As far as the coincidences go, JJ Abrams covers that in the commentary saying that, in a deleted scene in which Kirk asks Spock Prime why they met even though the time line has been severely altered, and Spock Prime says, "It is the time line's way of repairing itself."
In short, do not confuse coincidence with destiny.
I re-watch ST: TOS every summer religiously, and maybe I'm reading too much into this, but I think the new movie was less JOKES ADVENTURE ABOUT FRIENDSHIP AND MORALS and more WE HAS EXPLOSHUNZ AND SEX WATCH OUR MOVIE ALSO LENSEFLARE PLZ. It made me sadface. Secondly, I know this was said, but Simon Pegg played Scotty. McCoy/Bones was played by Karl Urban. I lo-LIKE you a lot Hank, but I have to say, John is my new favorite brother. ): DFTcheckthecastlist&BA!
I just saw that movie a few weeks ago. First foray into Star Trek other than the Voyager series, and I quite like it :) Now, to go back and watch all the previous ones, like I'm doing here with B2.0
I loved it. I am a huge Star Wars fan and I liked this a lot. I agree with you on pretty much everything except for the fact that Pegg did a good job as McCoy, he was Scotty (and did great in that role). Bones = McCoy. #facepalm
commenting late: This got me into the mind set of "gee, I really like star trek (saw this 3 times in theaters) I should start watching the series". We technically I started all the way back with the original and am loving it. I also agree with all of what you have said! My friends dont quite understand my fan girling over this and i am happy to see that i am not the only one who still loves star trek!
When my boyfriend and I went to see ST 11, I really didnt think I'd like it but I loved it. There was a lot going on here. Like Kirks abusive stepdad. So sad. I enjoyed nearly every part of the movie. I especially liked the Spock/Uhura romance. In the original, looks like the storyline was left open to it but because of the day and time...bad idea. The time travel didnt bother me as much as the DESTRUCTION OF VULCAN, EEEEEEE! I was tramatized. Overall, great movie. Loved Nimoy, too:).
that movie was awesome! :) i was obsessed with it for like a year (before i found doctor who) and i designed ships and kept a captain's log and i still have some duct tape gloves with the starfleet insignia on them. :D
This may decrease my nerd points as my nerd friends have pointed out but I must say star trek is not that awesome though i admit to liking the newest movie. But Gene Roddenberry created things better than Star Trek at least in my opinion and those would be Andromeda (best show ever) and Earth final conflict
Sorry im about to overnerd. The franchise began with leonard nemoy and Jeffrey Hunter, hunter playing christopher pike the first captain of the starship enterprise.
Good review! I enjoyed it, and I agree with everything you said. Though I was pretty bothered by the time traveling and Vulcan being destroyed. I mean, what was up with that??? But in spite of that, watching this video has made me want to watch the movie again!!
I mostly agree! But I can't see the Spock/Uhura thing at all...oh well
Also, I love Kirk... So... Yeah. But I've watched TOS sooo many times thanks to my dad that I really can't think otherwise. I don't even know if I've seen all the TNG episodes.
honestly this was the best summer movie of 2009,half blood price comes in second place,this movie made xmen origins and transformers 2 look like shit
i basicly agree with everything you said however i think destroying vulcan was brilliant . it was symbolicly killing the old franchise and sweeping the slate totally clean. now you really have the feeling that anything this could happen, nothing is sacred besides the personalities
I LOVED this movie. Even a year and a half later I can't get tired of it. It made me a star trek fan. I actually went back and watched all of TOS...and I must admit, it made me laugh SOOOO much, mainly cuz I'm a teenager who's grown up in the age of awesome CGI. but you can't deny love for the shat, nimoy, and kelley. And the orginal cast is the main reason why I'm not a fan of the others series, like TNG.
The only real thing that annoyed me was the Spock/Uhura pairing. KIRK/SPOCK FTW!
Both Karl Urban and Simon Pegg are aghast that you have somehow mixed up Bones and Scotty... I mean, I know they both like to drink, but mixing up Scott and McCoy? I don't know, Hank...
I love Star Trek TOS! I havent really seen a hole lot of the newer shows :P what can I say...I love Leonard Nimoy! The new movie was epic! I loved it....In my opinion it was pretty cool and can sit next the the Wrath of Khan on my shelf ^^ I also love the enitre cast they chose for the new movie to play the characters of the original crew I think everyone did very well in reminding just how amazing the characters are from the 60s and to date!
Good movie, Bad trek. End of story. Being 42 I grew up on the originals, and this ain't my trek...but thats okay, I'll be dead soon and there will be no one that thought this movie sucked. At least there is that to look forward to.
