I just saw this and it was *amazing*. Good story, great characterizations by the actors, excellent effects and a very sound way to resolve issues with cannon that might bug sticklers but I think will make everyone else happy. You don' t have to be a huge fan of TOS to appreciate this movie, but if you are, all the better. I hope anyone who sees it enjoys it as much as I did.

I did not get out this weekend. And I wont next either, since it is a long weekend and I will head up to my parents for a Beginning of Summer/Morther's Day celebration so I guess I will have to wait a few more weeks.
*sigh*

I did! I want to see it again...
Me too! I was actually tempted to just stay in the movie theater and watch it again then and there . . .but in a rare moment of adultness, I didn't. Definitely going to catch it again this week (which is so unlike me!)

Heh, I was at the last showing of the day, so I didn't have that option. That late on a Sunday night, there were only six other people in the theatre with the BF and me, though, and they were all sitting well behind us so it almost felt like a private screening.
Finally got to see it this weekend. We had to go to the first showing at 11.30am as I seem unable to stay awake after 6pm in the evening. I liked it, I thought the portrayals of Spock and McCoy were the best. I really didnt like the Uhura / Spock / Kirk love triangle thingy, I just didnt think it was needed at all.
Love triangle...... in my mind it could make it a bit more interesting.... though I might get it in my head that it's other people (like the swan and her two guys)

I guess for me, the spock/uhura thing answered the question I had always had in my mind of why kirk was hitting on all of the girls (including the yeoman) but not uhura. Of course the best friend's girl would end up off limits - except the one episode I think where they were forced to kiss for some reason.
But yes, I can also see how that is a little bit extraneous in terms of this movie. Maybe they were trying to give the girls bigger roles - particularly the women on the crew. It seems alien babes got plenty of attention, but less so the women serving on the ship in the original series.

Well, I know what will be under my Christmas Tree this year, might be the only thing.
Being a long time Star Trek fan, eer geek. Some classmates and I watched video taped ToS and TNG episodes in the Geometery room at lunch and then we Voyage Home came out in theaters we hijacked the Geometery teacher into taking us to the theater in the next county opening weekend (we never got anything opening weekend) Which happened to be Thanksgiving weekend.
I really wanted to see this movie in theaters but my movie budget was such that I could only see one of the three that I wanted, so Star Trek and Wolverine lost out to HBP.
Hopefully I won't face a similar dilemma of Gatchaman goes head-to-head with one of the DH releases.
But a Spock/Uhura/Kirk triangle? Where'd that come from?

If that happens, I would pick Gatchaman! I already know how all the Harry Potter characters look and behave, and I've already read The Deathly Hallows...
Movies here are so expensive now, and it's almost doubly so for us because we have to take the kids. We find it cheaper to wait 6 months and buy the DVD for $15-$20. So I hadn't seen Star Trek... but it was on the plane as we flew to the UK! So I got to see it there. Still going to buy the DVD though, as I'm sure that tiny screen on the back of the seat in front of me and the tinny sound on the ear bud (only one ear working) didn't do it justice...
But Gatchaman is definitely an 'in the theatres' movie.
