Star Trek 2009 *Update* Sequel "Into Darkness" Coming in 2013

[lottie342]

I've spotted a few Star Trek avatars around and thought a discussion on the new film (or any other Star Trek movie/series) was needed Plus, I'm such a trekkie

Star Trek is a 2009 science fiction film directed by J. J. Abrams and written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. It is the eleventh film based on the Star Trek franchise and features the main characters of the original Star Trek series, who are portrayed by a new cast. The film introduces an alternate reality separate from the continuity of the original series and the previous movies. It explores the backstories of James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto), before they unite aboard the USS Enterprise to combat Nero (Eric Bana), a Romulan from the future who threatens the United Federation of Planets.

I prefer the old version but the new is cool too !!!

 

[dajrekshn]

it's really a nice movie. action+spock=

Oh yeah, Spock. I like typing my random thoughts into Google's search to discover who might share them, and "spock is hot" garnered more results than I expected, to say the least. It seems the notion is rather typical...

I guess it was a good movie. A member of my... uhh, party... literally counted the number of scenes where a character was saved from death at the last possible second through unlikely events, which kind of killed my figurative buzz.

^ You're going to love it Belowen!

I have to put my thoughts together to really say what I want to say about this film but I thought it was such a joyous little treat and the perfect kick off to the blockbuster summer. What could be better than a movie that is a) good b) accessible c) utilizes one of the most beloved fandoms of all time. I think that JJ has really crafted a truly impressive film. Hollywood films of this nature often get shafted in terms of respect but I think it takes something special to make a movie for such a wide audience that is finely crafted and smart in its exectution.

And where is Faith?!

I thought I was alone in the "Spock is hot" thoughts - my friends think I'm crazy, they spent most of the film staring at Chris Pine - who is pretty good-looking too I suppose

Ohhh yah. About time we had a thread for this!

The mild Trekkie in me was absolutely thrilled at the new film. I went with a few friends who knew nothing about the franchise as well, and everyone just fell in love with it. So glad to see this series "revived!"

It took me so long to work out what he was saying (it was playing abnormally slowly)

here is the trailer (with Leonard Nimoy ) - this is the one I saw in the cinema which made me decide I wanted to see it.

OMG I LOVE THIS FILM

Seriously, it was awesome. I want to see it again! I loved the laugh-out-loud moments, like when Scott said to the alien he was living with "you can eat, like a bean, and that's it." I don't know why I found that so funny but I did And the big hands!

i was never a fan of star trek...it was just a bit too cheesy for my liking. and i adore science fiction too. this version looks really promising to me and not what i would expect from star trek.

how was winona's role as spock's mother? i heard it's a small role but it's rather memorable.

 

[Faith Akiyama]

^It definitely was memorable (And integral to the plot) Go enjoy it Scott!

 

[Scott]

i love winona ryder and thrilled to see she's back doing some good work again.

i'm planning to see it sometime the coming days when i have a bit of free time so i will let you all know.

Cast member Simon Pegg also posted this title, and Abrams acknowledged the title during his interview on the talk show Conan

OMG it does look kind of different, i mean involving a lot of the earth and not a classic adventure, but it seems i'll like it anyway.
