Star Trek (2009) is better then Star Trek II (1982)

No discussion needed.

Star Trek FC 91%
Star Trek II 90%
Star Trek IV 84%
Star Trek VI 82%
Star Trek III 76%
Star Trek Ins. 55%
Star Trek 1 50%
Star Trek Gen. 49%
Star Trek Nem. 36%
Star Trek V 21% (Shatner shouldn't direct)

well

we all know know how the alt version of this guy was born now

5/21/2009 8:55:44 PM

hahahaha nice, Spock and Uhura make Tuvok.............

5/21/2009 9:45:07 PM

lol marko

5/21/2009 10:53:17 PM

haha that's awesome.

5/22/2009 5:15:20 PM

yeah that's pretty great



I can't believe nobody else I know thought of that, we were even talking about Tuvok since he probably should have been alive in the new movie.



Slightly related: wtf does a vulcan have to do to get promoted?!?

cup the balls maybe

I liked it, it probably would look pretty damn good at IMAX too

what I'd like to see is a side-by-side picture comparison of the old/young enterprise crew like if they had some posed scene in the movie that was just the way they stood back in the day too

5/22/2009 11:50:51 PM

5/23/2009 3:01:09 AM

fyi, tonight at midnight is the last IMAX showing in raleigh

already bought my ticket

5/24/2009 7:34:53 PM

well shit, I was thinking about seeing it there

5/25/2009 12:17:31 PM

The soundtrack for this movie was awesome. The theme that plays after the destruction of the Kelvin into the movie title gives me chills.

5/26/2009 10:42:05 PM

Amok Time music FTW



But yeah, the whole scene with the Kelvin was a brilliant start.

That whole first scene made me think about how the movie ratings have changed. It was extremely violent and while you don't see the exact moment that the spear impales the first captain it panned back to his vitals immediately turning red and TERMINATED.

It was slightly disturbing. In a good way. It just blows my mind that that shit is PG-13 but if a tit gets flashed it's rated R. Fucking ass-backwards puritans.

5/27/2009 1:52:51 PM

Good News! it's back at the IMAX showing Friday and Saturday at 11:15 pm

I think it stopping had to do with a conflicting contract with that retarded 'Night at the Museum 2'

5/28/2009 12:27:49 AM

^ it was supposed to be a "limited" release, but I'm gonna guess limited means until the showings stop making shittons of money in this case

5/28/2009 1:13:21 AM

In case there's anybody left on the planet who hasn't seen this yet, we're picking it up at Galaxy Cinema starting tomorrow. Showtimes are 1:00, 4:00, 7:00, and 9:40.

5/28/2009 7:34:24 PM

if ive never seen a star trek or don't have a clue what the show is about, would i still enjoy the movie?

5/31/2009 7:14:32 PM

yes...assuming you haven't lived under a rock and know who spock and captain kirk are...most definitely yes. i loved it.

5/31/2009 7:17:16 PM

You don't even have to know who they are. The movie introduces the characters and is a reboot of the series. If you don't know any of the characters at all from pop-culture you would still be okay, though I guess you would miss some of the more subtle things.

5/31/2009 8:23:56 PM

i liked it and have watched... one star trek movie prior that i can think of, maybe one or two episodes.

5/31/2009 9:13:03 PM

My dad and I have always like Star Trek, but my mom knew a little bit about it (i.e. Kirk, Spock, and some of the original crew) and we all loved it.

5/31/2009 9:15:13 PM

Star Trek XI is not Star trek. Sorry.

6/1/2009 10:14:58 AM

Star Trek VI gets the 5th highest ranking?

are we living in crazy world?

6/1/2009 10:20:00 AM

After going back and watching I-VI, something occured to me that I don't think has been mentioned in this thread...

Could the need for a new Vulcan home world be the new initiative purpose for the Genesis project?

6/8/2009 1:18:39 AM

They are doing Kahn next? Fuck that. they need to go v-ger

6/8/2009 1:21:01 AM

V-ger was a stupid idea. Bring on the Kahn.

6/10/2009 7:01:56 PM

dont be dumb

they will not redo old stories

6/10/2009 8:27:54 PM

i'd think they would be more likely to do stuff from the series than the movies... the movie era was many years after the series era stuff, and this new franchise is before the original. it would be a big jump to go straight to the movie stuff.

6/11/2009 9:52:54 AM

Couldn't they do, you know, original stuff?

6/11/2009 10:53:17 AM

All the original things that happened in XI:

time travel
pissed off romulans
telling people about their inventions/discoveries before they are supposed to invent/discover them
kirk fucked a green chick
spock does shit that vulcans don't do
mutiny

and of course

red shirt died

Khan was from the original tv series.

6/12/2009 9:53:44 AM

yeah no kidding, but WRATH of khan was from the movies... if they were going to do WRATH of khan, he would have to have a reason to be mad at kirk in the first place, like in the original timeline.

Was there an uncredited cameo by Colm Meaney in this film? My friend and I are having a bet.

6/15/2009 12:38:32 AM

Where?

6/15/2009 2:37:59 AM

apparently captain picard loved the new movie

6/15/2009 2:40:50 AM

^^ The bar scene where Kirk beats up the Starfleet officers.

7/3/2009 1:00:15 AM

Where do you think you see him?

I just watched that scene 3 times and no one in it looks even remotely like colm meaney

7/3/2009 1:37:43 AM

out out outtttt

9/30/2009 8:38:52 PM

Target has all of their movie merchandise on sale.

So load up on phasers before Obama outlaws them.

10/2/2009 3:48:56 PM

OH SHIT

10/2/2009 7:32:13 PM

Watched this last night in 1080p on a 50" lcd with surround sound. Just awesome.

10/2/2009 8:56:46 PM

I watched it in my holodeck last night. Suck it.

10/2/2009 9:09:58 PM

yeah, well i participated in it via a Q recreation.

10/2/2009 9:32:19 PM

Ah fuck.

10/3/2009 12:09:05 AM

^^didn't make past the first scene, did ya?

10/3/2009 3:15:11 AM

actually it turns out this whole "alternate timeline" business was Q's doing in the first place... he made those ships move back in time for his amusement.

10/3/2009 9:31:38 AM

srs?

10/4/2009 11:43:03 AM

I thought this didn't come out til the 17th of november?
