Best Star Trek Movie EVER!!!!

[nfpgasmask]

So, I finally got around to it last night. I'm glad I waited. The theater was barely a 1/4 full and everyone was quiet and considerate of the other movie goers. Thus, reminding me of why I wait a couple weeks to see movies in the theater and why I go on off days or in the mornings on weekends.

Now, as I said before, I am in no way a big Star Trek fan. But this movie was a joy to watch! Excellent story, great script, spot-on acting, superb character development, awesome F/X, big . It's such a shame the new Star Wars films were not this good.

Soon I will subject myself to the GIANT let-down that I am sure T4 will prove to be.

Glad you liked it! Yeah T4 might be a bit of a disappointment. Zeus and I went with some friends to the midnight show last week. It wasn’t bad but it definitely wasn’t as good as T2 ether.

T4 might be a bit of a disappointment.

THAT is an understatement.

Terminator Salvation was an atrocious cinematic disappointment.

Trek finnaly warped into my local theater.
Wow, it may just be the best film in the franchise yet!
In a really bad headspace right now with all the negative $h!t going on in my life, but I was almost able to forget about it for a few hours. That's saying ALOT!
Best,

I have a confession.... I am 50 years old and grew up with Star Trek BUT I have NEVER seen a single Star Trek episode or movie. NEVER! I may be the only one but have never seen Star Trek.
I'm just sayn

Now would be a great time. The film stands alone, with no prior knowledge.
Best,

I heard the movie was great. Think I'll break down and go see it. There goes my sprre of not watching Star Trek

Doesn't sound like you grew up with Star Trek. Sounds like you grew up without it.

[SomeBeach]

Hmmmmmmm....I guess you're right! It was all around me but I never watched it. I did get hit with a Vulcan death grip once (or something like that) I was so far removed from Star Trek that I thought Dr. Spock was a character.

Yeah, go with high hopes and low expectations and you may enjoy it - I, personally, liked T$, I mean T4, but it is in no way as good as the 1st 2!

Yeah, T3 pretty much sucked however I did like it due to the fact that it kept true to the original story line and I LOVED the ending. The new fangled TBeotch in T3 was stupid though and Arnie looked like the Geezernator not a Terminator...but I went with it. T1 is still my fav and T2 is one of the greatest action films of all time...

Well I’m heading out to see “Drag Me to Hell” in about 15 minutes. I’ve been waiting a long time for a good Sam Raimi film.

Definitely report back on that. While I thought the SpiderMan flicks were ok, he should definitely stick to horror.

Hail to King, Baby.

I've now seen ST 2x - even better the second time! I actually loved the new Terminator movie as well.

Thought Terminator movie was worth seeing. Definately better than T3.

I still remember when I saw the first Terminator for the first time...thought the movie was over after Kyle Reese shoved the dynamite into the tanker truck....ka-bluie...Kyle climbs out of fire-soaked dumpster & rushes to S-A-R-A-H Connnnner's aid...Au-nold leaps out of cab on fire...falls to ground...melting...(ready to get up & leave the theater when).....holy carp!!!!

[kodiak]

Good movie! It had almost no CG and It stayed true to the evil dead II style of film making. The only thing I didn’t like, NO BRUCE CAMPBELL CAMEO!!!

Definitely report back on that. While I thought the SpiderMan flicks were ok, he should definitely stick to horror.

Hail to King, Baby.
