Astounding. It was 40 yrs ago this year that TOS went down in flames, a victim of high production costs & low ratings (But they were NEVER very good to begin with). Who'd a-thunk that a basically failed sci-fi TV series would go on to become a worldwide cultural phenomenen ?

Well...it would appear that I am in the minority....(j/k) this movie was excellent! Character interaction was great, intro scene with car was fantastic (Kirk's attitude)...even the tension between characters was great. This is definitely a buy when it comes to blueray.

My favorite line:

The orginal Star Trek was before my time but I really enjoyed the movie. IF they make another I will for sure go to see it.

As for failed sci-fi TV series, you need to look at "Lost in Space". If you look up "failure" in the dictionary, there is a reference to that show.

Well, I guess there always has to be one.....
I liked it, but I didn't love it. Just didn't really feel true to the original characters to me. Saw it in Imax on opening night too.

I saw this new Star Trek last Friday. On a scale of one to ten, with ten being highest, I would rate it a solid 5.013. It was an OK summer movie to me.

Jeez you guys are tough. I loved it, and after seeing T4 last night I loved it even more. My god was T4 bad. The worst sequel of any genre since Blues Brothers 2000.

Saw it on the Friday of opening weekend, went with my oldest son Brett, both of us in Starfleet uniform, natch!
Wife and Brett's fiance and Lessa went too. Although Lessa didn't like the loud soundtrack/FX, we all enjoyed the movie immensely. I thought there was plenty of new story to create these familar characters while giving us enough nods to original timeline to satisfy most hardcore Trekkers. As for the deviations into an alternate timeline, I can work with it. After all, if you read any ST books, comics, or audio stories, they take our familiar friends into different places and realities. What has always attracted me to Star Trek is the characters, their lives, the feeling of family and making them so interesting that I crave to be around them, to see what happens to them, and how they make the future something to hope for. That Star Trek has always tackled difficult social subjects in allegory and science is icing to me. For me, all the series except Enterprise (which I didn't get to watch much of) are very good for their time and production values/budget. Sure, there are clinker episodes in all of them, but I usually learn something new about my ST friends each time I see them. Sort of like coming here to AK and reading about what each of you thinks about so many different things.
