The movie sucked. No question. The story was awful. The acting of the "new kids on the Enterprise" was horrible. The only light in that dark tunnel were Karl Urban and of course Leonard. Thank you Karl for making ST XI a little more tolerable.
I'd like to start off saying I love this movie, and Bones overall. But I found another difference between this Bones and the other. In The Original Series Bones couldn't do the Vulcan salute, but here, at the end, we clearly see him doing the Vulcan salute.
I still haven't stopped watching it!! I thought they were all excellent and I hope they do a series of new stories with the new crew. I know hundreds of Trekkies, Trekkers, whatever who feel the same way!!
In many ways, he probably had the toughest task in recreating a character. No disrespect to the rest of the fine cast, but McCoy was so specific in his HUMAN emotions and speech, that role could've tanked very hard.
I thought Mr. Urban was able to channel the energy of his counterpart, Deforest Kelley, the most out of the Kirk-Spock-McCoy triangle. He did a fantastic job, and I could hear Kelley's McCoy coming out through him the entire movie. He did a wonderful job :)
A fine actor in a fine performance in a TURD of a movie, a pure emotionless glassy action romp selling itself on a young-stud bromance angle, a sassy black chick angle, pure BS
Karl Urban was a pleasant Curve Ball from Left Field in his Portrayal as Dr. Mc'Coy. His characterization was dramatic and dramatic. This demonstrates his range of acting skill. I saw him in Lord of the Rings on opening night and he was more than the part he played there.
As Dr. Mc'Coy on future missions he expanded the depth character and showed Mc'Coy's undisplayed skills.
Dr. Mc'Coy was like the kind uncle who would never yell at you when you were at his house. He will become # 1
Good choice for Bones but he could never replace Deforest he just can follow! R.I.P. Deforest, you´ve alway been and allways will be the best "highest illogical, red-blooded, old country doctor" from here to the Neutral Zone!
body type, and I like the guy as an actor, but he's older now (54) than Kelley was (49) when TOS ended. Abrams was going for a young cast, younger than the original; Urban is 17 yrs younger than Sinese. Wish Sinese had been younger, but I was very happy with Urban's portrayal of my favorite TOS character.
I love this man. He is awesome in almost everything he's in. Can't say everything he's in is awesome *cough*Doom*cough* but he manages to be awesome even in crappy movies.
He really was 'McCoy' in this movie!!! He was a better actor than everyone else...I really thought I was watching Deforest Kelley in every scene....he stole the show!!!
you know i watched star trek reboot, not knowing it was KArl urban at the time playing bones cause all I can think about is Damn Bones is hot and kept telling my friend in the seat next to me till she told me to shut up XD I love kiwi Karl just as much as I lvoe Johnny Depp and trust me that is a lot.
I don't care how awesome Urban is, DeForest Kelley IS Dr. McCoy, no one else can possible come close to his awesomeness. Plus, his eyebrow raise is classic, and Urban doesn;t have those odd U eyebrows.
Karl Urban did a great job as McCoy. But seeing this reminds me that I believe (without checking) Mr. Urban played the KGB agent trying to kill Jason Bourne in the Bourne Supremacy.
You have no idea what your talking about. I don't even know why you are insulting me! (Probably because I don't take time to remember meaningless conversations on youtube.) However, yeah we are both failing hard for even arguing online. No one really wins.
On the contrary, I do. I'm insulting you because you deserve it. YOU are failing hard for being a stupid brat. I don't care about winning; I care about giving you the hard time you earned for yourself.
I haven't seen this film yet, perhaps I'm one of the few. To comment...ST was never about hype, Gene Rodenberry's vision was not always fighting an enemy, more of an engagement of minds much to his credit. So wher is Gene in all of this?
Turner: I agree with you. The only problem is, since Berman & Co. drove the Post-Roddenberry Trek off the rails, it required a reboot. Think of the new movie as the opportunity to open the Star Trek door to generations of fans who never cared about Star Trek's vision of the future. Now that the "Intro" is over, hopefully in the next movie, they'll get back to what made Trek special. Gene's vision can be repackaged for kids who never knew what we Trekkers & Trekkies grew up with. Baby steps.
