Star Trek XI

[Tb1]

Not sure if there has been a thread on this yet. The new Star Trek trailer's attached with Quantum of Solace. Has anyone gotten a look at it yet? I'm dying to see it but I'm really not pumped for the new bond and don't feel like spending $10 to see it.

[Kalyx triaD]

Wouldn't call it 'XI'.

[Downunder]

Eric Bana :love:

[ct2k]

Dunno, the idea of any of the original ST crew being played by other actors still frightens me immensely tbh, but I will absolutely go and watch it regardless of what reviews it gets.

[Blue Demon]

I'm excited for it, but it got pushed back from Christmas to May because they felt more people would want to watch it in the summer. :-\

[mitchables]

Sylar looks like an amazing Spock.

[mitchables]

Also, as a fan of all things Trek, I am really psyched about this. I am looking forward to seeing how classic Trek scrubs up with modern CGI and sets and story-telling and all that craziness. Got big hopes for it.

Probably gonna be hugely disappointed though.

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, there was a thread on this. Also, is Kirk dressed up like a scene Kiddie in that still of the bridge crew, or what?

[Tb1]

Apparently it's an alternate command shirt. He still wears the Yellow so I've heard.

[Jeritron]

Just looks like normal black clothing to me.

I saw the trailer.

I've never been big on Trek, but this looks really interesting. The approach to the story seems really interesting, and fresh.
The style, which I hear will be more modern and adventurous/action packed and likely more epic in scale, is a great move.
The cast and everything looks great.

The only thing that looks lame from the trailer, and I could be wrong, but visually it seems to look too bright and crispy. Like the mix between a Michael Bay movie and a show from the sci fi channel. Like too polished and fake looking almost.
Just doesn't seem appropriate for the material and even from a short trailer looks a bit jarring.

Also, I thought John Cho or whatever his name is from Harold and Kumar was a good choice, but when I saw him in action I just couldn't take it seriously.

Seems really interesting though, and thats coming from someone who doesn't have much interest in the franchise. Def gonna see it. Has the potential to be really good.

[Jeritron]

I suppose it's obvious that I saw the trailer last night btw, although I didn't preface my statement with it.

[Tb1]

Holy shit.

[Jeritron]

Okay, that was better the second time.

[mitchables]

ahfsagfsha that looks awesome :'(

[Jeritron]

One thing that threw me off when it first started is I was like 'what the fuck is this', it looked like a new fast and the furious movie until he said "James T Kirk"
Probably why it seemed a bit off to me the first time.

It def looks good. Star Trek, to me, always had a good premise but I just couldn't get into it as a youth due to the lack of excitement and action, and the lack of operatic storytelling. I was a Star Wars lad.
Fortunately, JJ Abrams was too and said he has aimed to take Star Trek as a premise and make the new films like Star Wars films.
I think that's great and it looks to be the right move.

[Tb1]

I think it looks great. I've been a Trek fan my entire life. However, there is one thing that scares me. It has to have an underlying moral issue, a good Right vs. Wrong plot or it's just sci-fi. Trek ALWAYS has to have that. It's what makes it different.

[Jeritron]

I'm sure it will

[mitchables]

The later Trek series had far more action than the earlier stuff. The Dominion War during DS9 is one of my favourite sci-fi story arcs EVAR. :heart:

But this looks great :love:

[Jeritron]

The only Trek movies I liked, that I've seen, are Wrath of Khan and First Contact (I think it was)

I watched the one with the whales when I was high once and it was pretty rofl

[ct2k]

Ok looks pretty good

[Jeritron]

I'm really more excited about this than any of the major releases next summer.
Even as a non-fan.

Transformers 2 will hopefully be fun, but lightning probably won't strike twice.
Wolverine looks like shit
Another Terminator movie, without Arnold, directed by McG? Not really pumped for that.

This is probably the most interesting looking, and competently helmed adventure of the season.
I'm really looking forward to Apatow's next movie Funny People and Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds, which come out next summer, but those are hardly action-adventure blockbusters. So by default this takes the cake.

[ct2k]

Completely forgot about Inglorious Bastards

[Kane Knight]

Apparently it's an alternate command shirt. He still wears the Yellow so I've heard.

