Some have seen the movie already, something called pre-screening. They say it's better than some TNG era movies, namely Nemesis ...

That's not saying much: TNG movies were nothing more than two-part TNG TV episodes, but you didn't have to wait 'til next week to watch the ending.

At least this latest movie banned Shatner from the set; that has to be a good omen.

its encouraging that all the reviews so far have been very positive. Of course critics can be wrong. Wolverine has gotten very mixed reviews but has done well so far at the box office. I'm looking forward to seeing both after the crowds have died down somewhat. Not all the TNG movies were bad, anymore than the TOS ones. First Contact was good......i was amused at Picard's transformation into Kirk Mk II. [:D]

You may remember the episode of Star Trek,; the Next generation in which "Q' first appeared. In a the uniform of a U.S. Marine lieutenant colonel ...

The "costume" that we of the 23rd century no longer wear, re Capt Picard, but the NG dress uniform actually looked like a dress.

The first season of this show was so unbearable that "Mad Magazine" spoofed it as "Star Trek: The Next Cancellation".

Crosby was fortunate when her character was quickly killed-off, only to come back as a blonde Romulan after the show got it's "sea legs".

I'm always a bit dubious about using the box office as a guide to good or bad. I mean, alot of people will go and see Star Trek on release week...doesn't mean it's any good and yet it "done well at the box office". What would help to use it as a guage is seeing if the figures continue to stay high...but then again, people will probably go and see it even if a friend tells them it's rubbish because they want to see for themselves.

No...there's only really one critic, and that's yourself. I've missed too many films in cinemas because of bad critic reviews or friends telling me something was bad, only to rent it on DVD and wish I had gone to see it.

I fully agree with you. I went to see Watchmen based on reviews by movie critics, it turned out to be one of the worst films I ever saw!

The world premiere was about a month ago at the Sydney Opera House.

That night I saw the crowd streaming towards the Opera Hosue from my office window[:)]

Just saw Wolverine. It wasn't as bad as the critics hinted but it did get a little slow in places. All and all though, we enjoyed it and GF unit got to see Hugh Jackman's bionic abs on the big screen. I see boFlex sessions in my future. [:D]

I already booked tickets for friday night (looks like premiere is sooner than US due to the timezones)
Yey!

[decaro]

Well, I've just seen the movie, and Shatner must be green w/envy over Nimoy's minor role.

Details upon request, lest I spoil it for anyone.

Just came back.
My 13yo son was sitting for the half of the movie with his mouth wide open.


Me to!!!!


For me it's one of the MUST SEEN!

I am not ashamed to admit that I've been a Trekker (NOT Trekkie) since the original series. It's cool to see the characters (in their younger days) coming back to the big screen. However, I'll wait for the DVD.

I saw it last night and I agree it was rather good. Some strange things for sure, but I thought it was entertaining.

[Tophat1815]

 Didn't think I'd like it and ended up loving this movie. The cast choices were spot on,story made sense and there was no everything is all peachy happy ending. Go see the damn movie,then go back and see it after a few days.

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

No, but I have seen Captain Jean-Luc Picard naked, does that count?

Considering he fights like a girl, it's about the same thing:

I'm pretty excited to go see this movie. The trailer has hyped it up and probably for good reason. My parents told me they loved it so I'll be seeing it tomorrow and let you know what I think, with spoiler warnings of course

Just saw the film, the best Star trek since Star Trek VI "The Undiscovered Country". I liked Simon Pegg portrayal of Scottie.

I just got home from seeing it and I thought it was really good. Definitely moves at a whole different speed than any previous Star Trek. I thought the new actors did a good job maintaining the characters with out trying to imitate the original actors. My wife, who fell asleep during Star Wars Phantom Menace (lucky her) even thought it was a good movie.
