Star Trek... Good movie. Wish I could see it in IMAX, but not complaining, because I got in on a sneak preview and saw it for free... In fact, I liked it so much that I can't say why, because any details I give may ruin the experience for you... Saw "Star Trek" in IMAX. Frakking amazing; really glad they did what they did, too. |

Star Trek was pretty good, but I always liked the old series because it was about exploring, not action and drama. I know that if the movie were like that people would get bored, but I hope it doesn't become a trend to make Star Trek like that 100% of the time. If they ever make a TV show based off it, I hope they explore brave new worlds and go where no man has gone before, as opposed to being a Battlestar Galactica clone or something.

Well, with the exception of Encounter at Farpoint all the series pilots were more focused on an action plot than exploring. Now that the new alt timeline is established, there should be a lot more room for exploration of the universe in the next movie.
And hopefully Klingons as well.

Just saw Star Trek in Imax.
It was goddamned awesome. It had the same "holy crap this is the coolest thing ever" factor I got from the first time I saw A New Hope.
It was THAT good.

It was THAT good.
When Kirk got promoted to Captain, I started clapping along with the tribunal in the movie... and it took me a couple seconds to realize it. This movie was a degree of magnitude better than I expected. |

I really want to watch Star Trek. I like the show, but haven't been able to get into it, though I know I don't need the reference. It seems like there are gonna be A LOT of really good movies this summer. yay! I'm excited. Year One looks hilarious, I'm making it a point to watch that, and Up, and maybe Terminator... staying away from X-Men, I've seen the graphic xD @Graham Aker: OMEDETOU~  you went on a date!! I'm sorry if I'm making it seem you've never been on one, but I know you over the internet, so you can't blame me for wanting to crongratulate you xD I've been on A date, and then the guy sent me a high message that he couldn't take back >.> I don't attract the right people... I'm sorry for the tangent xD We went to see a movie that time, just to keep things relevant xD |

I really liked how they used time travel in the Star Trek movie.
I mean, if you have to do something cheesy and sacrifice a little bit of continuity to tell a good story, sometimes it pays off to go ahead and do it. Sure time travel is a bit cliche, but it was well worth putting up with in this case.
They did something very "Star Trek" to let them do a few things that were a bit "un-Star Trek" while still being "Star Trek".

I was actually thinking more about Star Trek, and yeah there are a bunch of plot holes. But who cares, it was just a bad ass movie.
It had just the amount of cheesy. And the right amount of talky. All it needed was more starship porn. Just like Transformers needed more robot ass kickings, but it looks like #2 will deliver on that.

I was satisfied with the third Terminator movie, "Salvation". If they tried to be corny, rather than take the franchise seriously, I'd have to deny any and all claims to the existence of such a film.
Very well executed, now to see how they go with the inevitable sequel to a sequel to a sequel.

Star Trek was indeed amazing. I saw it opening weekend. The red shirt after they get on the Enterprise that says the line "I'm ready to kick some ass!"...I stood up in the theater, pointed at the screen and yelled "RED SHIRT!" They made this movie in the only way they really could, by having an alternate universe that is linked to the actual universe we all know by a small thread that is very bright orange and hard to miss...and says "Leonard Nemoy" in bright blue on it. And gotta love the classic McCoy "Dammit Jim I'm a doctor not a..." line. I finally saw Wall-E last night. It was rather enjoyable on a "sit with your little cousins or your significant other and watch a cute movie" level. But yeah, I would totally go see Star Trek in theaters again. I was satisfied with the third Terminator movie, "Salvation". Um...I might be miscounting, but unless you deny the existence of T3, Salvation is the fourth. |

Saw three this past week, which made for quite the interesting whirl of emotions.
First was Shindler's List, then The Incredible Hulk, and finally Wall-E. All were spectacular films.

X Men Origins: Wolverine
Even bigger surprise was on a date. Oh snap!
Graham, you just took a step up in awesomage. Well done... See, now everyone knows why I didn't want to "discuss" Star Trek... and for those that didn't like it, remember it's also a very open reboot (even considering it's already anything-can-happen sci-fi)... I missed the usual "group outing" to see Terminator Salvation (midnight showing ending at 2:00 + and me and Mrs. N. having to catch a 6:30 AM flight = the sleep math just didn't work out). So, I watched T3 on DVD this last Tuesday (didn't see it yet), and saw Salvation last night. T3 was decent sci-fi action, and an adequate bridge to Judgement Day. No big character development for John, but a little more insight into how Terminators (especially t-8xx) think, and how much they are ruled by their programming. Salvation was a little bit of Asimov-esque robot philosophy slammed down into the trenches of post-Judgement Day Earth. Some great tributes to the other movies, good characters, and good character/story development. I'm also glad that I watched T3 first (one of the "group" said it didn't matter - however, I think T3 ties in well). I guess the next "group outing" is GIJoe... |

Well, that is what I implied in that post... Saw Land of the Lost on opening night, and again for a friends' birthday thing. Not Ferrell's best, but I certainly enjoyed the hell out of it. Oh, and G.I. Joe looks awesome. Is Eccleston playing Cobra? Never imagined him to play a villain. |