And the eyeshadow?

[ct2k]

They've turned Kirk into an emofagsceneboytranny:(

[D Mac]

lol it has a sex scene

[Destor]

Super unimpressed by that trailer. Looks like total ass.

[Destor]

spock looks great though.

[Kane Knight]

Anyone got that picture of the bridge crew? It's not showing up for me here on TPWW or on photobucket. My Dad's a huge Star Trek fan and I wanted to send him the shot, but the only one that's showing up for me is Quinto as Spock.

[Jeritron]

So is this a reboot, or a prequel?
Or does it double as both?

[YOUR Hero]

This is my kind of movie. I grew up with Star Trek.

[Kane Knight]

So is this a reboot, or a prequel?
Or does it double as both?

I've read it's both.

[Tb1]

Kirk's always been a ladies man. Not that surprised.

[Tb1]

Both. Not a total reboot, but it seems like they're changing a few things.

[Downunder]

I think this is a movie that will divide people down the middle, love it or hate it, no middle ground.

I for one as a Star Trek fan am looking foward to seeing it.

[Nowhere Man]

The hardcore nerd in me is still screaming over the fact that they've apparently gotten rid of Captain Pike (who was captain of the Enterprise before Kirk), but looking at it just as a non-canon big exciting space adventure, I'm looking forward to it.

IMDB has someone cast as Christopher Pike.

[Tb1]

Christopher Pike's doing the voice over during the opening part of the trailer with Kirk.

[Jon Kano]

Never really been a big time fan.

Used to watch TNG when we first got sky.

But this....this interest me.

[D Mac]

You're total ass. :foc:

[Blue Demon]

That would be Bruce Greenwood

[therocksays]

there better be a shower scene

Ah. Well then now my inner canon-fanatic is satisfied.

[Kane Knight]

I'm sure they'll make plenty of changes. I don't know. Most of what I know about Trek comes from my parents anyway. It's not that I don't like Sci Fi, but I've been more of the B5/Farscape/Stargate Type. The movie looks like it could be cool, though. I've always liked mostof the Trek ship designs, too.

I liked the movies more than the original series, though. Or TNG, for that matter.

[Tb1]

Ah. Well then now my inner canon-fanatic is satisfied.

And Sarek's doing to voice over during the Spock segment. He mentions destiny when he's talking, which kind of upsets me because destiny is a human term. And Vulcan's don't believe in destiny. But whatever I don't think anyone else will notice.

[Tb1]

Better quality.

I dunno, that grated me too slightly, but I think that's because I'm pretty wary about the new treatment of Spock's family history. There was talk a while back that they were going to make Amanda Grayson a Vulcan, too.

As far as I'm aware they haven't followed through on it, since that would completely remove the entire tragic/character-defining duality of Spock's nature, but I'm nonetheless wary about what they're gonna do to my (and arguably, everyone's) favourite Vulcan.

(although Tuvok is a close second :heart:</>)

[Tb1]

His Mom's still human. And judging from the trailer, they're focusing on that quite a bit. However Kirk's storyline is completely new, so that's where they've got me nervous.

[mitchables]

Oh, thank God for that. It wouldn't make any sense for Spock to be full Vulcan; it destroys what makes him awesome.

Kirk I'm a little worried about, honestly. I hope they don't ignore the Tarsus IV massacres (even if you don't see them a reference would be nice) and the fact that he wasn't on Earth again until just before he joined Starfleet. Plus, if these are indeed the Academy days, what of people like Mallory, Finnegan, and Ben Finney and Gary Mitchell? The Kobiyashi Maru incident? Remnants of the "old" story? Or characters and events that'll make an appearance in new Kirk's time at the Academy?

I won't mind so much if they retcon it so that Pike never captained the Enterprise specifically and is just an Academy mentor or another ship's captain or what have you. That still works for me. I am just glad he is in there. But there is significant time spent in TOS discussing Kirk's Academy days, so if they do not fan service at least a couple of those events, I am gonna be a little upset.

Not "I won't ever watch this movie again" upset, but a part of me will be a little disappointed.

