The soundtrack is horrible.

It is a shame that they didn't use two steps from hell who did the trailer music.

GREAT MOVIE!!!

Just saw it today at the Carmike Wynnsong 16 in Knoxville, 410 show. Theater wasn't even half full, which was great because there wasn't a lot of dopey teenage nerds in there criticizing the "alternate reality" this movie presents.

Great movie had been looking forward to it for the better part of two (2) years.As stated by OE high expectations were surpassed.

It was good to see Leonard Nimoy as Spock again.


Best Movie Moment:

Kirk offers Nero assistance.Spock Asks what are you doing.Kirk says using logic,I thought you would like that.Spock says no, this time not so much.I about fell out of my set.


Well. I am out the door to go see it again.:rock2:

Wow. I really didn't like it that much. The plot line doesn't even make much sense, from a time line perspective. Things were changed so much, there is no way that history could lead up to the time travel event and close the loop. The time line would correct itself instantaneously.

Also, way too many slapstick humor moments for a star trek film. The swollen hands thing? C'mon.

Initially that was bothersome because I thought that having Romulus and Vulcan destroyed would somehow correct itself.

To my surprise both planets are or will be gone and that tragedy is something that Star Trek has never had.

Who honestly thought Vulcan was going to stay gone and that Spock's mother was going to be always gone?

Also, the time line is great because it erases that tv shows and the movies!

Great way to restart every thing!

The slapstick parts were beautiful! The homage of Kirk eating the apple is directly from Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan and the entire swolen hands was great because it just adds to the story between Kirk and McCoy.

Time line corruption is kind of the point of this movie.It allows for new adventures with the original series.

With the latest theories mixed with quantum theory. M-theory to be precise.The federation of the future would be unchanged.Spock would be missing or lost to an unknown end.

The star trek franchise books movies comics and such are very much interwoven in Scientific principles and theories,in as much as each story being relative to the previous and the next and so forth.If they choose to change all of their story lines to accommodate the twist.Which I doubt they do.In the end some explanation will be forth coming as to the relevance of this Paradox and the applied sciences and mechanics behind it.

I hope future enemies continue to make thin walkways and platforms over a near bottomless pit so that there's plenty of opportunity for death when fighting. Guess safety codes and handrails get phased out pretty soon.

I saw it yesterday and was quite pleased. I thought the whole thing was nicely done.

It isn't supposed to. It's supposed to be different.

Exactly. JJ Abrams has the creative freedom to take a familiar set of characters and do something completely different with them. And do it w/o dismissing anything that had previously been done.

Frankly, if Paramount is going to keep milking this cash cow, starting with a clean slate was the best thing to do.

Apparently the Romulan version of OSHA doesn't survive into the late 24th century.

I knew walking out of this movie last night that this may urk hard core fans, but me personally, I loved it. However, I always couldn't really connect with Star Trek for the most part up until last night. I always thought the characters were too wooden and the whole thing just always seemed to take it self way way too seriously. I love the injection of humor, and the characters have some desperately needed personality now. I hope they can keep this cast together to make as many movies as the last two sets did.

Alright, I am not going to push this because I understand people have different opinions on things and I am not trying to just be a jerk, but I have to clarify what I meant because I don't think it is clear. I will try and leave some key words out so as not to be too spoiling.

"It's supposed to be different," sure. But if there is no [planet], there is no [planet's science academy] to fund the original individual's mission that created the time travel event, right? In fact, that character would obviously not even do that in this new time line, knowing what he knows. SO, how did [planet] get destroyed, then, if the original destroyer is no longer coming? It's an incomplete time loop, and thus can't work. If you make a major change in the past, you have forever changed the future-- so the original events that led to you being able to change the past is potentially altered, and certainly altered in this case-- and then the past won't be changed.

At any rate, oh well. I guess I am just a fuddy duddy.

well reference first contact, when the borg took over earth, the enterprise was not effected even though, earth was taken over way before that ship was created, also the differences can be shown in the development of technology and the design of the ships, besides planet co-founder of rome was destroyed post mining ship being made, so it would have been able to make the jump because it was already made, any changes to the future timeline did not effect the mining ship because they were not in their time

i had this same conundrum while i was building my flux capacitor
