[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Ginger Beacon: [QB] Just saw it. First: [QUOTE]Originally posted by HopefulNebula: [qb] Saw it last night. My inner fangirl is still basking in the afterglow. [/qb] Too right! I was [i]so[/i] surprised that I liked it - 80%, maybe more. Second: [qb]And I didn't realize until the movie actually ended how much my enjoyment of the movie was based on them not pressing a reset button. [/qb][/QUOTE]That was the one thing that made it for me. I'd've been pissed if they had pressed the big Mysterious Red Button (Copyright, Krenim). The baddie was good, if a little underused. The plot was fantastic, even the bits where whole chunks of Trek (i.e. no more Vulcan) were (litteraly) ripped to shreds were cool. A red-shirt got killed in a realy cool and unexpeted way (if you hadn't all ready read the spoilers). The crew was different (expected that), Chekov was somewhat more than a glorified extra (that was Uhura here, so no real change - oh and Spock was an unexpected twist there! WTF! One of the few bit's I didn't like TBH). Prime Spock realy made the whole thing legit to the fan in me. NuSpock was a bit emotional. The girl I went to see it with even said that. She's not a Trek fan by a long way but she really enjoyed the film too, so it's good for "lay-people". Erm, what else? Enginering set sucked - realy not right in my eyes. I pretended it was the one in the saucer or something, I dunno. I liked Pine as Kirk, Quinto was ok, Urbane [i][b]was[/b][/i] McCoy. Pegg was ok, but he's not Scotty really. I liked the Russian guy, Yelchin, the Korean playing Sulu fella was ok, but a bit of an extra. I felt Uhura could have been left out and I'd not notice. Bruce Greenwood (or whatever his name is, Captain Pike) was good, but he usualy is. I liked Eric Banna as Nero. His henchman was better than Ron Pearlman was in "YOU-KNOW-WHICH-FILM". Oh, the music was pretty crap. Just didn't like it. I actualy noticed it at several points in the film, jaring with the action, and that should never happen. The music suports the film, sets the scene, but should never be noticed explicitly IMO. The credits made me laugh (looked like 3rd rock from the sun with a bad version of the Trek theme), and the ending was a bit cornball (would also have liked some time to pass before Kirk was made skipper - c'est la vie). So, yeah, I liked it, despite all of my doubts. Good film. OK Star Trek. Not my Star Trek, but I can accept that, thanks to actual good writing - like Nimmoy, I liked the scrpit. Go see it is my verdict Masso. You'll probably have the same gripes as most of us, but it's worth seeing nonetheless I think. [/QB][/QUOTE]