[Tb1]

I'm not in on all the specifics, however I do know that they do address the Kobiyashi Maru, either talking about it or it happening in the movie. Which I would love. I also know Kirk takes over for Pike, so Pike does command the Enterprise in the movie. He's the one that yells out "Fire all weapons" in the trailer.

So, at least two good things confirmed. :y:

[mitchables]

Sweet. Yes. This is sounding better the more I hear.

[Tb1]

http://trekmovie.com/2008/11/19/trekmovie-star-trek-trailer-analysis/

That's pretty much all the information there is derived from the trailer.

[RP]

Are they gunna have a scene where Kirk and Scottie and Sulu are kids and Kirk and Scottie wanna go play football, but Sulu wants to go play hop scotch?

[Tb1]

Hopefully, only time will tell. But I'm hoping Sulu bangs a dude before the films over.

Updated, includes old Spock.

[The Mackem]

When I found out Simon Pegg was Scotty, I was like 'what's going on here' in a this might be very strange but funny kinda way.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

This film can't be worse than Nemesis, which Film4 always seems to be showing. Show First Contact for fucksake.

[Nowhere Man]

Man, Nimoy did not age well. I mean, Shatner got all doughy, sure, but Leonard looks like a freaking skeleton.

[Anathema]

Im sure it will be a cool movie. But if your a trek geek who wants everything to stand by cannon then you probably be a bit pissed of by it!

I get the feeling its going to get the same after treatment as 'kingdom of the crystal skull' though.

Resisting temptation to squeal like a little girl...

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD...THAT LOOKS AMAZING.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

That looks pretty bad ass to me. I got a bit of a shiver whilst watching it. :shifty:

Therefore it will probably suck. Though, it can't be worse than the last couple of Star Trek films.

[Jeritron]

http://jamestkirk.ytmnd.com/

[mitchables]

That looks awesome. As a jaded Trekkie (largely due to Insurrection), this trailer has totally restored my hopes for the franchise.

[D Mac]

Looks like they have the old Original Series uniforms. cool.

[YOUR Hero]

Trailer looked pretty awesome atthe theaters last night. A bit thrown togerther and not completely understood, but yeah.

Terminator trailer looked really good. Really good.

[The Destroyer]

That trailer looks absolutely brilliant, I can't wait for this to come out now.

The music is awesomely epic as well - shame it's turned out to be trailer music rather than music from the film itself. :(

[Wolfpack423]

In the trailer it looks like Kirk takes over for Pike. he sits in the captain's chair and assumes leadership. I have never been a Star Trek fan. I always thought it was way too nerdy and the series always bored me. I did like Worf though, which won't be in this on because that's Next Generation. My friend John is really into it so I know characters from him. Zachary Quinto looks dead on as Spock though. I might check this out, though it is Star Trek so I'll see when the time comes. I am not looking forward to Terminator either. T2 is the best Terminator as well as being one of the best movies ever in my opinion. I liked T3 as well, but this one has not Arnold and I am not a huge Christian Bale fan. It just doesn't seem like Terminator without Arnold.

[parkmania]

If you are thinking about seeing this movie, you ought to be checking out the prequel comic books. Very interesting read.

[KillerWolf]

i'm 34 years old. i never liked Star Trek as a kid and have never liked it since. and i've never cared for the Star Trek movies either. now, having been on the planet for a few decades, i have come to know what to expect from Star Trek movies. and i must say, that this trailer looks interesting. it looks like they're taking Star Trek into a new direction, and that's a good thing. unfortunately, if this movie turns out to be really good - they will shit out a bunch of limp sequels as soon as possible.

[Tb1]

Definitely check out the prequel comics. The set of 4 is coming out next week.

[Mooияakeя™]

Another Terminator movie, without Arnold, directed by McG? Not really pumped for that

Personally pumped for this too:

http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/terminatorsalvation/



As for Start Trek.... I CANNOT FUCKING WAIT!

I didn't mind Enterprise once Manny Coto was one of the main men on the production staff. So hopefully, Star Trek will be back with a new series.

