just snippets of it..not the whole main theme played during the opening of the tv series
pity william shatner tho haha...his usual "space...the final frontier" speech kena curi by Nimoy ahahahhaa...
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

yea i thought that was the best characterization (is that the right word?) of the original cast. Spock comes second.
He mimicked Bones well, I would have prefered to see a different take on the character though. And I think Sylar and Spock is an awesome combination, no complaints about Quinto here.Added on May 14, 2009, 8:35 pm

i sighed a little when it ended. i like it BUT, huge but...
it felt like a michael bay movie to be honest. so action packed, so flashy with the crazy lens flare use and FX, so...mainstream. which isnt necessarily bad, just didnt feel like star trek. no prime directive(yes there was no prime directive at that time) but its like it has no direction! If this were a parallel universe... there might be a possibility that the prime directive might not even come to existent in this timeline
god that would suck so much.
it might be the end of the star trek we knew and love. bye bye sleek metal voyager, hello apple store voyager.
Chekov was so cute tho.
Other grips that may contain spoilers VVVVVV
You'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 thatit felt like a michael bay movie to be honest. so action packed, so flashy with the crazy lens flare use and FX, so...mainstream. which isnt necessarily bad, just didnt feel like star trek. no prime directive(yes there was no prime directive at that time) but its like it has no direction!
