I just want the score for this shit already. Who cares about the movie?
Evidently AICN heard something to the effect of Picard and Data showing up in the new Star Trek movie, which makes me halfway fanboy excited and half way :yuck :yuck :yuck :yuck :yuck

They aren't in it.
The guy who said it at a panel that got AICN going? He said he was misunderstood. And TrekMovie.com which has been the main site for spoilers in this (had all of the casting announcements before they were public too) said they aren't in it at all.

And tng cast members said they aren't in it, and most of them have bashed this movie too lol.
GG:
Chris Pine hot or not?
considering there has never been a tng movie more than mediocre, that cast really doesn't have much room to be shit-talkingFirst Contact :punch
I've never seen a Star Trek (movie or episode) but I saw this trailer before watching Watchmen and now I kind of want to see this. :-\Praise be to JJ Abrams :bow

NERD MOVIE
But demi, it's a JJ Abrams production.
You just killed any excitement I had for this movie. Thanks demi.
JJ is so awesome
he finally made a good Mission Impossible movie
and now he's doing it with Star Trek.
Quite a few people erupted in laughter when the trailer was shown at my local theatre. I thought it was kind of cool, and I don't even care for Star Trek.
I'm excited for seeing Karl Urban in something that's not got him as a brooding jerk.

Well he is Bones...
I think even if everyone else fails epically, Simon Pegg won't. He at least knows who Scotty is and probably has seen more Star Trek than the entire cast and crew combined.Bob Orci one of the writers is a big trek guy, no?

Nerd love
:lol
Crying when Dumbledore died is infinitely nerdier than anything related to Star Trek, save for maybe actually learning Klingon.
Sorry, on a nerd scale Star Trek still rates substantially higher than anything Potter relatedsomething's hot about star trek... it's sort of becoming cool to like it (i'm talking about the original star trek, not the others). hard to explain... hipster mentality stuff. anyway, it's starting to rub off on this film... i'm not gonna be ashamed whatsoever going to see this.
Being up front about nerd-ness>hiding it in the closet when the cool folks visit
So PD, you show off your vast collection of nerdy fantasy books and tell them how Dumbledore's death brought you to tears?
What in it made you cry then? lolSo PD, you show off your vast collection of nerdy fantasy books and tell them how Dumbledore's death brought you to tears?
My fantasy collection is pretty good, nothing to be ashamed of. I got a nice LOTR edition set among other things.
DH brought me to tears. Dumbledore's death made me mad iirc

I cried when Spock died at the end of Wrath of Khan. Then I got all kinds of pissed off when they brought him back in III, and turned him into a autistic savant in IV.
TOS Movie ST is the best ST.
Undiscovered Country > Khan > Rest
Ranking of the only movies that matter:
Undiscovered Country
Wrath of Khan
Voyage Home
Search for Spock
Motion Picture
Final Frontier
:bow :bow :bow
Overall I think the TOS crew worked better in film rather than on television while the TNG crew worked better as a tv show rather than on film.
Why is Star Trek opening in Australia one day before opening in the US? This is a new trend I'm noticing where American films are opening abroad before in the States. What's the deal?10 years ago movies made most of their money domestically. But the worldwide market has been booming for films and now often foreign gross outgrosses domestic numbers. So there is more of a focus on foreign markets now.
Makes sense. I noticed that the last Bond movie came out in Europe before the States too, but 10 years ago when I lived in Germany I'd have to wait a couple months before an American film finally made it over.Well that has always been that way for Bond I believe. Bond is decently popular in America but HUGE in Europe.
As Paramount Pictures readies the May 8 release of its "Star Trek" franchise relaunch, the studio is moving forward with a sequel, and has hired Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof to pen the screenplay.
J.J. Abrams, who directed and produced the latest chapter, is onboard to produce the follow-up alongside his Bad Robot partner Bryan Burk. No decision has been made yet on whether Abrams will return behind the camera for the sequel.
Orci, Kurtzman and Lindelof also are receiving producing credit on the sequel.
Story is still in the embryonic stage, but the trio are aiming to deliver their script to the Melrose studio by Christmas for what would likely be a summer 2011 release.
"There's obviously a lot of hubris involved in signing on to write a sequel of a movie that hasn't even come out yet," said Lindelof, co-creator with Abrams of ABC's "Lost" who produced the upcoming "Trek" but did not contribute to Orci and Kurtzman's screenplay. "But we're so excited about the first one that we wanted to proceed."
As for potential storylines, Kurtzman stressed that the writing team will wait to take a cue from fan reaction about which direction to go.
"Obviously we discussed ideas, but we are waiting to see how audiences respond next month," he said. "With a franchise rebirth, the first movie has to be about origin. But with a second, you have the opportunity to explore incredibly exciting things. We'll be ambitious about what we'll do."
Though Orci and Kurtzman have worked together as a writing team for more than 12 years, the duo has worked with Lindelof on only one screenplay: DreamWorks' "Cowboys and Aliens," which they are currently writing together.
Paramount has high hopes for the "Star Trek" relaunch, and is pulling out all the stops on the marketing front. Studio began a full-scale campaign six months before the film's May bow.
Looks like the Enterprise is blowing up in that one.Looks like being built.

