I was born in 1982, so I’m 27. I’ve never watched the old Star Trek movies or original series, but watched the Next Generation and this new movie. I always thought that Star Trek was, and will always be, an entertaining science fiction film. The tolerance and understanding messages all the die hard fans talk about are still there in the new movie.
There’s no sex scene, just a comic “almost sex scene” in the entire movie. The tight outfits as just as tight as in the original series:

Please, go watch it and let us know if you enjoyed, or not.

:D
Cheers!

I loved the movie but was horrified at the destruction of both Romulus and Vulcan,the fact that the timeline was not restored left me feeling very nervous about the franchise’s future,what are we paying those guys who inforce the Temporal Prime Directive for?

Well they did drop the ball on the whole Xindi thing,but still the loss of these two core worlds in the Star Trek universe? bad medicine I say

Now with this timeline the Alpha quadrant will be doomed to loose the Dominion war

Also I wasnt thrilled with the Romulans looking like extras from Road Warrior I could see if the crew did that out of mourning for their lost homeworld but the scene on Romulus w/ Spock showed they too were bald .

I can only hope Q shows up and snaps the two planets back into existence in the sequel or those temporal agents who pestered Archer rescue Spock and help him do the job right the first time

I’d prefer to see the Skorr or the Kzinti utilized in future sequels too ,if any both have lots of potential as adversaries

Still these complaints aside I really did love the movie

one more thing what about Romulus’ twin world Remus? no mention of it’s fate

but if they dont repair the traditional timeline they run the risk of ruining the franchise

Has no one else noticed Kirks immediate jump from Cadet to Captain. I’m throwing the BS flag on this one. As far as this movie goes, Spock would have been the more believable one to relieve Pike as Captain of the Enterprise in the end. You just dont go from being a Cadet to a Captain of anything. Very unbelievable. The movie was entertaining but the BS flag must be thrown.

I would really love a close look at Pike’s Star Fleet Academy ring if at all possible. Also a clear shot of both Future Spock and Kirk’s Delta Vega Parkas.

so is that a member of the Jedi Council just to the left of Kirk’s head in the shot with a close-up of him at the Academy assembly?

the ’spoilers’ above are not assumptions, but based on seeing footage that is not yet public and talking to people associated with the film on and off the record.

There are a lot of assumptions at the begining of the shot by shot analysis. just because Kirk’s bike has Iowa plates dosent necessarily mean that he is or the ship is being contructed in Iowa. Cant really say they are spoilers really…

I dont think I’ll see it. I was hoping the newer trailor would light some interest…but nope…nuthin. I grew up in the TNG era of Trek, then had to retroactively find out about Kirk and friends. This movie will garner its fans…legions of IPhone carrying, Gossip Girl watching, bottled water guzzling minions will flock to this Star Wars adjacent sci-fi flick and love it for its very…VERY simple story of action, sex, and tight outfits.
And I leave the fandom to them. I have my DVDs and memories. Just like th crusty old TOS fans to this day bitch and moan about THEIR Trek being the only true Trek, I will do the same…at the ripe old age of 27. Loved the TOS movies, though the series is unwatchable for me…
If this revamps the frachise…great…millions more dollars to be squeezed out of Roddenberrys corpse. But make no mistake…this will not be Star Trek…its will be an “entertaining science fiction film” for the masses.
Thats all. If people can just accept that (and the latest effort to drag us back, kicking and screaming into the TOS tomb)…then all will be well.

Romulus is destroyed in a supernova according to the comics (canon). I believe the planet imploding is Vulcan.
