Movie Review Star Trek

Green Lantern · #1 05-10-2009, 05:31 PM

I don't want to ruin anything for anyone but if you are a Star Trek fan this is a MUST SEE!!!!!!

Excellent story, excellent action, excellent, excellent, excellent!!!!!!!!

Everything in this story works!

If you are not a Star Trek fan then this is a great starting place to get involved in the Star Trek mythos.

The actors that played Spock and Bones hit their characters dead on and did an excellent portrayal of those characters!

Spend the money! It is worth it!

Saw it in Imax yesterday. I really liked it except for one thing.

As in the Enterprise series they are playing around with the alternate timeline thing.
It's a personal dislike for me and will not keep me from buying the DVD when it comes out I just find this aspect to be a little too loose for my SiFi tastes.

But hey! There were ray guns and a bunch of cool ships. It's still Star Trek!

With that alternate reality though it does open up a whole new universe to play in while leaving intact the mythos of the original series and TNG.

What I think it opens up is a chance to make sequels to straiten everything out...Which I guess is alright cause there will be more movies.

I'm not a trekkie, but the movie looks pretty good. The guy playing Spock looks so much like Leonard Nimoy. One of my childhood fav shows is coming out in the movies-Land of the Lost. I love those slestaks!!!!

Kamma70 · #9 05-12-2009, 01:15 PM

Are you serious..I loved Land of the Lost....guess I have two movies to go see now.

Green Lantern · #10 05-12-2009, 08:16 PM

The new LOTL looks terrible.

Did anyone hear that William Shatner was going to do a cameo in Star Trek, but they changed their mind because it didn't fit it with what they wanted to do with the movie or some odd reason?

And then Shatner got pissed?

Valkyrie · #12 05-13-2009, 06:02 AM

Didn't he die in the movie with the Next Generation cast?

I thought Piccard got him out of the nexxus thingy to help him get the guy that was trying to get into the nexxus thingy. The guy who wanted in, in order to get there had to destroy a planet and Piccards ship had crashed on that planet.... <sigh> so much was going on in that movie....

THAT'S THE GUY!!! lol

Yeah, him, he was trying to get into the nexxus thingy. He rigged something on this planet to "attact" the nexxus to it so he could be swept up in it. The proble with that was if the nexxus did that, it would destoy the planet and everything on/around it including the Enterprise! <such drama>

Summerrain · #17 05-13-2009, 07:02 AM

I thought he had died... Wasn't sure, though. That might be why they decided against the cameo.

Green Lantern · #18 05-13-2009, 07:11 AM

i heard that it was a money thing too. Shatner was looking for a big paycheck

No Malcolm McDowell of A Clockwork Orange and Caligula fame is the guy who was trying to get back into the nexxus thingy. He also was in the short lived Fantasy Island remake. McDowell is a rather strange charater and plays a great villian, he always seems well... disturbed.

If you check out the Generations movie pay close attention to what Woopie has to say about the nexxus and you'll see what I mean about doubts of Kirk's death. Mrs. Haney pointed this out when we first saw the movie.

found this synopsis:

Picard remembers that Guinan had told him he would find someone in the Nexus to help him defeat Soran. Just then, an "echo" of Guinan appears, telling Picard that he can have anything he wants in the Nexus, but that he can also leave — and he can leave prior to when he came. There might still be time to stop Soran's destruction, but Picard believes he needs help if he's to be successful.
With Guinan's help, Picard finds a slightly puzzled but happy James T. Kirk in the Nexus. Kirk wasn't killed 78 years earlier on the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-B, but was drawn into the Nexus instead. Picard meets a content Kirk who is now a happy farmer in Iowa, complete with his life's loves — "Antonia" and his horses. Picard is successful in convincing Kirk of the spurious nature of the Nexus realities, and he awakens Kirk's taste for adventure, duty, and the chance to "make a difference again." The two Enterprise captains leave the Nexus and materialize on Veridian III, just as Soran is preparing to set off his solar bomb. This time, Kirk grapples with Soran while Picard races to sabotages the probe.
