Star Trek

Yes, the new Star Trek movie is out in Theaters! Director JJ Abrams has come up with a new Star Trek movie, based off the first adventures of James T Kirk, Spock, Dr. McCoy, Uruha, Chief engineer Scott, Chekov and Sulu during their Starfleet Academy days.

Spoiler Alert/Plot: An evil Romulan named Nero (played by Eric Bana) travels to the past, and has a vendetta against "Ambassador Spock" (Played by veteran actor Leonard Nimoy). The young James T. Kirk joins Starfleet on the insistance of his father, and ends up beaming aboard the Enterprise, and is confronted by the half-Vulcan Spock.

I liked it, though there were Groanworthy bits, I like especially that the Vulcans were portrayed as Stoic rather than fleshy robots.

I liked it, as well. Also, there is a mistake in your spoiler alert, btw. :P

While I certainly took minor issues with little bits of the movie, (the villains, I think, were what I had the most problem with), I really enjoyed what they did with it on the whole--if they can keep the quality up, I would be delighted to see further movies/shows...? from this new reboot.

I think the very idea behind the reboot was very neat, but I'll keep my mouth shut about it for now.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie and thought it was very well made. And several actors were very, very good. Scotty and the Doc come to mind especially, but everyone did a good job.

Just saw it this evening, and I really liked it. Plenty of shout outs to the classic series while still doing it's own thing. I'm not sure it quite qualifies as Star Trek, but it's very enjoyable.

I actually liked how the villains were, I guess this is slightly spolierish, a guy with a mining vessel and his crew with a huge desire for vengeance. And a planet drill. That was something else.

I had never watched anything Star Trek before, and after watching that movie, I had the urge to go online, and *cough* borrow*Cough* a bunch of episodes using utorrent, and I have to say, I liked it a lot.

:shock: Star Trek series must be trouble to download, having hour long episodes and seven seasons at 25 episodes a piece... btw, which series are you watching because some *ahem* the last two *ahem* are questionable at best.

I was thinking about starting at numero uno and working my way forward, however i might consider skipping the last two, just because of a gut feeling...

and for the issue of downloading that much stuff, I has a 1TB external drive....lotsa anime, music and similarly downloaded games....though thats supposed to be a secret...so hush hush..