I'd personally love Titan to be involved with Riker and Tuvok (I know that ain't Canon, but a great starting point as we already know 2 crew members).

Or my fave idea was DS9 again, they could of kept that going on and on. It was so diff to all other ST series. With the addition of the defiant and Gamma quadrant, it was just an immense space to play with for the writing crew.


Or, another idea would be with Michael Shanks as captain. Personally, i thought it was such a good idea, he's well known and liked in SCI-FI circles to be given a chance

As much as I love DS9. It's done, there's nothing more they can do with it with the Dominion War over. And they can't really explore the Gamma Quadrant anymore, as they said numerous times in the show that the Dominion controls just about all of it.

Sure, they could always do a 2 hour TV movie about Sisko and Odo coming back, with a story about the Cardasians having problems rebuilding there government after the war. But it's been like 11 years since the show ended so doubt we'll ever see DS9 again other then being mentioned.

I agree, I was rather leaning toward they shouldn't have stopped it at the 7 seasons rule. I enjoyed just as many episodes based on DSP or when some delegates were coming from Romulus, Ferenginar, Kronos or Earth. Couple that with Section 31, Vic Fontaine and Odo and Quark being an entire story in themselves, being a devious little shit hiding from the cop etc. Awesome stuff.

Reviews look good, but I never really listen to reviews, we all like different things etc. etc.

I am going to see it regardless, even if it was a pile of shit according to everyone else.

I look forward to some discussing if people will bother to post here. i don't even know where it comes out in the UK

[Tb1]

I believe it's on the 7th.

Is it me or do those videos not work?

[D Mac]

They worked for me. Can't wait.

Nice that I ain't the only Trekkie on here. Or maybe I am :shifty:

I can't speak Klingon though.

[D Mac]

Did you know there is such a thing as a Klingonese to English dictionary? :lol:

[YOUR Hero]

Yeah I grew up on Star Trek. Had the figures and the bridge of the Enterprise with a transporter and stuff. Probably trashed it, can't remember. Wish I still had it (in mint condition) probably would be worth 1 trillion dollars

[Mooияakeя™]

Did you know there is such a thing as a Klingonese to English dictionary? :lol:

lol. No, linky!

Just type it into google, sure you'll get 50 Billion results.

Going to see this tomorrow night. Can't wait.

[YOUR Hero]

Looking forward to this and the Terminator Salvation movie.

[Jeritron]

Looking forward to this and the Terminator Salvation movie.

[Haze]

what Your Hero and Jeritron said.

[D Mac]

What Your Hero and Jeritron said and what thehazeeffect refered to.

[Jeritron]

I wasn't pumped for the new Terminator movie at all, at first. Basically, I think it looks better than I thought now, but I still have doubts.
Either way, I want to find out first hand.

I can no longer enter into this thread as i am not seeing this film until next week possibly 13th with Orange Wednesdays. Grrrr.

[Shaggy]

I can no longer enter into this thread as i am not seeing this film until next week possibly 13th with Orange Wednesdays. Grrrr.

Yea same here....I wanna see it this weekend buy my fiance wants me to wait to see it with her....Ill try to hold out...buy may just see it and lie to her....thats a great way to do a relationship right?

[Mooияakeя™]

Well, to help u out here, two mates have both gone with their girls and both girls have loved it. I mean. LOVED it. Not Sci Fi fans like, but they thought it was awesome.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

The film looks downright sexy. They better not fuck it up.

If it does well, maybe we might get a new TV series of some kind.

[Adder]

The nemesis in this movie, is that Christian Bale? And is he supposed to be a Klingon?

[parkmania]

The nemesis in this movie, is that Christian Bale? And is he supposed to be a Klingon?

It's Eric Bana, and based on the Prequel comics, he's a Romulan.

[Mooияakeя™]

Eric Bana ain't it?

You know, when Manny Coto started writing for Enterprise, that show really picked up. I enjoy it now it's gone off more than when it was on. I'd personally like to see the next one based around Riker on the Titan, as it's what we know and back up to speed with where we are now.

It'd be fucking irritating if they did stuff with Kirk and stuff with different guys, not only to he original (obv) but to the film as well as I don't see those guys doing 5-7 series and on top of that, scrapping Enterprise then doing this shit again would be a kick in the teeth.

