Title: STAR TREK (spoiler alert)

Your opinions on the latest star Trek Movie.

I thought it was SPECTACULAR. I am a Treky, through and through. (I also love Star Wars, love them both. aha) I thought the characterization was absalutely amazing, spot on!! O_o the worst was spock and Kirk, but that's not saying much, for they were amazing as well! XDDD

The plot was very interesting, driven to reboot Star trek into a new design. I don't want to hear anything about "inconsistancies" because the time line was changed, so things can be a little, if not alot, diffrent than originaly. They did that very creatively too, i would say, and they DID NOT take all that many liberties with it, which impressed me.

it was epic and exciting, the graphics rival that if Star Wars episode 3, and all you see on TV is not the best stuff, the best stuff IS THE MOVIE, the good graphics stay with you through the whole thing.

anyone else notice the Red shirt death when they went down to disable the drill? Yeheheheh I called that one. XP

This movie is a hybrid that I think should mesmorize the regular audience, and make Star Trek fans cry in love. the ONLY thing though that i do agree with is treating the enterprise like a peace of hardware...it's supposed to be the home, the enterprise is a charactter in itself, and I didn't see much of that. But we could see that happen with furhter Star Treks when the enterprise becomes a more familer ship with the crew. :3

I've grown up around Star Trek. I never really knew what everything was in it until around February/March. I've been in love with Tribbles for years. This is the Star Trek I know. I don't know much about the old Star Trek, only the newest movie. XD I saw the movie the day after the day it came out (I think. XD) It was awesome!

I only was dying to see it, because the actor of Sylar from Heroes was in it, and I had to see Slyar be Spock. xD And because of this, everytime Spock lifted his hand to do the sign for "Live Long and Prosper", he really wanted to slice open someone's head instead. XDD I swear that he wanted to do it to Kirk so many times.

My parents did keep saying that they completely changed the time line from the very beginning of the movie. They said that Kirk's father was supposed to live longer than he did in this movie, and continued to learn and actually meet Kirk.

The one thing that I really did get confused with was what they called Kirk. I mean, it was James one minute, then it was Jim, then back to James. I was so confused. xD but then I asked my parents, and they, of course, answered. James is what the girls called him, then Jim was what the guys called him. xD

One thing that I really did find interesting (that I of course didn't know) was Spock's heritage. I had no idea he was half-Vulcan, half-Human. Oo I honestly found that rather interesting. Even more reason to love him. xD The only one of that species. Now here's a question about this...if he did actually get with Uhura and had kids, what would that make them? Half-Vulcan half-Human? Or...what?

I did find that the whole thing was interesting, though. :D One thing I'm slightly confused on, though...The way that Future Spock described it was that he went into the Future within a matter of seconds and the Romulin (Rommulan? SP?) guy took 21 years or something like that, how does that work, exactly? D: I never understood that...

Anyway, yeah. xD That's what I have to say about Star Trek.

Romulan

Haven't seen the movie yet, I want to though.

The Romulans arrived 21 years earlier in the past than Spock ended up, that's all that happened.

Spock is just simply both, but growing up on Vulcan made Spock very much more Vulcan than human. Spock ends up being a very very wise Vulcan, and actualy uses his human side to further his wisdom. ^_^

I saw the movie too and it was AWESOME. This is someone who doesn't watch Star trek but knows the characters. I do have one question and it's been bugging me.

The Romulans arrived in the past and destroyed the USS Kelvin correct? Then 25 or something like that pass and they destroy Planet Vulcan. Now hold up. You mean they did absolutely nothing during those 25 years except wait for Spock? Do I even need to explain how idiotic that is!? They could have saved there planet within that time. ANYTHING! But just...wait there...

Anyone?

First of all, the Romulan's minds were so caught up in hate and revenge, I doubt they would've thought of something so simple as to find a way to save their planet, they probably wouldn't even care to anyway due to the Romulan's tendencies to do things very rashly.

Second, their's...really nothing they can do. the whole catastrophic event doesn't happen for a LONG LONG LONG time, so at that time theirs really...nothing they can do about it. You'de say "Well, convince them you're from the future ,and to prepare them for the event!" Again, very rash Romulans, they do not think that logically like Vulcans, like Spock does.

Thank you. XD

and I'm so not good on remembering things like that, CLF. D: that's like expecting me to remember what shoes size Tails is. Oo; (thought I know they've never told us) lol

But yeah, Spock does seem more human that Vulcan, but regains the fact that he gets more Vulcan-y than he had been.
