I went and saw this during the week with someone who'd never seen anything to do with Star Trek before. In fact she even said she hated Sci-Fi. But we both thoroughly enjoyed the flick, I know not to expect Oscar-winning performances from something like this, it was just a really enjoyable romp.
Chekhov's replacement - cool
Simon Pegg as Scotty - cool
McCoy - not so great, didn't get into it
Uhura - hot, plays more of a rolel in the movie than she ever did in the old ones
Spock - it's hard to forget the dude was Sylar from Heroes, but he does the 'logic' thing alright...
Kirk - I don't think they could've picked anyone better, he has all the youthful hallmarks of the original Kirk in the TV series. Swashbuckling hero that thinks with his dick.
Nero - Eric Bana disappoints again. Hasn't done a good role since 'Chopper' or Black Hawk Down.

Absolutely loved it, lens flares and all. Just great, joy-filled storytelling and filmaking.

wrath of Khan was way more amazing. probably the best to date, but this one was not terrible.
- Those old star trek movies were just way too over-the-top silly in every way. The acting was awful.CygnusZero4

Oh, and Chekov's first appearance had me giggling like the twat I am.

Oh, ginger green chick too.
Fuck me, I had unnatural feelings towards her.
- totally natural to be attracted to an alien with basically the same body as yourselfversion3
- Mein Gott! I have green breasts and curvaceous thighs?!
*strips naked, only to be sorely disappointed*Nairn - No, no..they are totally natural. It's ok.TheBlueOne

Finally saw this last night at the flicks.
Pretty good - 'best' ST movie yet, but I found the story arc overly predictable, the conclusion obvious and that, overall, everything was a little too easy - though if they're intent on following this one up with a few more in the same vein, I guess it makes for a harmless Origins tale.
Whilst it was amusing that the obligatory RedShirt got nuked on an away mission - wtf? these are supposed to be super-trained futurubermensch - no way it's conceivable the lead soldier would play reckless like that. Silly.
I have to say, as much as I love Simon Pegg, I was thoroughly irritated by his typically English (ie. wholly inaccurate and very crappy) attempt at a Scottish accent. Didn't like his cutesy little friend either. I thought we'd learnt that lesson after the fucking ewoks and Jar-Jar.
As for canon - what the fuck?! They left Vulcan obliterated?! There was no 'fixing' of the normal time line? No no no, sirs... WRONG!
Also, what was with the blur-focus on the majority of the Older Spock shots? It just didn't make sense - it was either some horrific oversight, or a really bad attempt at soft focus sentimentality.
Oh, and - Uhura and oldenWinona, HOTT.
- +1 on Simon Peggs accent, it was really bad. Mind you, I think only Scottish people will have a problem with it.Jnr_Madison

I saw it in IMAX
Never again will I watch any movie the same way. Regular theatres just don't compare
A recurring theme was Kirk getting punched in the face.
A LOTSomeone obviously enjoys seeing him with blood on his face
- Did it contain the standard fog machine / laser intro???!!!ideaist

Saw this last night.
I thought it was good.It was entertaining with out being to geeky.
I liked how the characters used some of the original iconic phrases from the series.

I thought it was good but not as good as everyone else and not as bad as marychain.
- I'm not calling it bad.
I give it a C+marychain - I'd call a C+ bad.Jnr_Madison
- I'm not calling it bad.

Saw it last night
meh
Wrath of Khan was about about a billion times better than this "Lens flare: the motion picture"
It was ok...but the character development was rushed & forced...even ridiculous at times.
The villan was probably the weakest star trek villan ever (in the movies at least)...I never watched the show
It was ok...but I guess the overhype machine made me expect something truly great.
All in all...I had a LOT more fun with Wolverine...maybe because my expectations for it were so low.
All in all...I wouldn't watch again...and for me that's dissapointing.
Ah well....NEXT..Terminator......lo... like it may have the goods
- You liked Wolderine more than Star Trek? You clearly have no idea what a good movie is.CygnusZero4

Just saw it yesterday. The movie was all kinds of awesome. If you like sci fi, but dont like movie you might want to stop watching movies. Sci fi films really dont get much better than this.

I'm not a trek fan, but I trully enjoy this movie.
if you like sci-fi as much as I do, you can see no wrong in it,
except for the weak "evil" nero,- download the comic and you'll get more of nero's backstory.TheBlueOne

Star Trek: The Original Series / Spock's Brain
[full episode 50:42]- the writer of this one admits he intentionally wrote a piece of shit in revenge against "certain actors" who critiqued the writing too much.CyBrain