You have a point, but I think you'll like it anyway, if you see it. It's perhaps not the best new Star Trek movie that a new Star Trek movie could be, but I certainly felt that it was well above average for a recent hollywood movie.
Ok, yes I have taken that on board (scuse the pun) just have to get to the bloody cinema! which is harder than you think, might be box office statistics..ie which bus do you get?
It was a very good movie, and captured the spirit of the show very nicely. Everyone played their roles just about perfectly and I hope to see another movie to follow it; while The Voyage Home will always be my favorite Trek movie, this one was right up there, imo.
This movie was really good in my opinion because they used original lines from the show. The lines we all remember and love. People who see this movie and never saw the Original series will get what's going on ad people who like me have been watching since we were sitting on our father's lap will appreciate how well it was made. The characters were really good, the story was great, and it was all around enjoyable. GET OVER YOUR SELF CENTERED EGOS AND KEEP YOUR CRAP TO YOURSELVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay. I have been reading the comments on this video and I have to say that your all going WAY too far with this. This Star Trek movie was meant to be set in an alternate reality. MEANING that DUH! of course it is going to be different from the original Star Trek show because it is set DIFFERENTLY. People who didn't like this movie are entitled to their opinion, I may not think they're right but IT IS THEY'RE OPINION!!!!
Okay, kiddies. 40-YEAR STAR TREK FAN HERE. The new movie ROCKS. Yeah, there are new actors in the old roles. This is bad how, exactly? The only roles in drama that get recast with new actors are the SUCCESSFUL ones. If you'd rather see the old cast, all the old stuff is still there!
The movie is a brilliant re-imagining. It's fun, sexy, and NOT BORING. (I gave up after TNG, and I didn't even like that much.) I hope there are more, because...DAMN.
SOMETHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO U AT 9:10 SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU OR TALK TO YOU ONLINE AND SAY I LOVE YOU OR ASK YOU OUT BUT HERES THE CATCH Send To 3 vids
I admit it, I'm too young to be a genuine Trekkie. I can't speak Klingon and when I stepped into the theater, the only character I really recognized was Spock. That said, I love this movie, Bones is my favorite character, and I've spent the past few days trying to catch up with the original series. Without this movie, I never would have cared to watch the classics, so I owe it that much. In any case, it beats the new Star Wars and X-men movies, so I don't know why people are complaining.
Amen sista (sista?)!!! I'm right there with you. I've heard some of the more popular lines (i.e. Live long and prosper. He's dead Jim. etc...) and only knew Spock but I never could get into this. Thanks to the movie I've started watching TOS and actually love the characters of that one as much, if not more, than the ones of the movie. You get to see more of what makes them tick. And now I know Star Wars was ripped off...and am a tad disappointed... :(
TheRentschmeister: yes i understand that all trekkies/trekkers didnt bitch about it. but i was reffereing to those who did. and yes i am with you....you are absolutely correct.
this movie was awesome and ive been a trekkie since i can remember.....im 15 and i wanted all my other friends to be able to enjoy star trek...and all you "trekkies" who are bitching about it: GET A DAMN LIFE. YOU PEOPLE ARE THE REASON EVERYONE ELSE AUTOMATICALLY ASSUMES TREKKIES ARE 45 YEAR OLD VIRGIN NERDS WHO LIVE IN A BASEMENT. IN OTHER WORDS, GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS.
Striker: Not all Trekkies (or in my case Trekkers) bitch about the new movie. There are many of us who understand that Berman & Co. KILLED Star Trek and that it needed to be resurrected. They hate the fact that the movie needed a generic reboot to get Trek back on track. They hate the fact that this movie has been the most SUCCESSFUL Star Trek Movie EVER this fast in the cinemas. These pukes hate the fact the movie's success shows people LOVE IT.
This is rather short-sighted, dontcha think? Trekkies hate this movie because it was successful? Please, I like to think the general Trek fandom is a little more open-minded than that. If they hate it, it's because they genuinely did not like it for itself, not because of the circumstances surrounding its creation and success.