I waited a whole year not to see the movie specifically because I thought that they were going to make it suck, but it didn't. I had a big issue with the time travel bs too! They should have taken just a little more time to work out that problem. Looking pass that, it was pretty awesome otherwise! :)
I love especially purely nerdy videos like this one.
Yeah, I've mostly been exposed to TNG (which isn't saying much, considering I've only seen the new movie, First Contact, and fragments of random episodes).
Spock didn't jump out as Sylar. I started watching Heroes afterward, so everytime Sylar came out I was like OMG SPOCK!
So, since it was my first complete exposure to Star Trek, I loved the movie.
My sister and I have been on Star Trek BINGE the past couple weeks watching all the movies when ever we see each other... Some have been sad and some terrible and some amazing so that's my bit
I think i just didn't like the first one of the next generation but its a bit of a jump seeing the differences in the casts... Though thinking back there weren't really any that i didn't like just in comparison to the others I particularly enjoyed the one about V-ger and the Journey Home i think it was with Spock and Genesis
My biggest problem was your mix up with Scotty and McCoy. As a fan of TOS, It bothers me when something like that happens. And even though you have seen more TNG than TOS, you should have caught that mistake.
Haha, I'm pretty sure it was a slip of the tongue - he's talking so fast and trying to bang out his points. I'll bet this mistake has been pointed out to him a million times in the past near year since the vid was made. :)
Also, they destroyed Vulcan because the Planet Vulcan that Spock always refers to in TOS is actually the "ideal colony" that he mentioned at the end of the movie. It suprised me, because i'm a pretty big Trekker (if we're keeping gramatical correctness) and i didn't know that before
Agreed. The whole time-traveling thing was confusing. But was it really time traveling? Or did they just go into an alternate reality? That confused me. Uhora said it was an alternate reality -- Spock agreed. Then the future Spock said that Nero and he were from the "future". Okay..so what is? Both? Or am I trippin' here? Also, I didn't like how they destroyed Vulcan...that made it sad for me too !
Well, it started of with the time travel of Nero... by interfering with the past there he creates an alternative time line in which Kirk doesn't know his father etc.
i agreed with this video on several points however i am very unhappy with the fact that you insulted TOS.
Also i would like to point out that McCoy was played by Karl Urban, not Simon Peg. Simon Peg played Scotty. this is what happens when a TNG fan watches TOS related things, he can't get the characters straight.
P.S. Having recapped on Star Trek since my immersion in TNG growing up... the random crewman theory (also known more commonly as the red-shirt guy) is a long running joke. Obviously destroyed in TNG with the modification of unifom crew assignment colours
Liked it! Some parts were a little guy-flickish though.
Hmmm...like the really long fist-fighting scenes, or the Ahora undressing, or the Ahora running around for no reason, or the Ahora laughing at a really bad come-on joke. But mostly good- I give it 9 stars!
starship troopers+90201+star wars RotS=star trek (2009), I still enjoyed the movie it to me is good reboot and it explains the reboot in the movie...I had some problems with some things but it was a fun movie! Other remakes have failed***cough, GI Joe, cough***
Spock acts really smug. It really annoyed me that, when Spock was leaving the bridge (to beam down and rescue Vulcan's elders/his parents), Ohura questioned him and he stopped to have a lil' 'this an' that' w/ her.
WTF, Spock!!? You're the Captain!! The situation was already appraised and made known. Wait, no, wait. Ohura wants to steady her grip on your Vulcan balls. He should've (stoically) shut that lift door in her face.
Spock played like a jackass (IMO). The romance = 2 contrived.
There is a Spanish film which was recently released, TIME CRIMES. I'm not gonna claim that it's perfect. However, as a story which involves a bit of time travel, I believe it to work rather well.
I thought it was spectacular. Or should I say Spocktacular? *goofy grin* okay, moving on from that lame pun...it was one of the most well-done movies I've ever seen. It got me watching TOS (btw, I disagree that they are 'hilariously bad.' They are amazing, particularly for the time period.) and now I want to watch Heroes just to see more of Zachary Quinto's acting.
Hi Hank. Having grown up with the original Star Trek and ST:TNG, the "Red Shirt" character (security) was known as "Ensign Expendible" by most trekkies.
Ever noticed? In the original series, it's almost always the random crewman that is wearing the red shirt that dies. Can't remember if that was true in the movie, but oh well!
Umm, I know this video is like 4 years old, but Simon Pegg was Scottie, not McCoy.

