@9: It’s not just for kids. They are aiming for a wide audience including young adults. So it sounds like an oblivious attempt to reach kids and young adults with a scientific message, but who are more sophisticated than the cornball characters who will be speaking to them. Kids who are growing up on entertainment which has top notch animation and adult humor, like Pixar movies and Invader Zim, which has terrific niche animation and is quite funny.

You don’t make new fans by appealing to people in a ham fisted way that only geeks will appreciate. That’s the problem with purveying “geek” ideas in a geeky way.

Looks like true TREK v WARS at last.
I am truly geeked out by this meeting of the casts of both of favorite things in the universe..and Pine and Shat work together at last , at least verbally … Shat as the the prime core ..will Pine play the new core in the Cassini reboot down the road?

I’m a 3D geek so I’ll definitely be checking this out. Yes it has the potential to be somewhat corny but that’s part and parcel for these edutainment features for the museum Imax circuit. It looks no worse in that regard than other Imax exclusive features I’ve seen. Some of the CG does look a little suspect, but I’d hardly call it PS2 quality – hopefully those are placeholders and there will be several more rendering passes for the finished product.

And for #8 how about pre-geekish.

This film/movie looks promising, if it does a good job at education kids on Quantum Mechanics (I do not mean at the Physics level but at least name level) it may be able to have our 5 to 10 year old’s know more than the high school students.

We need to start moving child’s minds from the Medical Gentics frame of view to the sub-atomic level if humanity is ever going to get out of this solar system at a pace faster than a snail.

I predicted that the next step in technology after we get over our fixation on Human Genetics will be sub-atomics and it’s by-product Nano-technology.

If they make a second movie call it Nano and feature it around nano-atomics and sub-atomics. This could one day lead into inspiring a young Zeffrem Cockren like mind into inventing Warp Drive.

@8: So Bad, It’s Good?

It is an edutainment film for kids, keep that in mind. You were expecting maybe Othello?

We’re the peripheral fanbase at best, due to the geekalicious cast. :D

I’m looking for a word that sort of means corny, only a thousand times stronger….