Human nature is human nature. The typical Human abhors change. Throughout the years I've spent watching Trek, Who, etc. it is always the same song and dance. "This guy isn't as good as that guy" or "that storyline is too soapy". To take your "insight" into perspective,if someone simply "hates" the new Trek because from their perch on Mt. Olympus it isn't "up to snuff" where are they cheering the fact that the VISION of Roddenberry's view of humanity's future CONTINUES i.e. not killed by Berman?
I am a die hard original Star Trek fan. I didn't like the movie - it was a bit too much to accept what they have done with the "Star Trek universe" - but however, I have to say Carl did a wonderful job as McCoy - he really pulled it off. His was the best effort. I cringed at Simon Pegg's Scotty - was it all a big joke or something? Total flunk JJ on that one! The rest were "ok" but Carl's McCoy was a work of art. Brilliant, mate!
I actually really enjoyed Scotty, and all the characters except for Kirk. He was really annoying, particularly in the Kobayashi Maru scenario. And I don't think Spock would've been that easy to goad.
What I didn't like were some of the major plot points, and the complete lack of respect for science killed any credibility the movie had.
"and I don't think Spock would've been that easy to goad" Really??? Yet again, as Trek has done COUNTLESS TIMES when the PAST IS CHANGED -----ALL------ events that are related in the future are CHANGED (Temporal Prime Directive anyone?) Nero on his Borg/Romulan hybrid ship changed the Federations FUTURE by changing it's past, thereby affecting COUNTLESS lives. "Complete lack of respect for science" Yes, it was better to leave Trek murdered by Berman & Co. No need to reboot when you have reruns?
Yeah, I see your point. The one other thing that annoyed me was that the Enterprise engine room was very cartoonish - a never ending vista of PIPES - WTF? And the bridge was too overboard with lights and LEDs How could anybody on that ship get any work done - not very work freindly, unlike the TV series bridge.
I am an old trekker, but i must admit that Karl made a fantastic job and he is telling the truth. New Star Trek is not only for old funs but for new too....
Urban is one fine actor. The best two scenes, which he recaptured the original McCoy were the first encounter with Kirk, and the short conversation with Spock, 'Are you our of your Vulcan mind!?"
Urban did capture the expressions of De Forest very nicely. Before they had the casting of the new film, I always envisage Gary Sinise as McCoy. But seems like Karl Urban did a very very good job.
I respect that. However I'd rank 3 and 6 ahead of this one as well as 2 and 4. Ditto for "First Contact". So I'd say maybe the fifth best Trek film? 5 out of 11 ain't bad.
Amen. "Wrath of Khan" is the true High Point of the Star Trek franchise. "Nemesis" tried to clone it. This film's weak spot is they needed a villain as memorable as Khan but Nero was flat. Not only was he no Khan he was no Chang, Kluge or Q. That and Pine's weak Kirk where the films weak spots. Still an enjoyable movie however and a decent start for Trek 2.0.
Who should play Khan if they remake The Space Seed storyline? In reality they should get a real Indian. (Bollywood would have many prime candidates) However lets go for stunt casting! Either Antonio Banderas or Wilmer Valderrama!
I think Tim Allen would make a great Khan !!! but it would not work since Kirk and Khan had about the same age so they would have to go with a younger actor.
Tim Allen did a absolutely BRILLIANT rift on Shatner in "Galaxy Quest" (the best Trek film since "Undiscovered Country" even if it's not really a Trek film!) but how the hell do you see him as Khan? Even in a comedy skit? Although Dana Carvey did a hilarious Khan on SNL. P. S. I want Galaxy Quest 2!!!
I think the new Star Trek movie was a brilliant move from the writers! To take us down a path that parallels what we've known for 43 years and create an open door for a future with characters we've loved and developed expected reactions from while still maintaining the true trek experience... Brilliant! I expect to see many more movies from this "new" crew and their untold future...
"Star Trek is ballistic, it's sexy and it's BACK."
Absolutely the best thing about the new movie is that it's brought the sexy style of The Original Series back after an absence of nearly 40 years. This is what has re-ignited the franchise and I think if JJ can embrace this while also concentrating on the cerebral aspects of the franchise, we'll be onto a winner.
