saw it, liked it, loved the nuances and nods to the original. franchise was in dire need of a reboot and the movie delivered.

Even my girlfriend, who had managed to never see an episode of any of the Star Trek series, really enjoyed the movie. That alone told me how successful they had been in making a solid new start to the franchise.

I concur, it's worth going to an IMAX theater if you can.

I went to Jordan's Furniture IMAX. They have orthopedic seats with sub woofers. What that means is that when there's an explosion, your seat vibrates.

While I don't want to spoil anything, I will say it's an exceptional movie. Think of it as the Batman Returns of the Star Trek franchise.

I liked that episode of something I saw ages ago, where I can't remember what it was, but it had William Shatner in it playing himself at a Star Trek convention. People were asking him those kinds of questions and he said "IT'S A TV SHOW FOR GODS SAKE!".

Nerds can be so annoying sometimes when it comes to continuity.

Bah, your star wars universe has a guy who's job it is to keep cannon. He looks over everything star wars to make sure nothing contradicts itself.

Star Trek, on the other hand, is a clusterfuck. TNG alone had 155 writers of the course of its 198 episodes.

edit: That said, the new Star Trek did a damn good job keeping up with the major aspects and paying tribute to the old episodes, from kirk having sex with a green woman to the man in red being the first to die to common catchphrases.

So since nobody gives a shit anymore, is it cool if I ask what the deal really was with her? Was she really a porn star hiding out or whatever? I mean if so, using pics from a porn set wasn't really a great idea.

I dunno, it really doesn't matter, I was just curious.

Why couldn't they just make GI Joe a film with small squad combat in an urban setting against terrorists trying to blow something important up? Why do they got to go and add in SUPER SUITS and other bullshit.

Sure, it'd be a rip off of every other film like that that's come out since 9/11, but it wouldn't be an abortion that I don't even have any desire to see.(And I had every single issue of Marvel's GI Joe series before most of them got ruined when we moved from Chicago)

The only redeeming quality from the trailers is that Christopher Eccleston was awesome in Gone in 60 Seconds as the asshole British villain and he looks to be pretty awesome in GI Joe as the asshole Scottish villain.

Also I am severely dissapointed that Sgt. Slaughter doesn't have a cameo. I know he's old, but come on. He could be General Hawk's old retired war buddy or something.

Ah, but as this movie has space time continuum issues (starting with the day of Kirk's birth) all of the "canon" can be shot out the airlock.

I loved this movie, best of ALL the Star Trek movies out there IMO. I'd love a series to come out of it. I'm trying to find an excuse to make the 2 hour trip to Minneapolis to see this on the IMAX. The OmniMAX (domed IMAX screen) in Duluth isn't getting the movie.