[Mooияakeя™]

Oh yeah, but they're all signed on for 2 more movies. If they want.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I definitly think a new series, if it ever happened, should be based around the aftermatch of the Dominion war, and totally get rid of the whole Roddenberry Utopian nonsense. Make it quite dark. But over than that, i don't know where I would take it.

Enterprise seasons 3 and 4 kicked ass. It was just the first two seasons that blew.

[Mooияakeя™]

Enterprise seasons 3 and 4 kicked ass. It was just the first two seasons that blew.

EXACTLY!!!! MANNY COTO FTW.

[Tb1]

Crazy.

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/star_trek_11/

30 positive reviews on Trek, no negative. I know I'm a little biased, but damn. I've never seen that before.

[Fox]

Just got back from seeing a sneak preview.

Amazing movie. Mind-numbing entertainment. Go. You will not regret it.

[D Mac]

I've never seen any episodes of Enterprise. :o

[The Mackem]

Bana is in the movie? Damn, definitely going to see it now.

[jony lions]

jus seen it this mornin.its 3 hours long

[Tb1]

2 hours, 6 minutes actually.

[parkmania]

As much as I'd like it, I don't see a new series coming from this movie: 1)Zach Quinto already has a gig with Heroes,2) to keep these "movie stars" all around for the show would probably be cost-prohibitive, and 3) if you recast the roles yet again for the tv, would anyone really care enough to watch?

[D Mac]

I'd just be happy with more action packed movies.

[Tb1]

Alright, going tonight. Way too excited. Seeing it at 7:00 and 10:00.

[Mooияakeя™]

I'd just be happy with more action packed movies.

As I said earlier, they're defo signed on for 2 more. Writing the script for ST12 started in March 2009 and it's around summer 2011 when it'll come out. If all goes to plan etc. etc. J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk will produce, but Abrams hasn't signed on to direct it. Yet anyway.

[D Mac]

Twice in one night? :wtf:

[D Mac]

I'm going Sunday, because Fri and Saturday showings will probably be packed.

[Tb1]

Twice in one night? :wtf:

Indeed. Seeing it Friday, too.

[mitchables]

Saw it a couple nights ago. Loved it.

[Jeritron]

Just saw it. Loved it.

[mitchables]

I thought the cast were perfect. Chris Pine fucking owned that role, and other than Zachary Quinto, probably had the biggest legacy to live up to.

Karl Urban and Simon Pegg were both magnificent.

[Jeritron]

I basically loved everything about it except for two brief parts I thought the movie was above

[mitchables]

Which were?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I fucking hate Star Trek, utterly despise it.

Until this afternoon. My boss is a major Trekkie and let us out early if we went to Star Trek with him and he'd pay so I thought AT WORST I could piss about with my phone.

Loved pretty much every second. Casting and pacing were perfect. Defo gonna get it on Blu-Ray when it's out.

[Jeritron]

Which were?


1. the use of Beastie Boys. I love the Beastie Boys, but it just kinda seemed hokey to use modern music in a space epic. I'm glad it was the only instance.
2. The puffy hands. I enjoyed that whole sequence, and thought it was fun. I liked the idea of him being snuck aboard with a sickness. I just thought they looked/seemed like something from a kid's comedy or Will Smith in Hitch.


But those were literally a matter of seconds. They really aren't complaints, rather than things I rolled my eyes at.
Other than that it was an incredibly good movie.

[Jeritron]

Casting was indeed amazing.

Spock was incredible. I knew he looked the part but I couldn't believe how well he played it.

Captain Kirk was the man. I was shocked by how good an actor he was.

[Tb1]

Yeah, I can't say enough good things. Absolutely amazing. It hurts a bit to say this, but better than both FC and WOK.

[Jeritron]

I have the urge to check out some Star Trek movies now. I have seen a few over the course of my life, but never sat down and really properly watched any.

[Tb1]

Watch Wrath of Khan. As I told my friend last night who had never seen Star Trek, if you watch an older movie you will likely be disappointed. Not because they're bad movies, but because they are very different from this one.

