Wow, really liked, the plot I thought was ok to good. I had so much fun watching the characters interact. I guess I forgot how much fun it was to watch them together. I know it's not the original, but for me it had the spirt of the original right on, and for that I really really enjoyed it.

The preview lends itself to think it might be a bit "darker" but I was fine with the way it played out.

I laughed myself into a coughing for the whole part of "Bones" getting Kirk on board the Enterprise. The numb tongue thing was just too good. It was funny without being stupid.

They make another one with these actors, it will easily get my money.

Will see again in Imax...

Went last night to a first run theater in Westwood, near UCLA. Saw it with my college age daughter and a very enthusiastic audience. What a hoot. Great fun movie. They stayed very true to the original theme, time line and characters while injecting lots of new life into it. Very well done.

Now that they have a new cast for the original crew, they can resurrect the whole series and really live long and prosper.

So how was the Shaun of the Dead guy as Scotty????

I'm not familure with the actor, but the character blended seamlessly. He played it kind of like a comic streight man.

The interactions between him in Kirk in crisis mode were like flashbacks to the original series except Shaun of the Dead guy was a lot more excitable.

Took Mom to see it today...

More comedic parts than I thought there would be, and a lot of "feel-good" interaction and dialog. But the non-stop action made it fully worthwhile.

That's exactly what I was thinking after seeing the movie today.

Agree with the previous posts. Great character interaction and very well done overall.

Not sure that I would have gone down that same road in terms of the story line and it's impact on Trek history, but I really enjoyed the movie.

I had reservations about Simon Pegg but none after seeing the film....twice now.

It was a hoot.

I saw this movie recently. Liked it. Better then some of their older films. Can't wait till it comes out in Blu Ray.

With this "reboot" of history, maybe this will do away with the one-piece jump suits in season one of ST TNG.

Please forgive my ramblings. I am drinking one stiff gin and tonic...

No, that was cogently stated.

Gheyness of those outfits only exceeded by the ones in the first movie -

I had a great time watching it last night...somehow it had the flavor of Alias and LOST, can't imagine why

I just got back from seeing it,

Excellent, probably the best of all the Trek movies.

I really thought it captured the spirit of the Classic series and the performances were excellent all around.

Trivia: Chris Pine who plays Kirk is the son of Robert Pine who was Sgt. Getraer on CHiPs!

Just came back from seeing this movie and I thought it was GREAT! If you're a fan of classic Star Trek then I suggest you see this. It was great seeing the interactions of the characters again. I'm sure there will be a few more movies as this is an alternate timeline or is it?!! That stuff drives you mad when you try to understand it.
