New Star Trek movie

[JudgeDredd]

I'm slightly ashamed to say I'm a bit of a Trekkie. Was brought up with it in my youth. I don't dress up or anything. My dad loved the series and we always watched it as a family. He even made the Starship Enterprise out of cardboard and papiermache (spelling?). I don't know where he got them, some fan book or something, but he had the blueprints and made a scaled replica. It was very, very good and measurments were exectly to scale.

Anyway...the film...has it been released in the US yet? Anyone seen it?

I was stoked about a new Star Trek movie, but I have to say, after seeing the trailers, it looks like a couple of chavs thrown together on a spaceship...seems to me they would've been better being given and Escort RS Turbo and a hoodie!

Be interested to hear from anyone who has seen it

My wife is a massive Trekkie, she wants to see the movie. I wish I could have given you the info you wanted JD.

Regards,

I'm not ashamed to say I'm an original airing Trekkie (my wife and I even went to the big Las Vegas Star Trek convention last summer ... our first in about 20 years, so it's not as bad as it sounds for me *grin*)... my grand daughter saw a trailer for the movie and exclaimed "you're going to hate it! This movie is for me!"

And as to your original question, it doesn't open locally until the 7th of May.

[JudgeDredd]

OIC. Thx. I thought it would be released earlier in the US...released here on 8th May

I've been a Sci-Fi fan since I was a very little kid....hence my avatar, Commando Cody. Not ashamed to say I've always liked Star Trek and am looking forward to this movie. Had some doubts about it when I first heard about it but the trailers and reviews seem to suggest that it's a pretty good movie. Apparently it's about a young James T. Kirk who has no direction in life and finds his way in Star Fleet...at least that's what I've heard. One of the few movies I might even go to a theater to see.

The trailer looks fantastic. I can't wait to see it. [:D]

[doomtrader]

I'm going to book the tickets as soon as possible.

[Barthheart]

Big Trekker here too... have been for years.

I saw the a trailer on the web a couple of days ago and I have mixed feelings about it. It will definately NOT be of the same style of all the rest.... good or bad... who knows, but I'm a little worried that it will be all flash and no substance.

Will probably see it at the theatre though... can't not see a new Trek movie at the theatre....

[hadberz]

I'll be seeing it. I'm a fan of all things Star Trek, hell I even liked the cartoon. I agree it's aimed at young people, which is a good thing. Maybe the movie will spawn a new series. [:)]

Are you suggesting that we should not be friendly with the Troglites?

No, that's Heinlein (bugs & power suits). In Star Trek, they pretend they want to be friends before kicking ass (or more often, "tricking" ass) and then all become friends (or die).

If you want xenophile propaganda, read the thread about spam bots. Spam bots just want to be friends, but they're shunned by all at Matrix. Xenophobic company and customers!

JD,

It's coming out this week. I believe it starts Thursday night at some theaters, and all over come Friday.

I've been watching season 1 on Blu-ray this weekend and it is FANTASTIC.

[Arctic Blast]

I'm definitely planning on seeing this one. Might avoid opening weekend and go sometime during the week, though.

None of you have ever seen a naked girl, right?

Doggie, you're confusing Star Trek fans w/Star Wars fans.

I'm a "Trekie" from the original NBC series who also watched the original Outer Limits before it got PC'd in Toronto.

BTW, there was an interesting article re all the (major) Star Trek series villians in my local Sunday magazine.

But hopefully this Trek pre-quel is better than those on-line fan films: special effects, some original series guest spots, but no acting!

That's just silly. My mommy had a Sears catalog! (and you should have seen the size of the one girl's lungs... I bet she could hold her breath a LONG time!)

Naw, those fans didn't rate a skit specifically about them on Saturday Night Live.

Hopefully (a remote possibility), the movie is more faithful to the original than the last series was. Everything that has slipped through my hands-on-ears-while-doing-the nah-nah-nah-recitation, has indicated otherwise.

And those free fan films are fun for the most part (but you still have to pay for acting). Okay, the one with 7 "seasons" was too painful to watch more than 2 "episodes."