I just knew he was a lifelong Trekkie- he seemed to really get the Bones character on an elemental level. I LOVED Karl Urban in the new movie! DeForrest Kelley can be proud to have such a successor to his role.
He did an awesome job honestly I'm looking forward to a revitalised franchise with this group, REALLY kickass and a great premise for a new TV show even.
I loved the scenes where he was going : "I can fix this, I can fix this!" lollll
As a die-hard TOS fan, I was not expecting to like this movie at all. How they presented it was brilliant. Now I don't have to care that the bridge isn't the same or the uniforms aren't the same and all that. As much as I appreciated to the extremes they went to recreate the TOS bridge in TNG and ENT, I enjoyed the newness of this movie.
By far Karl's McCoy was the best character in the movie. It was like Deforest himself was channeling McCoy right into him. Karl is the star of this movie.
So I take it you didn't like the movie? Or have you even watched it?
All kidding aside, I thought it was a good movie. I enjoyed it and I'm a big fan of the original series. The film had a different feel to it I admit, But the way I see it, if I can accept all the other incarnations of Star Trek, I see no reason not to accept this one.
My sentiments exactly. The very nature of Star Trek encourages the embracing of change. It's almost difficult to fully enjoy Star Trek without keeping an open mind.
What are you bitchin about? It's not like J.J. can go back in time, and hijack the original cast, bring them to the future and star them in this film.
This was a good start to reigniting the franchise! Which is WHAT WAS NEEDED after the shit that was known as the "Generations" films, and that sad crap that was "ENTERPRISE".
Take it at face value, enjoy it, and stop over-ANAL-izing it. enjoy it for what it is, a story that stands on it's own regardless if you have seen a Star Trek film before.
I was not over analyzing this film. I have been watching "Star Trek" since September 8, 1966. "Face value?" It was a science fiction film that contained elements of "Star Trek." That's where the similarity ends. Besides there were WAY too many plot holes. A cadet fresh out of the academy is made captain of the flagship? This Kirk might have been honored with a medal and a parade for his daring do, but never his own ship.
Dude, even according to Trek History, BEFORE this film, James Tyberius Kirk was the Youngest Man in starfleet to be promoted to Captain. Thats cannon. They showed you the Kobyashi Maru and how he beat it. thats cannon. There was TONS of story referencing throughout, but keep in mind there's only so much story you can tell in about 2 hours. My only complaint was it wasn't long enough. I'm sorry you didn't have a good time and enjoy it. Everyone i know did, and i'm taking my mom to see it!
Well, the issue is moot anyway, because Nero's time travel created the parallel universe in which the events of the movie take place. The universe in which the original Star Trek exists still exist, this universe i parallel, with some differences. So this one can stand alone and they can change things, and retain some canon items. But it's also a new sandbox to play in.
Technically Yes, but if you remember Doctor Browns Explaination of Time travel from back to the future, time has been altered from a particular point in space, so if you go forward, it will be the future of that fracture. The only way to repair the timeline is to travel back to the instant that Nero showed up, and erase his interference with history.
Besides, where the hell was Daniels at? Why didnt Star Fleet send him back to fix it like he did in Enterprise (Snicker Snicker).
Oh yeah that's right, he's still fighting that whole Temporal-Cold war by His self.... HAHAHA
Now THAT was the biggest Star Trek joke in History! Temporal Cold War indeed...
What i cant explain... is that regardless of what series, the whole Mirror Universe eps are considered to be the very best of Trek anyway, why hasn't some hollywood moron capitolized on that and made a "mirror, mirror" series?! Inquiring minds want to know...
The first two seasons of Enterprise had only a few jewels in its run. I particularly liked "Cogenitor" and was surprised at how much I liked "Regeneration." The third season was excellent, and really captures what Star Trek is all about. The fourth topped that with so many homages to the rest of the Trek universe. I thank them so much for adding Trek novelists to the writing staff. But it was too little too late, so it was canceled.

