This is a film I just read about on TrekToday, a parody of sorts of Trek. As a major movie I'm hoping it might find its way across the pond to the UK. From what I can see of it, it looks like it could be fun.

and anyone who's seen it or knows of it come forth and speak!

I think this topic would be better suited to the General Sci-Fi Forum...

It's not really sci-fi, even though it is... *shrug*

Jubes and I saw it... REALLY funny, really good. Effects are REALLY nice - ILM.

And the ship is REALLY cool.

Yes. Very good movie. And the ship is excellent. And you can tell it's a Trek spoof - the bridge of the ship from the 80's show shown in the movie looks like the TOS bridge.

Actually, Tim Allen said that he tried to emulate Shatner's portrayal of Kirk from TOS for his character.

I thought it was pretty good. And yes Tim allen does a shatner impression. You can hear it everyonce in awhile that ever dramatic pause in his speech. Good movie

So THAT's why my Trekkie history teacher told me I HAD to see it.