I think i just didn't like the first one of the next generation but its a bit of a jump seeing the differences in the casts... Though thinking back there weren't really any that i didn't like just in comparison to the others I particularly enjoyed the one about V-ger and the Journey Home i think it was with Spock and Genesis

My biggest problem was your mix up with Scotty and McCoy. As a fan of TOS, It bothers me when something like that happens. And even though you have seen more TNG than TOS, you should have caught that mistake.

Haha, I'm pretty sure it was a slip of the tongue - he's talking so fast and trying to bang out his points. I'll bet this mistake has been pointed out to him a million times in the past near year since the vid was made. :)

Hank, Simon Pegg played Montgomery Scott. Not Leonard McCoy. Annotation?

star trek rule #1 The guy in red always dies.

Also, they destroyed Vulcan because the Planet Vulcan that Spock always refers to in TOS is actually the "ideal colony" that he mentioned at the end of the movie. It suprised me, because i'm a pretty big Trekker (if we're keeping gramatical correctness) and i didn't know that before

"random crewman, he's gonna die"
Yeah, he was a redshirt : P
My favorite guy was Scotty. And that Ewok that followed him to the ship (...how'd he get there??)

Agreed. The whole time-traveling thing was confusing. But was it really time traveling? Or did they just go into an alternate reality? That confused me. Uhora said it was an alternate reality -- Spock agreed. Then the future Spock said that Nero and he were from the "future". Okay..so what is? Both? Or am I trippin' here? Also, I didn't like how they destroyed Vulcan...that made it sad for me too !
Overall, I really enjoyed it. Good things.

What is it*?
neemunstar 2 years ago
Well, it started of with the time travel of Nero... by interfering with the past there he creates an alternative time line in which Kirk doesn't know his father etc.
So, it's both ;-)

@t0bsch I seeeee. So it's both. Interesting. Thanks for the explanation. Appreciate it.
neemunstar 2 years ago
ok it was time travel. But because they time traveled it caused an alternate reality.

Hey Vamp love, TNG fan here who did get it right and was going to correct, IT's all trek, let's not divide the fanbase here.
trapjohnson 2 years ago
i agreed with this video on several points however i am very unhappy with the fact that you insulted TOS.
Also i would like to point out that McCoy was played by Karl Urban, not Simon Peg. Simon Peg played Scotty. this is what happens when a TNG fan watches TOS related things, he can't get the characters straight.

P.S. Having recapped on Star Trek since my immersion in TNG growing up... the random crewman theory (also known more commonly as the red-shirt guy) is a long running joke. Obviously destroyed in TNG with the modification of unifom crew assignment colours

lol, "the original series, its rediculously bad"
i got into star trek with the next generation too, and I loved this moive for seeing the original series without terrible shatner acting.
and yes, even though the timeline was changed, some things were different from before the change. like pike and chekovs birthdate.
and lol "yeah, random crewman, he's gonna die"
and he was a redshirt!!!!
fpbologna 2 years ago
Yeah, there are two types of episodes for the Original Series: ridiculously bad, and amazingly timeless.