[Jeritron]

I appreciate good movies of all shapes and sizes though. I'm not just looking for action and adrenaline. If it's good I'll like it.

I enjoyed the action in the new one, but characters and dialogue are what makes a movie for me.

[Mooияakeя™]

I agree with TB1. I think due to the 'failure' of Enterprise, the studio are completely starting again. They know they have a damn powerful franchise, but needed it to reach more mainstream audience. This new film by far has done it.

If people gave up the stereotype "geek" thing with Star Trek and just watch it. They will find it's humorous, intelligent, developed, interesting and above all entertaining. It's not at all difficult to follow. it's a well known fact that treknobabble is just made up anyway to make it sound advanced. ( http://hyotynen.kapsi.fi/trekfailure )

I know I'm not going to fly across galaxies, so this is my way of living it out and I think Star Trek is an awesome outlet for the minds more adventurous side, in a TV sense anyway (compared to Sunset Beach et al).

[Tb1]

Check these out...

Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
Star Trek: First Contact

[Lock Jaw]

I like Star Trek II, III, IV, and VI. Don't bother with the first one or the fifth one.

Of the TNG movies, I'd only recommend Generations and First Contact.

[Mooияakeя™]

I'd like to urge people to watch a few TNG episodes called:

The Inner Light
The Best of Both Worlds (2 parter)
The Measure of a Man

All are beautifully written, excellently executed and in some parts deal with many issues and questions in life. They're masterpieces in TV, not just Star Trek.

[Jeritron]

Seems like this movie is doing wonders for the awareness and appreciaton of Star Trek movies/episodes.

I can testify personally, that I have always been very aware of the Star Trek movies (I know all the names and stuff), but I've never followed it or been interested.
This new movie was the first time I've ever been interested in Trek, let alone pumped.
So yea, definitely going to try to watch some of the good stuff.

I hope they make more sequels with this cast and JJ Abrams.

[Mooияakeя™]

If it's as good as everyone (can't believe I'm writing that word here) is saying, then lets hope! I won't see the film till Weds next week at earliest so can't comment yet.

[Nowhere Man]

Just got back from the movie, and enjoyed the hell out of it. Though I couldn't help but notice something eerily familiar about the plot structure...

A ruthless villain with an unstoppable planet-destroying superweapon? A troubled farm-boy who never knew his heroic father? A mysterious old hermit letting said farm-boy in on a secret that will be his call to greatness?

So that's how they made Star Trek a blockbuster again--they pulled the plot from the first Star Wars! :p

Seriously, though, it's a damn fun movie. Great cast, phenomenal effects, and writing that doesn't suck, so thumbs up.

[Triple Naitch]

Prob going to see it on Sunday. Not Trek fan at all. I've never even seen an episode or movie, but this looks good.

[Blue Demon]

Just saw it. Loved it.

[YOUR Hero]

I'm super excited right now, with what you guys are saying. OMG OMG OMG

These are just the plot points of "The Hero's Journey." You also forgot the "Belly of the Beast" moment, which was his adventure with Chickenasaurus Rex on that ice planet.

You can find the same plot points in many, many movies, including Lord of the Rings and Batman.


As am amateur filmmaker myself, I wanted to see if anyone else noticed JJ Abrams' use of lens flares throughout the film (when the camera turns and you can see the light spectral circles of the lenses). There were more lens flares in this film than perhaps I have ever seen in a 2 hour film, and they almost became a part of the storytelling in the way they were used.

Amazing movie. Gearing up to go see it again here in a few minutes.

[Tb1]

[Jeritron]

Check these out...

Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
Star Trek: First Contact

Nice reccomendations. Those are pretty much what I've always heard are "the good ones"

I watched First Contact tonight and enjoyed it quite a bit, even though I was playing catch up for the first half hour or so. Pretty awesome once it clicked though.

I'm going to try to get my hands on the other two this week.

[D Mac]

All I can say is Awesome. I'll be pre ordering this on Blu Ray disc for sure.

[Mooияakeя™]

Nice reccomendations. Those are pretty much what I've always heard are "the good ones".