So it would have been better to leave Roddenberry's vision lying dead on the floor in a pool of it's own blood, murdered by Berman & Co.? A "Generic" reboot to make the Franchise actually be on the entertainment radar of generations of young people who never watched nor ever gave a damn about the original & later series wasn't a good idea? Better to do a "High Brow" Trek all wrapped up in smug awareness & wisdom that the poor general public will NEVER appreciate like the Old Guard? Old Trek=$?
Yeah right, dude! Enterprise was a Lumbering Dinosaur. It was too "family" and cutesy oriented, with shows like "Lost", "Law and Order", and "CSI" playing to the more adult crowd. Face it, you make a show only kids will watch and thats all you get as viewers Especially when Dad has the remote.
FARSCAPE was a much better show than Enterprise ever thought about being. Or Stargate SG-1/Atlantis for that matter.

"The rest of it may as well be a shit stain in your underwear" I have to slightly disagree. Any episode that featured a scantily clad Jolene Blalock in the Decontamination Chamber on the Enterprise made that episode watchable, particularly in HD with the DVR for appropriate pauses for image appreciation purposes. LOL!
Dude, if you think appreciating a beautiful females body means that someone "needs to get laid".........that illustrates that you actually don't get laid very often.

The sense of humor was what came into play when I checked your channel. Unlike you, I know that chicks really dig guys in uniform (Psst! Not Star Wars outfits, just a hint!) Oh, sorry, just "joking"
Joke away. Oh and we all know how much tail dressing in your Star Trek jammies... I mean "uniform" can get you! Besides I've never wore an "outfit" except for Halloween or a movie.
Unless you mean a genuine military uniform then I can say more power to ya. My grandfathers where WWII Heroes and my Dad served in 'Nam so I have respect for Our Troops. I would have served but bad shit happened. (If you saw my channel you'll know what I mean.) Boy this got serious all of a sudden..lol
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Perhaps in the future when "joking" with someone, it is better to end the statement that could be interpreted as a "Hostile Act" towards someone who ACTUALLY DOES WEAR A UNIFORM FOR A LIVING (Psst! I even have medals!) as "just joking". Never know, next time you are in a car accident, it might be me cutting you out of your car..........I don't sit up all night for shits & giggles. As long as my Duty Captain isn't around, I surf the net, till the alarm goes of, then its -GO- time.
"Shits N Giggles" is what YouTube is about And while I respect that you serve, (I honestly do) WTF does that have to do with anything? And how is saying "you need to get laid" a "HOSTILE ACT"? Are you THAT insecure about your manhood? Has showering with naked men made you so confused you can't take a little joke so that's why you need to play the BIG HERO FIREMAN card? BTW REAL HEROES don't have to beat their chest and shout it out, although it's obvious why you feel the need to...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Listen Felcher, seriously, I get the fact that you don't get to experience much beyond yourself in a naked state. Don't throw the "Hero" card around since you obviously don't know what it means. Again, in MY WORLD when something is meant as a joke YOU SAY IT IS A JOKE. Don't really want to hear about your Naked Men Showering fantasies. I'll stick with "Fake Tits" & "Collagen Lips" you disdain so much, last fundraiser I went to at the Playboy Club, those "fake" girls & I got along just fine....
Your the one who played the Hero card with this "I'm a Hero fireman so how dare you make fun of me" I come from a family of war vets. None of them ever bragged about it. I didn't even know about my grandfather's medals for heroism until he passed . - If you need to be told when someone is joking your an idiot. And for going all nuts over a little joke, how insecure are you? Only the insecure need to brag about supposed heroic and sexual exploits. It's called posturing, look it up.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Got news for you Captain Douche, I encourage you to illustrate where I ever used the word "Hero" other than in response to your using of the word. Both my military service and my work in the Fire Service are my life, not yours. Again, perhaps you would like to avail us to more of your homo-erotic fantasies about showering with the guys, I'll stick with the ladies. But hey, not that there's anything wrong with it. If we all liked vanilla, what a boring world it would be. Have fun Bruno.
