Wow..........

I had some serious and severe apprehensions about this film as a long term trekkie and by god it didnt dissapoint there was enough content for the long term trek fans like myself to be satisfied that he did the franchise justice while structuring it in a way that you dont really need to know what came before to "get" it.

There were one or two things that dissapointed me but that was with 2 small sections of the film and didnt spoil the film as a whole for me.

I love this film and after the rather lackluster Next Generation outings (generations and first contact being the best of a bad bunch) i thought this was up there with the Wrath of Khan.

The only actor i felt let the side down and i dont know if it was the actors fault or the writers for giving him crap scenes but Anton Yelchin as Chekov really dissapointed me he barely got any scenes and the scenes he did get were like a charicature of the TOS Chekov, the very first scene he was in was a play on TOS Chekovs bad accent.

I saw the film early this morning, and loved it for the most part. I won't go into spoilery details, but there were definitely some disappointing moments. I thought Quinto's performance as Spock, while good from a looks perspective, was a horrible choice in the acting side of things. This is definitely a big jump in the right direction for Trek.

I have to disagree with the Khan remark as well. It still fell quite short of that mark. That being said, I think there is finally a brighter future for the universe, especially once they learn what things they did wrong this time around.

Liked it a lot. Can't remember the last Star Trek I was actually excited for. Some of the time travel/ black hole stuff was a bit wacky and didn't make much sense, but the rest of the film was great.

Read the prequel strips (4 parts) and you'll understand everything. They're also available on Itunes/appstore.

Went to the cinema yesterday and I loved it, never been much of a Star Trek fan but I got into the story right away. When I went home afterwards I got the sudden urge to pick up Mass Effect again, the movie reminded me so much of that game (which is a good thing) :D

Now that you say it, yea. Movie does make me wanna play ME. Though I have played it to hell and back. But as far as the movie goes it was just stunning. I went with no expectations and I must say that I havent seen anything this fun in a long time. Well put together. Well looking (lens flare galore). Its the kind of movie that you just sit back and enjoy the ride, and what an adventure it was. Saying i had no expectations i may have lied a bit, as i didnt expect it to be that funny or lighthanded as it was, but thats not bad thing in any way - it worked all the way through. Also kudos Michael Giacchino for awesome score!

Star Trek does $7 Million + on it's Opening Night (beating Iron Man and Wolverine openings):

Variety reports that Paramount Pictures' new Star Trek movie earned an estimated $7 million on Thursday night from most of its 3,800 screens.

The studio opened Iron Man on a Thursday night in May of 2008. That film grossed north of $4 milion in Thursday evening/midnight screenings on its way to making $102.1 million for the weekend.

Last weekend, 20th Century Fox's X-Men Origisn: Wolverine grossed nearly $5 million in midnight runs, although "Wolverine" didn't start its run until 12:01 a.m. Friday.

The original report is here.

OUTSTANDING MOVIE!!! :D :D :D (Saw it in IMAX!)

I Can't wait for the sequel Baby!

On my way home, I stopped by a Burger King to buy the $1.99 glasses.

A kid asked her(or his) mother "What is Star Trek?"

She replied "A stupid movie about spaceships, blah blah that people with No lives go to see."

I almost want to cuss the hell out of her!!! :|
