a very fun movie to watch. not your typical star trek movie. this star trek movie = beautiful people in uniform. Since when we ever get female officers in miniskirt in Star Trek - all of them wore long pants. Well not this one and oh there is a sex scene too

Not much people like to discuss this movie, the dragon ball thread got more discussion lol. Means Dragon ball is better than this? haha..

good news spread slow, bad news spread fast.

which spread faster?
ur son getting 5A in UPSR or a pregnant daughteR?

Because there is nothing much to discuss in this movie.....

Just bang bang bang bom bom bom thats all....not thrilled at all compare with the older once.

They mentioned Slusho in the bar scene, and the monster in the Delta Vega system looks exactly like the Cloverfield monster.

Wadafak?

Anyways, i really like the movie.
I just find the "glittery lens flare" effect in the enterprise abit distracting and nauseating.

I've put up mini-reviews of the old Trek movies in my blog. If you're interested in exploring the history of Star Trek, hope my reviews can help.

Part 1, first 5 movies are up. Part 2 will be up by tomorrow.

Well it has been done before in Star Trek 2: THe Wrath of Khan

Added on May 14, 2009, 8:27 pmThings I like:

-this movie has definitely brought back the Star Trek franchise from obscurity. this will spur a new generation of fans
-the actors and production crew really did their homework. kudos to that.
-non fans will like it because its a nice , cozy intro
-very gung ho, way more exaggerated than the original version actually


Now as a Trekkie, things I don't like (warning geeeky comments)
-villain was obviously useless, not even worth mentioning
-Leonard Nimoy (old spock) 's lines suck big time, he sounded more like a senile human old man than vulcan
-2 hours too short
-no time to see character development and chemistry between the actors. One thing that made Will Shatner and gang popular was the chemistry between kirk, spock, and bones. hopefully in future instalments we'll see a different yet cool take on it
-lack of positive theme (i.e. peace, human unity, anti-racism) but this would have bore most people anyway, instead we get young kirk and jing gang story

Added on May 14, 2009, 8:35 pmYou're a true Trekkie. I know how you feel but if it's giving Star Trek a reboot then its defnitely worth it. But remember TOS was never science-techno-centric. It was the TNG series and beyond that gave birth to that

I dont know anything about star trek. i went and watch the movie because of zachary quinto, Simon pegg, and John Cho ....

and all i can say is ....

IT IS AWESOME !!! don't care about others it is really really good .. as good and the dark knight .. just that this is more to action .. haha

I like how they make this movie that actually targeted to every general audience as well.

I am not a star Trek fans..In fact, I know nothing about Star Trek except their famous StarFleet look like.

I really enjoyed this movie a lot. The effect and the action quite well-done in my opinion and there are few dialog were quite funny. The soundtrack were quite amazing.

2 Hour length is alright..Not too long and not too short.

Definitely recommended for everyone and you can watch with your family as well.

so basically he is stuck there ? wah

I heard somebody said the uncut BD version is 3 hours duration..

Anyone didn't come out of the movie not wanting to be on a spaceship?
I think JJ Ab just came out with the right mix of drama, adventure and sci-fi compared to the previous few StarTrek movies. Beats StarWars 1 - 2 - 3 hands down.

Was anyone impressed how much Kurk was beaten up and yet survived? Well I would imagine more futuristic weapons instead of fist and knuckle fights.

Beam ME up Scotty

9.0 out of 10.0 from me

Yup, that's what it looks like for now...

Was never a Star Trek fan. Always changed channels everytime it was on TV (don't shoot me).

But after watching the movie with no expectations and all, I'd say I'm a fan now.

Visuals and imagery aside, characters and storyline are all well developed. Love the chemistry between the crew - Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Sulu, Bones, Scott. All a very nice blend.

Space... the Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before.

Just before the ending credits, who said that..? Picard or Nimoy ..?

wait! those wasnt shown on local TV

just watched the movie today.. was totally unexpected.. totally BLOWN AWAY.. recommended to watch..

Nimoy