The new Star Trek movie is amazing- easily the best Trek movie since The Wrath of Khan, and a veritable feast of sight and sound: A captivating adventure that grabs you from the first and doesn't let go. The effects are staggering, finally what the stories have deserved so richly. There are enough huge fireballs, shattering explosions and exciting fights to go around. The movie's first 5-10 minutes are of note I feel: This sequence is brilliant and had me immediately on the edge of my seat.
Then the movie started, James Horner’s fantastic title music played over the credits, some audience members snickering at “and introducing Kirstie Alley” (I think she’s actually really good as the Vulcan, Saavik, in Khan) and then the first scene. The print was beautiful and then lines started appearing on the print. Booooo… then cuts… then it skipped frame, running for about 10 seconds split in half… up is down, down is up and all that before locking up, the frame burning.
Tim jumped on stage to say he’s going up to fix the problem and called for Orci, Kurtzman and Lindelof to kill some time. They show up, Lindelof going, “Okay… so, you wanna know what the monster is?” Clearly talking about the black smoke monster on LOST. People started shouting out LOST things (“I want to know what the statue is!” etc etc) and suddenly a man shows up on stage wearing a trench coat and a hat.
This man is holding a film can in his hand. He removes the hat and right there is Leonard Nimoy.
The audience went ballistic, standing ovation for the man, the girl behind me losing her shit. He takes a mic asking what’s going on here… why would you only show 10 minutes of the new movie? “JJ made a good movie, why only show 10 minutes of it?” Then he took a vote. Who wants to only see 10 minutes of the movie? Crickets. Who wants to see the whole thing? Thunderous applause .
And within seconds Orci, Kurtzman, Lindelof and Nimoy are off the stage (not before Nimoy could throw out one more Vulcan salute, of course) and JJ Abrams’ Star Trek plays.
Best since Wrath of Khan. yeah, we'll see about that... ::)Even though I am hyped for this movie the surrounding issue about how these guys saw it has to inflate the quality of the movie in their minds.
Best since Wrath of Khan. yeah, we'll see about that... ::)

Considering Undiscovered Country is better than Wrath of Khan, this creates a TIME PARADOX

The original Star Trek mostly sucked, so I can't really be nostalgic. Next generation, however, was mostly quality.

if you've never liked anything he's done, then my guess is that this won't really change your mind.
in my case, i was never a huge star trek fan. i know ENOUGH about the stuff and have watched a few of the key episodes and read a few books Fnord Chan suggested over on GAF, but it never really stuck with me.