There is a quip amongst trekkies that the even ones are the good ones and the odd ones are the shit ones. I think that's the right way around anyway. Of course it's not extended to all films, but just a general joke.

[KYR]

Saw it yesterday and loved it.

Only have two criticisms...



I thought the Bridge 'looked' too Hi-Tech and too 'Sterile-White' when taken into context with the Original Series.
I didn't like the romantic side-line story between Spock and Uhura - didn't click with me as being 'in character' for Spock.

[D Mac]

Did anyone stay after the credits? Was there anything after them?

[Theo Dious]

Yeah, William Shatner comes on and sings a song. ................................................ :shifty:

[KYR]

Saw it last night, really good movie. But one problem. Tyler Perry? Is that really necessary?

[The Destroyer]

Fantastic movie. Great casting and beautiful visually - nicely done reboot to basically allow them to do whatever they like in future films.

Wonderful how they still managed to get some product placement into it despite being set in the 23rd Century though. :-\

[RoXer]

Ahahah :'(

I think Ilike DMac's reply more than the video itself

[D Mac]

Well they are. Bashing a reboot because it has a lot of action and young people. Come on.

[YOUR Hero]

Saw this a few days ago now. 'twas great. Personally I loved the Beastie Boys thing as well asd the swollen hands thing. If you sayyou didn't, you're just being overly critical for the sake of being critical.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Karl Urban was the fookin' chief as Bones.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I think they could possible base a new series on the events that happen to Romulus, in the movie, and its effects on the alpha quadrant. [/geek]

[Jeritron]

Not really. I loved the movie. Is it possible to disagree?

[Adder]

Was a really good show. Loved the relaunch.

[D Mac]

I assume Klingons will be in the next one.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Damn it, Jim!

[Jeritron]

I assume Klingons will be in the next one.

I think that's a pretty safe bet. JJ Abrams can continue to do some really awesome stuff that hasn't been done yet, like ground battles.

[LoDownM]

They did alot of ground fights in DS9. Nothing epic sized or anything like that, but there was a few.

[ct2k]

Fantastic movie. Great casting and beautiful visually - nicely done reboot to basically allow them to do whatever they like in future films.



Fucking A

I marked out so many times just tonight watching it. Like when Sulu mentioned he'd done fencing I immediately remembered the Naked Time episode where he was galavanting around the ship and pricked his finger on the sword:'(

Anyway yeah, awesome stuff, I'll probably see it again with the family on wednesday:wave:

shhhhhhh

[D Mac]

A fake reaction to a fake story. :D

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I know nothing about Star Trek other than it's reference in pop culture, but I went to see this anyway because the trailers all look great. I thought the movie was excellent. Great writing and great casting. I thought Chris Pine was your typical meat head pretty boy actor but I was pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong.

Did anyone else find the added light glare to be a bit over the top? It was a neat effect and made the film seem less green screeny but I think they went too far with it.

[Downunder]

I just saw it - bloody loved it

I don't know who most of the actors were but I thought the casting was spot on. The bloke who played Dr McCoy nailed it - although I thought Checkov was a bit over the top.

Still a great bloody movie.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

It's so refreshing to have a group of people that actually know what goes into making a good action movie and not just blowing stuff up Michael Bay style. There actually has to be good writing.

"You know, traveling through time, changing history... that's cheating." That's brilliant.

[Jon Kano]

I just saw it - bloody loved it

I don't know who most of the actors were but I thought the casting was spot on. The bloke who played Dr McCoy nailed it - although I thought Checkov was a bit over the top.

Still a great bloody movie.

I don't know of the McCoy from the other films or series, but I would have to say I enjoyed his scenes the most, apart from the big action scenes.

He's Karl Urban aka Eomer in LOTR, the horseman who is banished from Rohan.

[ct2k]

Yeah I just noticed the other day that he was in LOTR, knew I'd recognised him from somewhere.

Also if you watch the original Trek series and the 4th movie in particular you'll realise Chekhov actually really wasn't overdone

NUCLEAR WESSELS

[Downunder]

"Are you out of your Vulcan mind" just floored me.

