I thought we had a generic star wars thread, but we only have ones dedicated to individual movies. So i guess here will have to do

"The Millennium Falcon is the most famous starship of all time, and a bonafide cultural icon in its own right.
But it underwent a long and arduous conceptual phase before that final iconic shape emerged"

movie is so so good. the bar pick up line / fight scene is worth re-watching in and of itself a few times.

best startrek movie next to Wrath of Khan....
and if they can pull out a 'revenge' type of movie for the next one, we just may have an even better Khan movie as well....
also deserving honorable mention is 'the voyage home'....although a lot of trekkies probably don't like that one as much, for me it's always been a top favourite...lots of humour, good natured....just a great movie all around...
but yeah..the latest movie is amazing....and i love in the docs on the disc how JJ looked at the whole Startrek pantheon of movies and said 'ok...what can we learn from Starwars?'......first rate idea.....

Ive never been a trekkie. I always felt it was too hokey. I like the relative seriousness of star wars more, but this movie is extremely well written and acted, and it looks great on top of it. Its pretty flawless. Very entertaining.

I'm a life long Trekkie, just short of dressing up. I assure you this movie is fantastic. Maybe better than Wrath of Khan.

Also watched this on blueray last night. Not bad for Star Trek. Not really an "own" movie and a little over hyped. Enjoyed though.

I watched this last night, and personally felt it was one of the best Star Trek movies I have ever seen. I was thoroughly entertained throughout the whole movie, and was surprised that there was absolutely no sex-type scenes, and shit.
They did the legacy justice, and handled the story very well. I recommend it to anyone, sci-fi nut or otherwise. Although, I'm sure Trekkies everywhere probably bemoaned the whole thing.
- I have several die hard trekkie friends, and they actually all love it.harlequino
- However when they start in with "except for these details..." and I tell them to stfu.harlequino
- There kind of is a sex scene though, Kirk with that green girl.CygnusZero4
- yeah my treky friend loved it too. lolsea_sea

Abrams has admitted that he went a little overboard with it. But his logic was that this future is a bright future, both metaphorically and literally. The technology produces a lot of light and would have this effect, were a camera present.
It's all mostly in camera too, not a post effect.

Just got this on bluray. The movie is excellent, but what the hell is up with the lens flare? I think it's in almost every shot of the movie? It looks good, but a little bit overused I think.

The theatre went crazy that i was in when Tyler Perry's cameo came on screen. Someone yelled out "Oh snap Tyler Perry's Star Trek!"

also did you notice that kirk spends most of the film getting the shit kicked out of him?
- I felt like that was something of a recurring gag. Even Spock beats him up.harlequino
- Builds character.ETM
- Only happened like twice though. Once in the bar, and once by Spock. That's the entire film now?CygnusZero4
- He also fights romulans on the drill platform as well as in Nemo's ship. That's 4 so far.monospaced
- He had it coming.CyBrain

when kirk sr was crashing into the mining ship, why didn't he go to warp?
- Because warp goes through subspace, durr.
(I have no idea)Nairn - I would've believed ituberdesigner
- prolly cuz the bad guy blew the shit out of his shipharlequino
- Because warp goes through subspace, durr.

Any watchers of "Lost" notice the little dramatic editing thing JJ Abrams seems to like to do?
At the beginning when Kirk's father is the last on the ship and he's talking with his wife and she's havin baby Kirk an all - we have that sequence as he's fighting off the bad guy and she's giving birth...all the sound kicks out and it's only the swelling of the music score. Lots of tense editing back and forth, fireballs and stuff.
Did that feel familiar? Happens on pivotal episodes of "Lost," and I'd be curious to go back and see if he did that on "Alias" too. Seems like a signature thing of his to really frame the "moment in which nothing will ever be the same," where several characters are going through changes that affect the whole storyline.
Wife and I kinda giggled about it, we both looked at each other and said "We're watching Lost!"

Seems like a lot of pompus designer types like to trash basically anything that's popular. Star Trek is a good movie. Simple as that. It has like a 95% approval rating on rottentomatoes. Those are all professional movie reviews, and basically almost all of them love it. Get over yourselves already.

I always wondered why the enterprise didn't use nuclear weapons rather than some dinky photon torpedoes that don't do shit.