Did you read The Final Reflection and How Much for Just the Planet?
:bow John M. Ford :bow2
RIP :'(
I hated Alias, I think LOST is stupid seat-of-the-pants fanwank, Cloverfield was one of the worst movies I've paid to see in a cinema. M-I:3 was okay, but just okay. I dunno if there's anything else JJ should be judged on.
yeah, those are the two he had me read and they were fucking sex bob-omb.
I think I would have liked Cloverfield if it were like a television movie. If it were a TV episode or some sort of scifi original, it would have been inventive, but as a bit theater picture it was really underwhelming and boring.Cloverfield was ok...also long as it you downloaded it and watched it on your computer. It worked pretty well in that context. Even renting as a DVD I think I would've been disappointed.

Blasting onto the screen at warp speed and remaining there for two hours, the new and improved “Star Trek” will transport fans to sci-fi nirvana. Faithful enough to the spirit and key particulars of Gene Roddenberry’s original conception to keep its torchbearers happy but, more crucially, exciting on its own terms in a way that makes familiarity with the franchise irrelevant, J.J. Abrams’ smart and breathless space adventure feels like a summer blockbuster that just couldn’t stay in the box another month. Paramount won’t need any economic stimulus package with all the money it’ll rake in with this one globally, and a follow-up won’t arrive soon enough.
Paced at warp speed with spectacular action sequences rendered brilliantly and with a cast so expert that all the familiar characters are instantly identifiable, the film gives Paramount Pictures a new lease of life on its franchise.
Fans of the "Star Trek" saga will be delighted to see Capt. Kirk (Chris Pine), Spock (Zachary Quinto), Bones (Karl Urban) and all the others in the early part of their lives as the Starship Enterprise takes its maiden voyage. The film is so much fun, however, that it will draw in moviegoers just looking for a sensational ride. The boxoffice should beam up enormous returns.
sigh, Star Trek Babies
Some of the more level headed reviews seem to hit at a really strong opening, then the movie spends most of the time trying to juggle some not so impressive action with fan service, and a plot where a ton of shit moves but nothing actually happens.Wha? MI 3 didn't get nearly as fantastic reviews as Trek is getting. Not even close.
MI 3 had all these cool reviews and hype, ended up being shit.
JJ Abrahams must know some secret sauce for critics.
sigh, Star Trek Babies
?
Actor's age:
Kirk = 29
Spock = 32
McCoy = 37
Scotty = 39
Uhura = 31
Sulu = 37
Chekov =20
Only Chekov would be a baby. 30's = babies?
Says the guy who predicted this would get bad reviews.sigh, Star Trek Babies

I've never seen anything Star Trek related but I'm pretty pumped for this.
Still is getting nothing but awesome reviews though. :bow
And yeah Shatner is so weird about this. I guess he is jealous of Nimoy.
love how he immediately starts plugging his shitty products after watching the far sexier shitty product Abrams has in store for millions of people
how can we convince obama to reopen gitmo for star trek fansuhhhh Obama is a self confessed Trekkie :-\
i am willing to pay extra taxes
third strike
reserving plane tickets now
seriously, though, can we at least sterilize star trek fans
seriously, though, can we at least sterilize star trek fans
most of them are self sterilized by fact of being star trek fans
Obama's REAL favorite show is The Wire.He said the other week Entourage is now his favorite show.
Lets all chill now. Lets just chillax.
He said the other week Entourage is now his favorite show.I could rationalize like any good liberal and point out that they're not making any more episodes of The Wire and thus a change to a more current and active show is appropriate.

it's time to murder the planet
Holy crap, is all that stuff about Takei? Is it just from the venom from Shatner's roast?
And, I like Trek, so fuck off. I've never dressed up or anything, but I like Trek. A lot.Same, you can be a Trek fan without being a "Trekkie".
EB hates Star Trek so much that I'm downloading the first season of the original show right now.
Rolling Stone's Peter Travers gives it 3 1/2 stars.I'm not surprised. It is getting the best reviews for a blockbuster since The Dark Knight.
The more positive feedback, the more anxious I get. It MAY actually be good!
I loved Star Trek, the original series and The Next Generation. I watched it with my mom, and also I'm just a huge nerd.
I am scared they are going to hollywood this movie to the point I have a Stupid Sexy Flanders moment after leaving the theater and drive my car into a ditch.
