I had doubts that it'd be good but I was wrong, it rocked! Abrams did a fantasic job  |

Oh, same here. Back when there were pictures released with Simon Pegg as Scotty and John Cho as Sulu, I thought this was going to be a remake parody, much like the Dukes of Hazzard remake.
There were some parts I questioned, but all in all I thought it was pretty representative of the series. Honestly, anyone should be able to enjoy this movie. |

I was very pleased with the movie at first; it was very enjoyable. But after about 10 minutes of ranting on the subway out of the IMAX theater, a couple of things started grating on my nerves.
*spoilers*
First, either the plot holes are big enough to fly a space station through, or Old Spock is totally evil and has been travelling through time on his own - A LOT.
Lots of canon Trek lore has been broken - you can't really beam on board a warping ship - because the shield have to be up to warp? Or can you? Not sure about this one but I'm sure Trekkies can find many faults.
Since the plot makes no sense, what remains is that the movie is really a bunch of quotes, quips and cute character touches from the series, tied together rather well. For example it's clear that the whole 'space drill' thing is just an excuse to see Sulu do some sword fighting.
Oh well.
Zachary Quinto IS Spock. You really forget about the actor changes. That's a good thing.  And it remains a very entertaining movie, I really liked it. It works rather well as a 'reboot', but I don't think it really deserves a lot of awards for what lies under the surface...
Just my 2 cents. |

saw it friday. Not a hugh ST fan, but I liked the little nuances that tied into the original series.
overall it was a pretty decent flick.

Good movie. Especially compared to the older Startrek crap movies that were only good for laughs (at their ... low quality to stay polite)
Only hardcore ST fanbois will try to tell you what details were "totaly wrong" - ignore them  |

The wife and I debated this for a few minutes after the movie as we were waiting for our dinner, in the end we both agreed to suspend our disbelief because the 'reboot' makes perfect sense if fans ever expect the 'Star Trek' franchise to continue. It wasn't a particularly smart movie but it wasn't a horrible parody of itself either, I enjoyed it and so did she, but not for anything other than excuse to take in a movie, grab a nice meal and enjoy each others company. |
