Let's NOT forget 96% of critics Approve Star Trek!

This movie is rated even Higher than The Dark Knight!!!

I don't see how you can say this movie was not good, unless you don't know what a good movie is.

It's number 82 atm on IMDB...I am sure it could go up further.

Yes, but Angels & Demons opens this coming weekend, and the week after that is T:S; so I don't see it being in first all that long. Don't you just love summer blockbusters?

No, I am talking about critics ratings, not the box office #s

It's number 82 atm on IMDB...I am sure it could go up further.

Rotten Tomatoes is my #1 movie review site!

If you noticed my earlier post, which I'll quote below...you'll see that I already said what the weekend total is:

Well, it's number 1 at the box office, however it fell short of Wolverine's $87,000,000 opening weekend. Star Trek's opening weekend total is $72,500,000.

Are those numbers adjusted for inflation? I heard adjusted for inflation First Contact made about 52 mil. It's still lower than Star Trek.

Let's look at it this way...

Star Trek 96%

Wolverine 37%

Wolverine is an Overhyped movie (The character himself is an OVERRATED X-man) that I rather see X-men 4 instead of Wolverine spinoff! Like I thought, it was bad, not much about it was that good for a Highly anticipated movie.

While this Star Trek was way WAY past the expectations, IMO.

i think you're describing star wars there actually.

JJ Abrams direct Actors much better than George Lucas, but George Lucas is great at action and storytelling.

This Star Trek's plot really ain't all that, but when you have a director that CAN direct actors BETTER, it makes a whole a LOT of difference!

After Nemesis, they have prequel comics that explain some of the plot points to tie this movie with the original series and TNG. Things like how did Nero know about Kirk and what not is given in the comics, too.

can you tell me what prequel comics ? so i can check them out ?

Who the hell cares about Wolverine? Discuss that trash in that thread.

it was a great action film; a nice alternate reality reboot of trek; I enjoyed it as long as I can overlook the many plot holes and "lazy" writing.

Agreed, i saw it yesterday and while it is a nice movie the only thing it has in common with the other movies/series is the name.

SPOILER:

I'm not a star trek guru, but throughout the 4 series i saw, the Federation was always extremely strict about messing with time. It seems like the federation of the 30th century is always occupied fixing damage to the timeline. But then they just sit there and watch one of their founding planets get sucked into a blackhole by a rouge romulan ex-miner?

Another one was how they escape the blackhole gravity well at the ending...i mean, to me it looked like they used a SINGLE DROP of red matter to create a blackhole big enough to suck away a supernova in a few seconds...then they ignite the whole red matter on that ship, even take their time to chat with the bad guys and only then escape the resulting blackhole with a melting warp drive explosion?! Come on, doesn't that sound at least a bit odd?

I might be wrong, but to me it sure doesn't look like the star trek based on actual science i used to like...

Because this movie isnt based on Star Trek canon timeline, its a complete reboot in every sense of the word.

Best movie ever (or, at least, this year). I go to the cinemas to evade and watch something entertaining, not some artsy bullcrap. This movie had it all: simple plot, entertaining, likable characters and time travel. They had me at time travel, obviously :D I guess diehard trekkies have every right to not like this movie, anyway. I liked it, and judging by the good reviews all over the place, I guess a lot of people also did. And while I respect other peoples right to not like it, the hardcore fanboyism I sense in some posts it's insane. It's like apple fanboys not liking the fact that everybody can have a mac, lol

Saw it on the weekend, epic win (Y)

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

Funny you should say that, that was exactly what was going through my head too! :D

I am indeed in the minority. The same minority that always loved Star Trek because it didn't cater to the mob, thanks for reinforcing my point ;)

It is not Star Trek as Gene roddenberry saw it, anything else is irrelevant, cash grabbing nonsense. Rejoice in the knowledge you are a sheep of the devolution.

Baaa! ;)

stop being a clown. you aren't even funny.

so anything roddenberry didn't write or work on is irrelevent cash grabbing nonsense?

well have fun watching TOS on dvd then. or maybe the DVDs are just a cash grab. the rest of us will get on with enjoying stuff a bit more recent too.
