[QUOTE]Originally posted by Capt_Spencer: [QB] My brother and I saw it last night for the early 5:20 showing - stadium-style seating, baby, oh yeah... What an AWESOME movie!! In my opinion, after only one viewing, I'd say it's equally on par with Wrath of Khan & First Contact. I agree about the "just because" comments, but likewise, a lot of that could be explained away either in the novel or the expanded DVD version we'll see in 5 months or so. =) There were a LOT of nice touches in the film, though: 1. and I must stress this as the first point, absolutely NO references to Archer's NX-01 Enterprise! YAY Not even a model of it in the display of the standard 6, nil thru E. 2. Humor was well-done, well-timed. The drunken Worf's "...Irving Berlin..." comment, the Picard at the gym comment, "Data - shut up." comment, Majel getting to say "Auto destruct, offline.", I loved it all... 3. Oh my God, could they fit more space battles or laser fights in?? LOL Pretty sweet and amazing VFX tech. I wonder what happened to all of Starfleet's beam weaponry, though? =/ The bridge "evacuation" scene was cool, too, if sad for those redshirts. 4. FINALLY we get to see some Romulans, and even a new design which isn't as bad as I thought. It's no Andy Probert, but it fits the Sovereign era. 5. Past refs - Riker's call for "Helm, pattern Kirk 7" or whatever the number... Janeway was cool, even, she'd want some desk time after all the crap they went thru in the Delta Quadrant. Guinan got some good lines, I'm pretty sure I saw the Traveler at the wedding, and I'm sure there were a lot more we'll see in the DVD. Riker reminiscing about Data was cool, and that he (unlike us star trek geeks) couldn't remember the name of Data's whistling song... 6. After all this time of only Peter David getting the reins, we finally see Riker & Troi gettin' it on, and gettin' it together, a nice follow-up to the bath & library scenes in Insurrection. 7. Sense of scale - the Reman hangar bay, the damage effects, the long corridors on Enterprise, all damned sweet. 8. I was at first worried that Trek music might be getting stale with Goldsmith again, but he actually pulled off a lovely score, if a bit over-synthed. Also, it was worth it to get to hear the "Enterprise in drydock" theme from TMP again. =) 9. Everybody got a sweet part for ther character, and their careers. LOL -Riker got to kill off the guy who mind-raped his wife, plus I think they went back to Alaska for the Picard ceremony in dress uniform, right? -Picard got to battle his enemy ship-to-ship (literally) and in man to man combat. -Troi got to show off her body and get revenge against her attacker, AND crash another Enterprise after revealing Scimitar's location. Very cool. -Data got to sing, Brent Spiner's fondest wish, I'm sure, and he got to kill him off because of the age issue that always nagged him. Plus there's the opportunity to see more android development in B4 if he ever wanted to take up the role again. -Worf didn't really get to do much, and he was looking a little old & tired, but the Romulan Ale scene was funny. Hopefully more in the DVD. -Geordi was cool too, though not as much to do either. Nodding goodbye to Data & his comments about the impenetrable Reman cloak were great, though. Now some things that bugged me: 1. I can understand seeing nothng in orbit of Romulus - they'd all be cloaked. But come on, not a single Starfleet vessel or Station seen other than the Enterprise and her drydock? They were in orbit of Earth!! 2. The list of Starfleet ships they were *going* to intercept - a bit odd, but I'll list what I remember, USS Galaxy USS Nova USS Aries USS Intrepid A lot of first-of-the-class ships there, but I really wanted them to show up, so we could see the Aries - isn't that a Renaissance? ;) Logan probably threw that in there just to haunt us ASDB members... LOL 3. I would have liked the chance to see Enterprise towed home. First off, I would have towed them right to the Fed. fleet as soon as I showed up if I were those Romulans, I mean the Scimitar can't track two ships at once, let alone many once they arrived. I dunno, there's probably more I could comment on, but I have to get up today. lol Jason [/QB][/QUOTE]
