'Watched The Movie "Star Trek" Last Night'...

Alright - Thanks Dain...

Now about the thousands of other 'alternate realities' (Mirror Universe, etc....) :kilroy:

I guess that means the "Enterprise" series is an alternate reality too...
 
He (Kirk) attempted to rescue his brother George on the Deneva colony when it was attacked by an alien species. And Kirk would later accept Mallory's son aboard his ship as a junior officer.

Sounds a little bit like ST TNG / Picard who had Wesley Crusher (and his mother) on the Enterprise, who was his best friends son and who also had been killed.

Some very interesting things in there I had never known about. Kind of makes me wish they hadnt changed it so much.

My thoughts are that they will find a way to save the Vulcan homeworld, repairing the past. Thats my hunch. I hope I am right. Would be great for a play on time travel and quantum physics..

Which goes back to a previous post of mine about "tech"....:bump:

'Captain, there is a theory that if we "tech" the past, then Vulcan will exist again...'

Boy I totally agree. I frankly don't understand why people like this movie, sorry. It's just pure garbage, in my own, personal, opinion.

i think that's why i was able to like it. i knew going in the trashed the history,
so i watched it not as a star trek film, but as an action/adventure movie. mindless entertainment. like i said, i didn't want to like it. that's because i knew they threw the story line out the window. at that point, for me, it wasn't star trek anymore. it was an adventure movie. i wouldn't have paid $$ to see it. if it wasn't free, i still wouldn't have seen it yet.
 
Just got the DVD yesterday and tried to watch it today. Had to stop it when company came and haven't had the chance to get it going again. What I have seen tho is awesome. Star Trek lives on...... :applause:

OT..... I also bought Angels and Demons. The book was very good, and I just hope the movie lives up to the book.
 
Fun movie, but horrible art direction. Brewery for Enterprise engine spaces!??! Enterprise not being built in orbit, as generally aknowledged?
Even the bridge looked like they filmed at the Vegas Trek Casino.:isadizzy:
Even the new BSG, with it's "Home Depot" look, was better.

You know, Tim, that's kinda what set me off watching it, I think. Engineering has been replaced by an Oil Refinery? Where does it fit! :icon_lol:
And that Romulan ship. The thing can drill to the core of the planet, but it has to dangle a 20 mile long cord to do it, and that particular part can be taken out with hand guns?

Oops, doing it again. Sorry to all about the earlier rant, it's so darn silly getting upset over a TV/Movie, but I needed to vent that it looks like. Still dislike the direction Star Trek has taken.

Of all things, I'm enjoying the TV series, "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" Season One on DVD. At least its in the spirit of the old movie serials, and really fits the 'things exploding' genre better. The Jedi battles are pretty sweet too. :icon_lol:

There are thousands of alternate realities in Star Trek. In the TNG episde "Parallels" the Enterprise-D encounters upwards of 285,000 alternate Enterprises near a "quantum fissure".

Even granting that explanation, that cannot account for the changes to young Kirk's past...

...although they couldn't have filmed that cool scene with the 'Vette going over the cliff had they kept the boy Kirk on Tarsus IV...

Kirk however was somewhat of a "rebellious youth" as has been mentioned from time to time in the original series. His plebe year at the Academy was punctuated by more than one fight, as I recall. :icon_lol:

sadly, lens flares and shakycam irritated me beyond belief.

No man, that was one of the best things about it. The lense flare was JJ shining a flash light into the camera, I must say it was quite clever. I can understand the shaky camera, but it wasn't as bad as Cloverfield, was it?
 
While I liked the movie...
The glaring 'anomoly' to was how Kirk could go from Cadet straight to O-6 (Captain) :isadizzy:

I thought that same thing, Panther. (Note here, that like most nerds, I'm not happy unless I have something to complain about.) The other things didn't particularly bother me. I posted why I believe they had to do something like they did with the timeline back in May when the movie came out, so I won't repeat myself.

I personally thought Kirk's being a troubled young man rang the most true of any of the changes; he didn't have his father, his mother was gone for long periods of time, and (you have to own the special edition to see this; in 'deleted scenes') was left in the care of an a**hole uncle. I'm still old-fashioned enough to believe that if a young boy doesn't have - not necessarily his father - but someone showing him how to be a man, he's in for trouble. My father didn't desert me, but he was gone for years at a time on military service, literally on the other side of the world, and I felt his absence acutely.

PS Sorry about the Bears this afternoon. The Bills won one, and I'm still feeling disoriented.
 
Just WHY was there a giant chasm in the Iowa farm country?!?
Really think there will be robot cops one day?
 
Just finished watching it. Nero and his fellow Romulans of the future sure loved tatoos. Basically a good Star Trek movie but things were just a bit too futuristic for a prequel to tie in with the original series.... IMO

It was good to see Nemoy as Spock. But also a real shame Shatner was missing. He must have really pi**ed someone off, and needs to get his ego in check.

All information about Nero's ship can be found in the pre-quels.....:engel016::kilroy:
 
I been watching Trek since TOS was Original.
I liked it better than the original ST movie -- which was bad.
But I regret they made him Capt. just out of the Academy --
that is too much of a stretch and aimed at the Starship Trooper set
(I actually liked it too).
 
well, at least Chris Pine doesn't overact so badly as certain egomaniac did..:icon_lol:
