New Star Trek Movie : Reviews have been thumbs up thus far

[2PLAYSMAX]

I hear it is solid from beginning to end.

The consistent negative that most have brought up is the "relationship" of Spock and Ahura.

Haven't seen it yet, but it's on the list.

Any opinions of movie goers yet???

So is this one based on how it all began?

 

[bucsfan67]

all previews i have seen look good......characters look ALOT like the younger originals.....could be a good one

Yes.

That was an angle the original writers wanted to work in back in 1966. But the egocentric William Shatner used his popularity muscle at the time to get them to write a script that led to the first interracial kiss on television between him and Nichelle Nichols

saw it and I want to see it again monday... it was AWESOME.. young spock is a great actor

i've never been a fan of Star Trek but I do want to see this. The commercials look great and they made it for non-fans of the series. Think it will be great.

It was a good movie, I didn't think it was great but very good. Definitely more geared towards the non star trek fan but had enough in there to appease the hardcore fans. All in all I would recommend it. I liked the Spock Uhura angle myself.

in the old 70's Uhura and spock kissed before maybe they had a love affair back in the day

I feel like I have already seen it from all the previews. When watching television I have to change the channel when a preview comes on.

Great movie. Definatly better than the one where they save the whales lol.

I saw StarTrek last Thursday in the IMAX theater.


It is a solid 7/10. Why not a 10?

1) The story is weak. After 45 minutes the plot and writing jumps the shark.

2) Kirk is now a loose cannon who somehow gets the job done and Spock is now the main character. I found the Kirk actor/character weak but the Spock actor/character is really good. Other characters....


Sulu: passable Scotty: fail

Uhura: solid Checkov: fail

Bones: passable Scotty's alien friend: WTF?

3) Every thing about Kirk in this movie is unbelievably stupid. The reboot on his character plus the choice of actor to play him is all wrong IMO.

I did hear they have his character hanging on for life about 4-5 times.

Hey now, that was a good movie....Star Trek IV....it was one where NON FANS of Star Trek could enjoy as well..had alot of humor and a good story....probably wasnt as good for serious fans, but it was entertaining movie

 

[bucsfan67]

on a side note, to me this is by far the best scene of any star trek movie...wish it showed a little more, but this is awesome...

also consider Star Trek II, the best movie of the series, by far..
