I may fall in love with Star Trek all over again...

[Noble Dreg]

Those are two classics Jack!

I gave up hope for the whole saga after "Voyager" brought the franchise to it's knees and "Enterprise" delivered a near fatal blow.

Did I fall back in love with Star Trek?  Well, let's just say we're dating again.  

[Captain Jack Wolfe]

That gives me hope.  The only reason I watched "Voyager" was Jeri Ryan ('nuff said, as her catsuit was the best special effect of the entire series), and I quit watching any Trek midway through the first season of "Enterprise".

I welcome the overdue enema reboot for Star Trek.  It's fiction, kids.  Not religion.  They can do anything they damned well please to advance and revitalise the story, as long as what they do is good.

And yes, I watched Trek when it first aired in the 60's...  it needed a swift kick in the dilithium crystals.

I've heard mostly positive things about this movie, and since I was raised right (my dad got me hooked on TOS and TNG as a kid) I'm taking my dad tomorrow after I get home from faire.


And guys, c'mon, Enterprise isn't THAT bad (not saying it's good either)... It's better than a lot of other shows out there today.

Great movie.  Only the unduly righteous should find fault.

I thought it was awesome!  I've seen it twice now.  Went on Friday w/my hubby, then we went back on Sunday w/my Mom and brother. 

Cobalt, you're right.  It's NOT the same story as the TV show.  *possible spoilers, depending on how sensitve you are*  Everything from TOS onward still exists, in an alternate reality (thus "Spock Prime").  The bad guy changed history, so everything's a little different.  Not once did they try to say it was supposed to be the same story from TOS.  *shrug*  Not trying to say you're not entitled to your opinion or anything like that, just pointing out they weren't going for exactly the same thing.

Well I saw Star Trek and didn't like it at all because they changed the storyline too much from star trek cannon.

Please.  Even Trek can't keep its own canon straight.  Remember the tombstone with "James R. Kirk", anyone?  Or Khan telling Chekov "I never forget a face," even though they never met?

I'm keeping an open mind.

Those are little tiny things but when you watch the movie you will see HUGE HUGE things which anyone who even watched a few episodes will immediately notice.

While some may fall in love with trek again I think they are making a huge mistake.

After that opening scene, the canon has now become somewhat irrelevant.  It is supposed to be different. Like others have said here, it's a good reboot.

[jinx]

I got to see it!

I love having friends.

Yes, I loved it.  I went in thinking "Okay, even if it's awful, there's eye-candy."

IT DIDN'T NEED THE EYE CANDY TO BE GOOD.  I left happy.  ^.^

  What Scotty said: " I like this ship. It's exciting!".

[Rani Zemirah]

I want to live on the Enterprise...

It RAWKED so hard I'm still trying to clear my head!!!  LOL

The changes were indeed shocking, and a really daring deviation, but over all I thought the movie plot and storyline added so much depth and substance to the back story that I'm really torn between clinging to the accepted and loosening my grip in favor of this new and intriguing paradigm.  These changes actually flesh out and explain the character development in ways the original never really did for me, and I loved seeing how the key players came together as it all unfolded.  Over all I was extremely impressed, and I'll be seeing it again in the theater, and buying it when it comes out! 

I really hope to see more of this crew, and find out just how this alternate timeline unfolds!!!

The next movie is already in the works.

[Messyn McCleavage]

The next movie is already in the works.

Yay! It left me wanting more!

It definitely answered some questions, even if it was an alternate universe. The graphics were AMAZING! I want that sword. Wait, I NEED that sword.

[Elennare]

Wait, I NEED that sword.

Can't have it.  I already called dibs on it.   

[ravic]

Wait, I NEED that sword.

Maybe Purple Dragon can scare one up for ya.

Me and Andy went and saw it Sunday....I thought it was very well done! There were lots going on, but I think it was filmed in such a way that it wasn't over the top hard to follow.

We want to go see it again I think.

As far as canon goes, with Spock, etc.  If you remember back to the  "Redemption 1&2" episodes on TNG, when Spock and Picard were on Romulus and the whole thing with the Duras sisters and Tasha Yar's kid - at the end, Spock stayed on Romulus, thereby setting up an entirely believable situation for this movie.  And timeline travel is an accepted part of canon.  (can you tell what we've been talking about at home, ever since Thursday night.  Personally, I am thrilled to be "home" on MY Enterprise again.)

I can't wait to go again.  Has anyone else seen it in IMAX and then in "regular"?  The IMAX made my daughter motion sick, so I'm wondering if there is a noticeable difference.
