I swear, I've never seen a single Star Trek show or movie. But that was pretty darn epic.
What about you guys?
I'll be seeing it in a few hours.
EDIT: Ok I just saw it and it was AWESOME. This set of actors were actually better than the original set, and all the nostaligic references were awesome. Zach Quinto (Sylar-Heroes) was the perfect young Spock, and seeing Leonard Nimoy (original spock) was really cool. Scottie was pretty amazing, too.
As a fanboy, though, I have two complaints. (Spoilers) First, why was Spock making out with Uhura? That was...stupid. Second and most importantly, THEY CHANGED THE WHOLE TIMELINE! Spock's mother and Kirk's father shouldn't be dead, and Vulcan certainly shouldn't be destroyed. Unless they fix everything in the already-announced-follow-up movie, the production team could have a lot of angry nerds on their hands.
It's kickass, and I'm fairly sure that they REALISE that they changed the storyline, moron. That was the point. This way they can do whatever they want with future films or even a series.
I saw it in IMAX with the best seats. Only had to get there 30 minutes early. :)
I know they realize it; I'm just unhappy about it. You don't need to call everyone a moron, Gamer.
It still was pretty damn epic.
I don't understand why you're unhappy. The other storyline still exists, it's just in an alternate timeline. Stop bitching about such a stupid thing.
It's funny that you say that. Because, they acually say that in the movie itself. Kinda funny, I think.
I am surprised at how it turned out, it wasn't perfect, there were a few wierd parts, like Spock and Uhura, Kirk...and well, tell me this, how did a 24th century starship get pulled into the blackhole while a 23rd century one was able to escape when there was so much more red matter? But, all things considered, it was a great turn-out.
I wonder how they're gonna run the next movie. They could end up restoring the timeline, they could leave it, or...they could even make a TV series around the new timeline. Unlikely, but an awewsome concept. Personally, I'm hoping they'll do something with The Wrath of Khan, as they are now open for remakes.
I can't watch Heroes anymore now that I've seen Zach Quinto as Spock. I can't take him seriously as Sylar.
I agree, my father was having a real hard time with him the entire movie

I was a little PO'd about the messed up timeline at first but then I remembered that by going into the past the entire timeline got altered. And I'm guessing the Spock from the future(played by Lenard Nimoy, BEAST!) is from the what we used to know as star trek.
Yeah, I'd figure it was him
I mean I think the Spock from the future is from the alternate universe that was in the original startrek.
Of course he is, they made it obvious.
well most people wouldnt realize it if it jumped around them and bit them on the ass.
Well, be thankful that you're not one of them.
I am every day.

I've never seen another star trek show or movie, and i even made fun of one of my friends for seeing it, because he is a star trek fanboy. then i saw it. it was effing UH-MAZING
Yep. Pretty much.
Was hanging out with my friend today and we made the realization that she has seen more Star Trek than I have.
And I thought I was the nerdier one.
My dad used a line from Star Trek when talking to a neighbour about their messed up house plans that made it so their house is absurdly big and they never got it approved and stuff. Something along the lines of "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few".
Yep, that's the line, alright. Spock said that to Kirk at the end of the Wrath of Khan explaining why he sacrificed himself to save the ship.
I can't see how that line fits into your situation, though.
The people want their own thing while the rest of everyone is all "lolno".
And yeah, that's what he said it was from.
Like i've said, i havent seen any other star trek thing, so forgive me for not knowing this, but was Spock supposed to look so akward?
Well, this was supposed to be him when he was much younger and more inexperienced, so yeah, he was supposed to be kinda awkward.
