On a somewhat related note, I went to the Star Trek Experience when I was in Vegas this past weekend. It was pretty fun. They had a lot of props from the old shows, and the simulators were pretty well done.

I think Damon is a good actor and so I'd give him a chance as Kirk, though I have trouble picturing it working well.

Do you piss off all the Hardcore Trek fans and recast the role of "Q", John Delance, or do you just ignore the fact the he is now to old for the role and piss off the othe half of the Trek fans. Those treks fans are just never happy. First they want you to be true to the Science behind their characters, and then they demand that you not recast any of these characters. Sorry people, you can not have it both ways. |

I think with some makeup and a personal trainer, Delancey would be fine. In fact, I don't think another actor could play Q with the same success that he has had.

Isn't Q like really, really old anyway? Would it matter if he looked the same age a couple of hundred years apart?

Well, he's immortal and omnipotent, plus he's merely taking human form, so the theory is he would always choose the exact same appearance.

Unfortunately, no. I saw it, but didn't have the time to get one. Not to mention, the national Star Trek convention was there this weekend as well, so the line to that place was crazy. |

Yup. Although, he could "age" himself just for kicks, like he did in the series finale. And let's not forget that Data evidently has the option to make himself appear older, as was also seen in the serires finale (his streak of gray hair). So there's some precedent if he wishes to participate in the human experience of aging along with his friends. |

Script has been completed. I have grave doubts about the project when JJ Abrams states "I would actually prefer [that] people don't know the series, because I feel like they will come to it with an open mind."
In other words? This is not a movie for people who like Star Trek. |

With the current Hollywood trend of going back to the beginning and reinventing popular series (Batman, Superman, Bond), this isn't terribly surprising. I'm not overly happy with this news, but they might be able to pull it off. |

I agree an origin story isn't surprising, but I don't think JJ Abrams is the one who is going to do it right.

I own all the movies, and the entire Voyager series (which I've watched twice). I could never get into TNG; Picard was just too much of a pussy to be believable as a starship captain.
Good to see the franchise isn't dead yet... Last edited by Karim : 01-12-2007 at 03:37 PM. |

It would be awesome if Spock and Kirk met on a plane that crashed on a remote island.

So the cast is just about set with Chris Pine (who the fuck is he?) and the rest of the key roles set. I think the cast so far selected was great but this kid Chris Pine I don't know.

I always kindof liked DS9 but never really was much of a Trekkie otherwise (tho I'm enjoying watching TOS in syndication over the past year). I just can't believe someone who liked TOS and Voyager- seems like such an odd mix. I've seen a lot of TNG + Voyager fans but not TOS + Voyager. SI

I actually enjoyed the last series Enterprise with the Quantum Leap guy who's name eludes me right at the moment. I thought especially the first two seasons were pretty good but really had acrappy ending season where everyhting got crammed in the last couple of episodes.

Didn't like the concept of Voyager, but Mulgrew as Janeway was more "Kirk-like" than the others, never afraid of a fight. Brooks might have made the grade but to be honest he gets lost in the ensemble and is really more of a 'part-player', at least in the beginning years. TOS will always stand alone as best, however, probably why they are going back to it for the movie. |

i thought about going last night, but there was just a 7pm show and then a later show and i didn't want to have to rush to the 7pm and be out as late as the later, so i'm going tonight now that it's officially open and there's more shows.
already bought my tickets for the 7:45 show!

Oh and voyager was by far the worst Star Trek Creation.
TOS is of course the classic show then Ds9 is the best modernization of the series. Enterprise was awful with the exception of the scenes that had the vulcan chick in them. |

I saw the movie last night and I am still forming an opinion. I will probably see it again this weekend.
Overall, I thought the movie was very well done. If I had walked in without ever seeing anything Star Trek, I would have enjoyed it. (I have been a Star Trek fan since the mid 1980's). The recasting of the major players I think was very well done. Bones and Spock were excellent. Checkov and Scotty were a little over the top, but weren't show stoppers. I really don't want to give anything away here, since I know alot of you will be seeing the movie this weekend. I will just say that if you are a Star Trek fan, there will be several scenes that make you go "wtf". Minor Spoiler:

Just got back from seeing it.
Best Star Trek movie in my opinion. Can't wait to see a sequel and I'm a huge Star Wars fan. My only complaint was Checkov. The actor playing him, just didn't seem right, even though he had the accent down pretty good. Uhura is smoking hot in my opinion. The guy playing Spock, nailed it. I'd like to say more about the crew, but, I think it would be too spoilerish. Leonard Nimoy looks like my grandfather now. Different hair cut and different ears though, but, my grandfather was a Navy man like Spock. I would pay to see this movie again. Oh and this movie is essentially a reboot of the franchise, so keep that in mind...

Saw it last night on IMAX, fantastic. Anyone who has a chance to see it on IMAX should do so. Its not traditional Star Trek. But then again, the best Star trek movies generally aren't traditional "Star Trek."
What this movie IS is the best Space Opera movie ever. Good drama, GREAT action, and all the little things (set pieces, special effects) are done with reason. This isn't sterile sets and environments like old Star Trek, the engine rooms of these ships are actual industrial engine rooms, full of cooling pipes and metal bulkheads. All in all, it isn't deep (hopefully the future movies will have more substance) but is one of the top Sci Fi spectacles of all time. Last edited by Tigercat : 05-08-2009 at 05:27 PM. |

I was expecting this to be really really good because of JJ Abrams, and even better based on the reviews coming out of the sneak preview in Texas a month ago, but seeing the movie actually blew that all away. Superb from beginning to end. 10/10
