[rayheartbliss]

i dont like this!
but that looks interesting though

[MarkWaldorf]

I never watched the original series but for some reason I'm weirdly excited for it. It looks really good. Something you NEED to see in the cinema.

[Scarlett.]

Chris Pine has warned Star Trek fans that J.J. Abrams's forthcoming prequel will not please everyone.

The 28-year-old actor plays Captain Kirk in the big-budget sci-fi production, which marks the eleventh Star Trek movie to be released.

"I’m not well-versed in the Trek canon but we’re venturing into territory that’s only been covered in these paperback novels they sell," he told the Wall Street Journal. "It’s definitely not going to please everyone."

However, Pine revealed that he hopes Abrams's reimagining of the franchise will provide optimism for cinema-goers, despite the film's edgier take on the original characters.

"Unlike other genre movies, Star Trek has always represented an incredible amount of optimism. In the late ‘60s, in a time of unrest, it represented this Utopian world," he said. "As opposed to The Dark Knight, which I enjoyed, but was so bleak and didn’t speak kindly of humanity.

“Kirk is so iconic because he’s the head of this fantastical Utopian team. They aren’t superheroes, they’re men and women trying to achieve something good."

Sounds good :3

[MarkWaldorf]

I'm weirdly so excited. :lovedup: I can't wait to see it!!

[Annie]

I'm excited. I remember when I first seen the trailor in the cinema for it... I nearly died. The person I was with DID NOT GET IT!!! It was rather disappointing! haha

Simon Pegg looks to be really good as well. :blush2:

[Spike]

Can't wait to watch this now. The cast is great and with J J Abrams at the helm it should mean that it will be brilliant

[MarkWaldorf]

Everyone laughs at me when I mention seeing this film! :shocked: I've never even seen the TV show, so I'm not a Trekkie or anything. How can people think that this doesn't look fantastic?

[ange7]

Eric Bana is in this too....he might be a bad guy :P

Saw it last night. It was Amaaaaaaaazing !!!!
I deffinatley recomend it to everyone !

[MrGaryy]

I'm scared. I actually really want to see this even tho I usually hate sci-fi.

You'l love it because theyve changed it alot. The film combines the future with the present to make a realistic distant future, unlike the other films which were set in the FAR future. Its almost as if they have sort of knocked 200 years off of the setting.
Its good because it has lots of humor and banter, but also alot of action and ALOOOOT of effects.

I would describe it as more 'Marvel-y' and more broad in terms of the audience. It has deffinatley 100% changed for the better !

ARGH MR.K! I HATE CHU!!

We all do, hon. Some say it's his BO, some say it's the way he spits when he talks. But I think it's just his general demeanour.

[MrGaryy]

ugh I have a feeling I'll be doing some serious BEGGING to make one of my friends go to see this with me. I guess I could go on my own. in the late night showing.

[MarkWaldorf]

I have to see it next weekend now D:

[MrGaryy]

this is a definite downside to only having female/gay friends.

[Shaun]

Was pretty ****ing epic. I gave it a 9/10 on IMDb.

[melanie]

This is really good. Chris Pine is hot.

[Glenn.]

I see it tonight and it was ****ing brilliant. The effects were outstanding and Chris Pine:lovedup:

[MarkWaldorf]

IT WAS SO AMAZING
I thought the Chekov character was so cute hahah

Agreed <3

[MiuMiu]

I seen this movie 3 times in the cinema.
It was apsolutely brilliant.
Best summer blockbuster of the last decade perhaps.
:thumbs:

I'm a bit of a Trekker and although I enjoyed the film, I wouldn't be going be too mad about it in certain areas, particularly in the final act where it loses it's way a bit. I can

understand the motivation behind giving it a more Star Warsy type feel(broadening it's appeal I suppose), and I'm willing to accept this on their first mission,but I would hope

as they mature into their characters so too will the scripts and they'll reintroduce the loftier issues that Star Trek has always been willing to explore. No harm in attracting

more costumers, but please don't do it at the expense of Roddenberry's vision. Anyway, rant over. lol The first hour was absolutely spectacular though.

Your'e right, it certainly wasn't perfect.
I didn't like the Uhura and Spoke relationship one bit or the underuse of Wynona Ryder, but I think it excelled at what it was; a fun summer popcorn flick.

But, as a Trekkie myself, I do hope that the next films have more of a star trek feel to them.
Perhaps they can do a remake of the one where they saved the whales!
That'd be so fun!
:thumbs2:

[Scarlett.]

I loved it (just got the DVDVDVDVD) it was EPIC, this film beats all of the old Star Trek franchise, Kirk was actually likeable! I love how it connected to the other films though, but at the same time acted as a reboot, I lol'd when the Nokia tune went off, it was like...WTF...this is Star Trek....and thats Nokia! xD I cant wait until the sequel

[BB_Eye]

I only saw this yesterday, but was absolutely gobsmacked at how they managed to put two things I had (at best) lukewarm feelings about (the ailing Star Trek franchise and the "talent" of Mission Impossible III director J.J. Abrams) together and came up with the most fantastically entertaining sci-fi film I've seen in years.

Also I disagree with the comparisons people have made to Star Wars. The new Star Trek movie had something Star Wars never had. Nuanced storytelling and compelling characters. Who would have thought?
