It is sitting pretty stable at 96% on RottenTomatoes, it's a genuinely fun, good movie.

Did the Beastie Boys inadvertently invent the Vulcan neck pinch?

That's scary.

Sweet mother of pearl! The original series is available on youtube!

My wife and I just got back from seeing it and we both haven't been able to shut up about it.

I truly think that Karl Urban hit the essence of Dr. McCoy without trying to copy Kelly directly.

Yeah, as much as I expected to enjoy Quinto as Spock, because of the physical similarity, it was that performance that sucked me in the most.

Surgoshan · « **Reply #58 on:** 16 May 2009, 18:31 »

Sylar played Spock perfectly.

Old Trek, same as the new Trek.

If that had come out maybe opening weekend, the joke would be amusing. As it is, it's been said too many times already. "LOL THERE ARE LOTS OF LENS FLARES" just isn't funny anymore. More creative parodies plz!

Johnny C · « **Reply #61 on:** 17 May 2009, 01:29 »

It did come out opening weekend I think? When did this dang movie open, anyways?

scarred · « **Reply #62 on:** 17 May 2009, 01:32 »

Last week? No, the one before that, maybe? Not sure. Anyway, even if it did come out first, I didn't see it till now. So, therefore, it's just not good enough.

Man, saw this today, it was awesome.

I would consider homosexuality if Simon Pegg were into me.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #64 on:** 17 May 2009, 19:32 »

I saw it for Simon Pegg, and the trailer looked cool, and it did not disappoint.

So it turns out I went with some friends to see this yesterday! I'm not much of an Original Series fan so I missed most of the in-jokes, but one that I really loved was Kirk jumping into bed with the green-skinned alien woman.

Also the whole bloated-hands, numb-tongue sequence was brilliant. Such a perfect combination of hilarious comedy and tense drama.

Cool.

Loved it! The best part was probably the beginning, in which Spock was being bullied. "I ASSUME THAT YOU WILL ONCE AGAIN ATTEMPT TO ELICIT AN EMOTIONAL RESPONSE FROM ME?" "AFFIRMATIVE."

rynne · « **Reply #68 on:** 21 May 2009, 13:15 »

Pretty much the only negative thing I can say about Star Trek is that there's not enough Scotty. And no make-outs between Kirk's mom and Spock's mom.

Aside from that, I think JJ Abrams did a basically excellent job.

That was mentioned in the TOS episode "What Grim Cost, Salvation"(the one where a transporter malfunction sends Kirk to a primitive planet where he is heralded as a prophet of the planet's dominant religion and must fake his own death to escape both the adoration and persecution such a title brings) that Spock and Kirk's mother had an illicit lesbian relationship, which was actually how Spock and Kirk would end up meeting in the original timeline.

Man, all I was saying is that if JJ Abrams had created a universe where there existed Winona Ryder/Jennifer Morrison make-outs, everything would have been better. Maybe Nero'd see it and be like, "hey, this place ain't too bad."
