Star Trek (2009) Review

[NCC1371]

actually the apple think wasnt really taken from wrath of kahn. JJ abrams hates people eating apples in movies and the apple thing just happened some how but if you want to be a reference go ahead.

[Weeby34]

HAHA! some of the problems these guys have with the movie make me wanna piss myself

[welovemrp00]

Why's that?

[sirNemanjapro]

Retards.

[jrnault77]

What about Gary seven and his super powered transporter.

[welovemrp00]

I never thought of that. I suppose the changes in the timeline could indeed have led them to develop a much longer range transporter.

[LestatDeBratPrince]

anyways, yeah..

was anybody else disappointed about the whole Vulcan Descends Into Blackhole thing? O.0" I spent basically the latter half of the movie after that part thinking that they were going to somehow bring it back and when they didn't...I was a little jabbed. xDDDDDD I mean GUH. Poor Spock.

[welovemrp00]

Trying to fix it would have gone against everything this movie was trying to do.

[LestatDeBratPrince]

@welovemrp00

Yeah...

Go JJ Abrams though.

[GublyGubly]

the best star trek movie ever made ??! have you even watched the others (rethorical) ?

delta vega is no where near vulcan

beeing so close to a black hole to acctualy see it would kill you.

red matter is just a silly plot devise that has never been seen before and probably will never be seen again.

warp beaming?!!

neros motivation was just silly

just to name a few

this movie was a punch to face for the fans, it says only one thing: we want a cow to milk, we dont care about the francise

[fmscribs]

Gubly,

Your right on with your comments.

Here's some more:

Black Hole is a time portal in the beginning but in the end it's used at it should...as a destructive force of nature.

Kelvin lasts a long time in a fire fight but later on Nero's ship destroys 4 star ships in less than 50 seconds.

Product placement.

Kirk was born in Iowa NOT space.

Scotty killing Archer's dog ? Did this happen just a few months ago?

Uhura and Spock's affair.

Cadet to Capt....nice advancement.

[SouthernRiprey]

No. 1 it is an alternate reality.

No. 2 Nero had 25 years to adapt his weapons to federation star-ships. Also, those ships weren't aware he was there. Thus, their shields were down.

The Kelvin's shields were up BEFORE Nero fired on it.

Alright, maybe the Cadet to Captain thingy was weird. But hey, it's only 1. -___-

[LestatDeBratPrince]

@fmscribs

scribs, I agree with the blackhole thing but have you stopped to think that Kirk was born in space because of the timeline displacement? Obviously Nero going back in time jolted something important.

anyways good review guys, and I'm glad people liked this movie. I had issues with it myself but I can pretty much overcome them for the sake of..you know..loving what Star Trek is and all that! =D

[fmscribs]

Lestat,

Sorry, I'm not a sycophant. I wanted to love this movie {hurray, they're bringing back classic Trek!} I truly did. But I couldn't get past the crappy story, lame villain, freaking lens flares, and hundreds of other faux paux.

[LestatDeBratPrince]

@fmscribs

hmm it's your choice, I suppose.

[fmscribs]

Lestat,

Your assumption is correct...it is "my choice."

[Zenutheduck]

Gubly, a lot of what you said didn't require too much thinking, and it shows. Sorry.

[GublyGubly]

I'm having a hard time, finding out wether you support my points or criticise them.

The fact that even an average viewer like me can find a long list of painfully obvious flaws, that don't require much thinking to find, even further supports my point.

If the mistakes made in the movie were so minor that only the "hardcorediest" of fans would find them, i wouldn't have problem with it.

[GublyGubly]

(woops, accidently posted before i was finished.)

If thats what you were saying all along, im sorry that i didn't get it from the start(not a native speaker^^)

[welovemrp00]

Any of the trek movies before this one (or in the entire history of the show) you'll find just as many inconsistencies, silly plot devices, weak plot points, etc...I just personally believe this was the best put together and most entertaining trek movie I've seen.

[SouthernRiprey]

To begin with, you aren't supposed to be able to see a singularity.

So screw with the tiny details and god-damned enjoy it.

[ACLTony]

I liked the action, but was overall very disappointed that the story line of "Trek" series was thrown away. IMHO, the only redeeming qualities the movie had were the actors that played Dr. McCoy and Spock, they did a great job as far as recreating the basic personality traits that Kelly and Nimoy used on the show. The actors that played Kirk and Uhura, on the other hand seemed like complete strangers.

[Neuromancer360]

aye and scotty i forgot rofl.hail budwiser.

[Neuromancer360]

plus, they could have just done an all digital cg version of star trek if they wanted to reboot, with all the original casts voices except deforest, and brought in some voice immatator for him.

[siskavard]

That is quite possibly the worst idea I have ever read. Congrats.

[Neuromancer360]

if they really wanted to reboot this, they should have done something with the time travel element in enterprise and have them able to visit all the series. that would have been pimp and made me drink less, they can cg arnold in t4, they can cg all the actors in all the older series.

[Neuromancer360]

hail budwiser. anymore i just want to drink bud after sequels and the thought of, especially after they drop the great music out of the franchise like terminator, james bond. movie was ok, terrible soundtrack. you guys need to warn of spoilers doing reviews thou lol.

[ART1975CZ]

Bud is made in " Belgium " now  !

[TheSolitaryPoet]

I wonder how many people got the Enterprise reference? Scottie getting sent to Delta Vega by Archer for killing his cat. I guess beagles still dont live longer in the future.

[Exverlobter]

This movie killed original Star Trek!!

[welovemrp00]

Only a fool would think that anything could kill the original Star Trek. The only thing this movie did was give new life and new appeal to a franchise that had hit it's peak 40 years ago.

[Danny77uk]

"to a franchise that had hit it's peak 40 years ago."

How can you say that? The original short-run show was cancelled and only became a hit in re-runs in the 70s. StarTrek hit its peak in the 90s with TNG, DS9, VOY and all the spin-offs and movies. That was when ST was re-invented with new crews and stories; the difference is they respected canon and didn't change the past.

The film was like the SW prequels - lots of contrived, pointless action. The product placement and sets were cheap.

[welovemrp00]

I have a really long thought out argument to your statement here, but I don't feel like typing it out.

IM me or something if you really care to hear it.

[dkcot]

BOSCO

[thebosco]

Hi!

[greenpenguino]

lol orions

[theflash182]

I thought he pulled another gun out of the romulans belt. I'll have to watch it again.

[tsthunt]

I agree. I never thought it was the blaster on the floor.

Another reference was to Enterprise and Porthos.

[shedininja001]

Wow was not expecting that rating :D

[theangrymoviedork]

I think it's a prequel, who knows, all I know is that's it's awsome. Go Star Trek XI

[thebosco]

Choice.
