established continuity was a risk I don't think will pay off.

Rottentomatoes gave it a super good rating probably because it is worth seeing (T-meter Critics is an indicator of the percentage of critics think it is worth watching). However if you look at the RT community, the Dark Knight has a a better rating, probably because more people think the Dark Knight is a better movie.

I watched it today. It is an awesome movie, great computer enhanced graphs, worth my A$16.5. Even though like a few people have already mentioned, it has no depth.

rottentomatoes sucks ass

I liked it but probably wouldn't have if I was a trekkie

Way better than wolverine.

It was better than I expected, but I expected it to be terrible. Characters were ok, science/story aggravated me a bit.

[Summa]

Positives: Sound Track and Simon Pegg....oh and it looked pretty...

Negatives: everything else.

I was highly disappointed by this movie....not that I was looking forward to it, my gf just dragged me with her. It was simply another summer blockbuster kind of movie that was one note. Honestly I couldn't disagree with epi more, I found it rather boring, and if the epic classical music wasn't so epic to keep me enthralled....I think I would have fallen asleep. That is until Simon Pegg entered the movie (although what was that bs about just giving it to him? I would be SO pissed). Essentially J.J. Abrams sacrificed Star Trek 1 to set up a grand stage for Star Trek 2, but he kept it pretty enough and with enough booms and laughs to make big bucks. Oh and for having so much "blah blah blah this is logical" shit in their movie, they sure had some flaws in their logic. Oh well, sacrifice away J.J., hope you deliver next time now that you set the stage.

I know my brother was going on about it. I didn't care because they fucked up in other areas like making it an alternative reality and adding plot twists just for a quick cheap and meaningless emotional response (which Star Trek Enterprise was known for). But he was saying like "So entering a blackhole in the first half of the move and your ship goes back in time... but in the second half of the movie your ship just blows up". And the Uhura and Spock thing was completely stupid.

I think the problem is there's a lot of people vying for attention and control over the future of the franchise, and while adding Nimoy was a nice addition I think it constituted a major rewrite which caused the story to lose focus and become less about the established characters. If Abrams thought he couldn't do the movie without creating a new platform to work off of then he shouldn't have touched the story at all.

I dunno, the so-called continuity has been broken so many times that it's not even worth talking about anymore.

So no matter what they do, they'd just ruin the continuity even more, unless they wanted to make a ridiculously boring movie with either the Enterprise, DS9 or Voyager crew (remember the last 2 TNG movies sucked) which would suck just as much or just invent a totally new cast. While I guess they could invent a new cast, for marketing reasons, bringing back the old is a good way to do it.


As for the ship blowing up, the 2nd time around the singularity happened INSIDE the ship, instead of the ship being sucked into it. But yeah , I wouldn't take time travel in any sci-fi movie that seriously except for Time Cop with Jean Claude-Van Damme.

[H.M.S. Stargazer]

Kal Penn is buds with Obama and John Cho is fucking Sulu? The universe makes no sense anymore....

Maybe its an 'alternate reality'!!!!!

:fear:

The sticking point for me was destroying Vulcan. I understand they did it to give a sense of urgency and loss, symbols we can connect with in our time but I don't think they needed to do it just to make Spock emo and write in Nimoy. It's fine if Nero came back and killed Kirk's father and it nearly pushed him away from joining Starfleet and being the person he was meant to be... That I can accept and it would have worked out in the wash with him becoming captain and everyone falling into place but it really messes with so much more.

I don't think it being inside the ship or out mattered. Thinking about it now, I have no fucking idea what red matter is so I guess it doesn't matter.