Some seriously funny dialogue if you have seen the original series

[Jon Kano]

My father told me he was funny in the series too.

I also loved the 'test' scene, where Kirk was just eating the apple and not giving a shit.

[ct2k]

Yeah that was one of the biggest nods to the original film series for sure, I think they way they've done the reboot whilst preserving what went before was really well done. Woulda been very easy for Abrams to simply say 'fuck it' and just start from scratch with no attempt at making the new film compatible with what went before.

So was it 26 Klingon vessels that were destroyed? And why? Perhaps that would be discussed in the 2nd film. It just seems like a random point at this stage.

It related to a deleted scene (or scenes) involving Nero escaping from a Klingon prison planet (where he seemingly ended up after destroying the USS Kelvin) - bit confusing that it was left in really.

Yeah, after the battle with the Kelvin some Klingons apparently captured the Narada and sent Nero to Rura Penthe. And eventually Nero's crew regained control of the Narada, got Nero back, and fucked up the Klingons in the process. That was apparently the reason for their hiatus for like 25 years.

[Tb1]

Remember "The Wait is Over" from the trailer? = Rura Penthe.

[Jeritron]

Was it filmed, or scrapped before filming?

[The Destroyer]

Fairly sure it was filmed, so it'll probably turn up on the DVD.

[Jeritron]

Does it show Klingons? Wouldn't be suprised if they scrapped it from the dvd as well.

I think this because it's fairly obvious they are going to use them for the second movie, and perhaps the original thinking behind scrapping it was to conserve them for a second installment draw.
Also, if that wasnt' the thinking it may now be decided. Really there's no point in putting that on the dvd if they want to save, or even improve upon, their klingon design for the second movie.

It's not like the scene won't see the light of day. There will be multiple dvd releases and they know that. Studios tend to save things like that for future special editions rather than first releases, since the sales will probably be just as high either way.

It was cut due to confusing people in early test screenings, apparently.

Suppose it's likely they'd want to bring the Klingons back properly though.

R2D2 is in Star Trek....

Apparently taken from mtv.com

There’s really not much more to tell you. The rules are pretty simple. Locate R2, write down where you saw him in an e-mail, and shoot it off to facebook@paramount.com with “STAR TREK Easter Egg Sweepstakes” in the subject line. I couldn’t care less about winning the prop, but it would warm this “Star Wars” geek’s heart to see the plucky little droid pop up in a “Star Trek” movie. Maybe J.J. will figure out a way to kill off Jar Jar for his second “Trek” go-round.

No word on the yet of any location of him yet. Im curious for this contest to be done with so I can see a photo of where he is...

[Jeritron]

It's cool, but I don't think that's really anything new.

The Starship Enterprise is in Episode I

The pod ship from 2001: A Space Odyssey is in Episode I
The Millenium Falcon is in Blade Runner
The Blade Runner ships are in Episode I

E.T. is in there somewhere too. In the senate

[Jeritron]

Theres more cool "easter eggs" like this I'm forgetting

[Ogen]

The Millenium Falcon is "supposedly" fighting the Borg Cube in First Contact.

Better shot

The DVD rip is on the net. Downloading now.

[KYR]

It's been out for a couple of weeks now.

Make sure you read the torrent comments - there's a couple of out-of-sync versions out there.

[Tb1]

Who's picking it up tonight? Can't wait for the 3 hours of bonus footage. :y:

That looks like the defiant to me, not the millenium falcon.

[Tb1]

It does for a moment, but if you look to your lower right you'll see the Defiant.

[XCaliber]

That looks like the defiant to me, not the millenium falcon.

If you guys are referring to the one inside the circle my guess would be that it is either a shuttlecraft of some sort or peharps an escape pod. The Defiant is the ship is in that shot on the right hand side almost right in front of it tilted on it's side.

Who's picking it up tonight? Can't wait for the 3 hours of bonus footage. :y:

Not sure if i'll be picking this up on BR tomorrow or if I'm gonna hold off and hope I get it for Christmas.

[D Mac]

Yeah getting this for Christmas on Blu Ray.

[Kane Knight]

Got it from Amazon today. :y: Fuck Christmas.
