I never liked the idea that the new film was opening Christmas Day, let’s hope that they do bump it up a few days to either December 17 or 19. It wouldn’t be the first time a Trek movie has been moved forward in it’s release date, I remember seeing a poster for Voyage Home that says that it was supposed to open in mid December 86, but it actually opened the Wednesday before Thankgiving. And Undiscovered Country has two trailers on its DVD that say different dates, the first says December 13 and the other says December 6. So, it’s safe to say that the new film will probably open before Christmas. How much it’s bumped up, who knows?

And on the subject of runtime, I think the final length of a film is something the director, producer and studio all agree upon. I hate how all the Trek films have run under 2 hours (with the exception of TMP and IV, with the latter running an even 2 hours). I’m thinking and hoping that this one’s running length will probably be a bit longer than we’re used to, but still around TMP’s length in the 130- 140 minute range.

#114, I don’t believe that Rick Berman was the one that decided on a runtime for Nemesis , that’s usually a studio call.

IMO)
I liked Nemesis ok, however none of the deleated scenes would have improved the overall film.

Got to say I’m gratefull to Rick Berman he did a good job and gets ragged on alot for things that were out of his control.

I am from Germany, not Klingon!! :) and i would not like to kill you!!

I think that the new film could be very well good. If it is good, then it is good and if it is not good, then it is not good. I will go seeing it on the first weekend if it receives good or favourable revies and i will particularly go if i receive an IDO coupon.

thank you for not trying to make fun over me or the language i speak! :) my feelings are not hurt. and do you see how emotional powerful star trek and Darmok are — i made my point, by referring an episode, and you understood me and my intention! I hope that the new film has this element.

Manrum,

I never attempted to make fun of you or the language you speak.

Lately we’ve had people playing pranks by posting as someone else and, when you first posted, I was simply trying to determine if your messages were legitimate. I admire anyone who can speak more than one language….I have enough trouble with the one!

I apologize if I hurt your feelings!

Okay, why do people continue to rag on the Next Gen movies? Generations was fairly decent, First Contact was great, Insurrection wasn’t good but better than V, and Nemesis…well, Nemesis’s problem lied in one simple fact: Rick Berman is an idiot who didn’t realize that we fans have absolutely no problem witha movie being over 2 hours long if it’s good. But no, he felt that so many scenes had to be deleted to get it under 2 hours. Why? It makes no sense when your audience is a group of nerds who have experience being in a theater for 3 hours+ for LOTR.

I’m ready to see what XI has in store, no matter what it brings.

Yes, Darmok!! so you do not make fun over my english or my language difficulty! Darmok is a wonderfu episode, and people must learn about it. I refer to Harry Ballz from yesterday.