So saying you need to get laid (and what guy doesn't?) is a "Hostile Attack" but it's kosher for you to call me Douch, Felcher and Bruno? Gee you're the one who seems to be obsessed with homosexuality while claiming you *love* the ladies. Your right about one thing (semantically), you didn't use the WORD "Hero", you just started bragging about supposedly being a fireman/ex-service man "with medals" - which in no way pertained to the conversation. -You bore me. Have fun in fantasy land.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Please, spare us with more of your Homo-erotic fantasies. One has but to look at your Male Shower references to see past your facade. Perhaps you'll dazzle us with more talk about your Grandfather's service to his country? Yet, oddly nothing to represent yourself? Too much temptation in the "Group Shower Scene"?Don't worry big fella, there are Clubs you can go to live out your fantasy if you can't make it happen at home.Going back to the real world,Bruno, stay safe, hint: less shots to the face.
You the one who keeps bringing up homosexuality. I made one allusion it mentioning you shower with men (which if you are a fireman, you do.) and no more. Sounds like your projecting your own fantasies.( I didn't even know what a "felcher" is until I looked it up. It's telling that you know.) Your really quite childish, it's comical. Unlike you I I don't care what some wanker says about me, I just love getting under the skin of a self-obsessed assholes like you.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
"Unlike you I don't care what some wanker says about me" Ironic coming from the King of Wankers or is it Emperor Wanker? Thou dost protest too much, me thinks......... It's okay, I've dealt with your kind over the years. Your intellectual as well as apparently psychological limitations are painfully apparent to all. So fixated on men showering. Fantasies about group showering. Strange. Particularly in this day and age of a two gender Fire Service. Wait a minute...I think I know the problem!
As for my grandfather's service. I mentioned it to illustrate how a TRUE decorated Hero doesn't go around bragging about it. While he told me stories about the war he never mentioned his heroism or his medals. Just like how my dad doesn't go around telling everyone he was in 'Nam when it doesn't pertain to the conversation. I can safely say your a fraud. no one with your supposed background would be so pathetic. Your an insult to our real Heroes and I've known quite a few.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Perhaps the problem is you hate the ladies hence the fixation on men? That would explain a great deal. Blathering on about Granddad & Daddy's medals and service and yet, you have to offer........what? PonyBoys Inc.? Felchers-r-Us? Again, don't be ashamed of your day job, not everyone is cut out to risk their lives for strangers. It's okay!You guys even have parades, right?Don't tell me, you a Bay Area "Fella"?That would explain much. I'd talk to your Shrink about your issues though. Bye Bruno!
You're the one that has the fixation on homosexuality. Quite the charade, the only way you've ever risked your life is to post all this repetitive crap pass your bedtime. However I will be the bigger man. I'm sorry that in my OP I insinuated you would want to have sex with a real woman, you much prefer to vocalize how hot plastic chicks are and then project your gay tendencies on others. Your nonsense is getting terribly repetitive and I've exposed you for the fraud you are so I'm done. Adios.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Bruno, now you have fixations with "Plastic People"? Your own kind turn you down? Damn, can't you get a break? Oh well, sooner or later another Parade will come a long. Sure you'll meet a new "Friend" then (even if he is plastic). Again, don't be upset. Be PROUD of what you are. Not everyone is meant to be a life saver. Just don't treat every guy you meet as a "Lifesaver" (wink wink). Have fun & especially remember Stay "Safe"! You know what I mean! ByeBye Now!
You actually think calling me names and repetitively making assertions that I'm a homosexual is going to bother me? What are you, twelve? (If not physically then emotionally and psychologically.) In fact I'll give you a thrill. I'M GAY! I LOVE THE C*** And since I'm gay I have Gaydar and it's clear your a closet case! Since your so obsessed with my sexuality I'll let you toss my salad and fulfill those burning desires you have for me. Mess your pants yet little guy? (Apologies to any real gays)