Well most of it was in another timeline so they could just make stuff up.

Liked it! Some parts were a little guy-flickish though.
Hmmm...like the really long fist-fighting scenes, or the Ahora undressing, or the Ahora running around for no reason, or the Ahora laughing at a really bad come-on joke. But mostly good- I give it 9 stars!

starship troopers+90201+star wars RotS=star trek (2009), I still enjoyed the movie it to me is good reboot and it explains the reboot in the movie...I had some problems with some things but it was a fun movie! Other remakes have failed***cough, GI Joe, cough***

TOS-the effects+TNG's firepower-TNG's brains+BOTH TOS and TNG's heart=ST09
As a Trekker and a HUGE fan of TOS and TNG equally (the other three to varying degrees) I loved the fim.
-Retains the heart and HUMOR of Trek, especially TOS, which was often VERY funny... and this movie had great humor
-Casting great, as a Chekov fan happy
-Nero thread a bit weak, but the origin of everyone makes the movie
-Reminds me of my friends and I in drama, and now THEY like Trek

Hehe, you called Scotty McCoy.
Oh Red Shirts, will you ever learn?
Did love the movie. Nice that I'm just watching this now, a few days before the DVD comes out.
Will you be buying? I will.

Yep. Agree. Destruction of Vulcan and some crazy plot coincidences all forgiven because of how much FUN this movie is.
AngryLittleBirds 2 years ago
but there was one thing unclear to me...
when enterprise was doing all that destroying nero stuff, where was the rest of star fleet that was with them went they went to vulcan?
caddog0sugar 2 years ago
They weren't supposed to go after neros ship. So they had to do it on their own.
M3ADXD 2 years ago
after i watched it again and nero said he destroyed them all
the enterprise was the only star ship that survived
caddog0sugar 2 years ago
the romance between spock and uhura was unnecessary and i really didnt like it
maybe it was to show his half humanness
but that was going to be shown when he got all mad at jim
hm. i dont know
it was okay with it in but it wasnt totally needed, in my opinion
i liked how spock was played though
well done on his part
all the characters did well i think
i thought it was strange that he found spock prime in that cave, too
but i figured it had to do with the time travel destiny type thing

Spock acts really smug. It really annoyed me that, when Spock was leaving the bridge (to beam down and rescue Vulcan's elders/his parents), Ohura questioned him and he stopped to have a lil' 'this an' that' w/ her.
WTF, Spock!!? You're the Captain!! The situation was already appraised and made known. Wait, no, wait. Ohura wants to steady her grip on your Vulcan balls. He should've (stoically) shut that lift door in her face.
Spock played like a jackass (IMO). The romance = 2 contrived.

There is a Spanish film which was recently released, TIME CRIMES. I'm not gonna claim that it's perfect. However, as a story which involves a bit of time travel, I believe it to work rather well.

Technically we can split infinitives. I know! They all lied to me too.
So we can do this when the other option 'to go boldly' just sucks.

I thought it was spectacular. Or should I say Spocktacular? *goofy grin* okay, moving on from that lame pun...it was one of the most well-done movies I've ever seen. It got me watching TOS (btw, I disagree that they are 'hilariously bad.' They are amazing, particularly for the time period.) and now I want to watch Heroes just to see more of Zachary Quinto's acting.

Hi Hank. Having grown up with the original Star Trek and ST:TNG, the "Red Shirt" character (security) was known as "Ensign Expendible" by most trekkies.

Ever noticed? In the original series, it's almost always the random crewman that is wearing the red shirt that dies. Can't remember if that was true in the movie, but oh well!

Yeah, they make jokes about that in a lot of cartoons. And it was true in the movie.
