Took my mom to see it for Mother's Day, and all I can say is HELLS YES!!!! So good. I'm so glad it's an alternate history now. That will make it exciting for future movies because they can kill off anyone they want and it won't be predictable.
Karl Urban and Simon Pegg as Bones and Scotty were freaking awesome too, not to mention how unbelievably perfect Zachary Quinto is as Spock.
I didn't like Nemesis, but I haven't seen it since I saw it in the theater, so I don't remember that much about it other than I thought it was lame.
And I didn't like Episodes I-III of Star Wars because I think Hayen Christensen is a terrible actor, and the one that he isn't in is full of Jar Jar. That and there are some really awkward CG animation scenes, especially in II (like that part where Anakin and Amidala are in that big field and he is attempting to ride that... thing, and it looks very very fake). I think III was the worst one. I laughed out loud at several parts in the movie that were not supposed to be funny because I couldn't believe how many cliches there were in the script. It was like watching a really bad Kung Fu movie.
I think the main thing that is missing from the new movies though is Han Solo. He was the best character in the old ones, and they didn't put anything in the new movies to replace his presence.
wow, I can't stop thinking, am I a clone of you, but in male form? :hello2: as if your post could've come from my mouth.
I don't think I commented on zachery quinto or chris pine, but man... these 2 are awesome!!!!! chemistry, just like the old days! how scotty got introduced, wow!
there were SO many hints to old movies, I loved it!
like when the shuttlepod with the captain from the USS kelvin went to the romulan ship; just like the enterprise with V'Ger!
the bug with cpt. Pike: wrath of kahn!
the tribble with the introduction of scotty!
the huge battle with the romulan ship and the federation-ships reminded me of 'best of both worlds', TNG, or maybe even nemesis
the alternate timeline: first contact!
strange enemy who's intentions are unclear, romulan in heritage: nemesis (duh!)
the part where the old spockg gives scotty that formula; nice wraparound with the thing they did in voyage home (where scotty gave that dude the transparant aluminium formula; how do we know he didn't invent the stuff?)
etc etc
i can go on and on with this for hours haha