Gee, for a Queen, you sure are angry. Most are generally more gregarious. Sad that you continue to heap upon us your sick, perverted fantasies. On the bright side, as a Libertarian, I am more than happy to allow you the freedom to explore your darker desires in the security of your home. However, flamboyantly bothering us with your PonyBoy races, Hot Lunch Olympics, Felching Races, PlasticMan fantasies are bit overboard. Perhaps if you weren't so obsessed with self-abuse, things would be better?
The movie sucked. No question. The story was awful. The acting of the "new kids on the Enterprise" was horrible. The only light in that dark tunnel were Karl Urban and of course Leonard. Thank you Karl for making ST XI a little more tolerable.

In many ways, he probably had the toughest task in recreating a character. No disrespect to the rest of the fine cast, but McCoy was so specific in his HUMAN emotions and speech, that role could've tanked very hard.

Sinese resembles Kelley more facially and in
body type, and I like the guy as an actor, but he's older now (54) than Kelley was (49) when TOS ended. Abrams was going for a young cast, younger than the original; Urban is 17 yrs younger than Sinese. Wish Sinese had been younger, but I was very happy with Urban's portrayal of my favorite TOS character.
Not that he can replace De . . . .

I don't care how awesome Urban is, DeForest Kelley IS Dr. McCoy, no one else can possible come close to his awesomeness. Plus, his eyebrow raise is classic, and Urban doesn;t have those odd U eyebrows.

I don't know, Urban did an amazing job. Captured the essence of Dr. McCoy beautifully, just as the other actors nailed their characters.

I haven't seen this film yet, perhaps I'm one of the few. To comment...ST was never about hype, Gene Rodenberry's vision was not always fighting an enemy, more of an engagement of minds much to his credit. So wher is Gene in all of this?
YKTurner1 2 years ago
Turner: I agree with you. The only problem is, since Berman & Co. drove the Post-Roddenberry Trek off the rails, it required a reboot. Think of the new movie as the opportunity to open the Star Trek door to generations of fans who never cared about Star Trek's vision of the future. Now that the "Intro" is over, hopefully in the next movie, they'll get back to what made Trek special. Gene's vision can be repackaged for kids who never knew what we Trekkers & Trekkies grew up with. Baby steps.

I admit it, I'm too young to be a genuine Trekkie. I can't speak Klingon and when I stepped into the theater, the only character I really recognized was Spock. That said, I love this movie, Bones is my favorite character, and I've spent the past few days trying to catch up with the original series. Without this movie, I never would have cared to watch the classics, so I owe it that much. In any case, it beats the new Star Wars and X-men movies, so I don't know why people are complaining.

These pukes hate the fact the movie's success shows people LOVE IT.

This is rather short-sighted, dontcha think? Trekkies hate this movie because it was successful? Please, I like to think the general Trek fandom is a little more open-minded than that. If they hate it, it's because they genuinely did not like it for itself, not because of the circumstances surrounding its creation and success.

Human nature is human nature. The typical Human abhors change. Throughout the years I've spent watching Trek, Who, etc. it is always the same song and dance. "This guy isn't as good as that guy" or "that storyline is too soapy". To take your "insight" into perspective,if someone simply "hates" the new Trek because from their perch on Mt. Olympus it isn't "up to snuff" where are they cheering the fact that the VISION of Roddenberry's view of humanity's future CONTINUES i.e. not killed by Berman?

I am a die hard original Star Trek fan. I didn't like the movie - it was a bit too much to accept what they have done with the "Star Trek universe" - but however, I have to say Carl did a wonderful job as McCoy - he really pulled it off. His was the best effort. I cringed at Simon Pegg's Scotty - was it all a big joke or something? Total flunk JJ on that one! The rest were "ok" but Carl's McCoy was a work of art. Brilliant, mate!
SUPPORTsanity 2 years ago
I actually really enjoyed Scotty, and all the characters except for Kirk. He was really annoying, particularly in the Kobayashi Maru scenario. And I don't think Spock would've been that easy to goad.
What I didn't like were some of the major plot points, and the complete lack of respect for science killed any credibility the movie had.
It was still a fun ride if I turned my brain off.
tgbotg 2 years ago
"and I don't think Spock would've been that easy to goad" Really??? Yet again, as Trek has done COUNTLESS TIMES when the PAST IS CHANGED -----ALL------ events that are related in the future are CHANGED (Temporal Prime Directive anyone?) Nero on his Borg/Romulan hybrid ship changed the Federations FUTURE by changing it's past, thereby affecting COUNTLESS lives. "Complete lack of respect for science" Yes, it was better to leave Trek murdered by Berman & Co. No need to reboot when you have reruns?
TheRentschmeister 2 years ago
Yeah, I see your point. The one other thing that annoyed me was that the Enterprise engine room was very cartoonish - a never ending vista of PIPES - WTF?

Urban is one fine actor. The best two scenes, which he recaptured the original McCoy were the first encounter with Kirk, and the short conversation with Spock, 'Are you our of your Vulcan mind!?"

Amen. "Wrath of Khan" is the true High Point of the Star Trek franchise. "Nemesis" tried to clone it. This film's weak spot is they needed a villain as memorable as Khan but Nero was flat. Not only was he no Khan he was no Chang, Kluge or Q. That and Pine's weak Kirk where the films weak spots. Still an enjoyable movie however and a decent start for Trek 2.0.
JMYodaTHX 2 years ago 5
Who should play Khan if they remake The Space Seed storyline? In reality they should get a real Indian. (Bollywood would have many prime candidates) However lets go for stunt casting! Either Antonio Banderas or Wilmer Valderrama!

"Star Trek is ballistic, it's sexy and it's BACK."
Absolutely the best thing about the new movie is that it's brought the sexy style of The Original Series back after an absence of nearly 40 years. This is what has re-ignited the franchise and I think if JJ can embrace this while also concentrating on the cerebral aspects of the franchise, we'll be onto a winner.

As much as I appreciated to the extremes they went to recreate the TOS bridge in TNG and ENT, I enjoyed the newness of this movie.
By far Karl's McCoy was the best character in the movie. It was like Deforest himself was channeling McCoy right into him. Karl is the star of this movie.

What are you bitchin about? It's not like J.J. can go back in time, and hijack the original cast, bring them to the future and star them in this film.
This was a good start to reigniting the franchise! Which is WHAT WAS NEEDED after the shit that was known as the "Generations" films, and that sad crap that was "ENTERPRISE".
Take it at face value, enjoy it, and stop over-ANAL-izing it. enjoy it for what it is, a story that stands on it's own regardless if you have seen a Star Trek film before.
LordBicen 2 years ago 2
I was not over analyzing this film. I have been watching "Star Trek" since September 8, 1966. "Face value?" It was a science fiction film that contained elements of "Star Trek." That's where the similarity ends. Besides there were WAY too many plot holes. A cadet fresh out of the academy is made captain of the flagship? This Kirk might have been honored with a medal and a parade for his daring do, but never his own ship.
Can you tell that I did not like this film?
Actionguy1 2 years ago 2
Dude, even according to Trek History, BEFORE this film, James Tyberius Kirk was the Youngest Man in starfleet to be promoted to Captain. Thats cannon. They showed you the Kobyashi Maru and how he beat it. thats cannon. There was TONS of story referencing throughout, but keep in mind there's only so much story you can tell in about 2 hours. My only complaint was it wasn't long enough. I'm sorry you didn't have a good time and enjoy it. Everyone i know did, and i'm taking my mom to see it!
LordBicen 2 years ago
Well, the issue is moot anyway, because Nero's time travel created the parallel universe in which the events of the movie take place. The universe in which the original Star Trek exists still exist, this universe i parallel, with some differences. So this one can stand alone and they can change things, and retain some canon items. But it's also a new sandbox to play in.

Technically Yes, but if you remember Doctor Browns Explaination of Time travel from back to the future, time has been altered from a particular point in space, so if you go forward, it will be the future of that fracture.

I thank them so much for adding Trek novelists to the writing staff. But it was too little too late, so it was canceled.

So it would have been better to leave Roddenberry's vision lying dead on the floor in a pool of it's own blood, murdered by Berman & Co.? A "Generic" reboot to make the Franchise actually be on the entertainment radar of generations of young people who never watched nor ever gave a damn about the original & later series wasn't a good idea? Better to do a "High Brow" Trek all wrapped up in smug awareness & wisdom that the poor general public will NEVER appreciate like the Old Guard? Old Trek=$?

"The rest of it may as well be a shit stain in your underwear" I have to slightly disagree.

Again, in MY WORLD when something is meant as a joke YOU SAY IT IS A JOKE. Don't really want to hear about your Naked Men Showering fantasies. I'll stick with "Fake Tits" & "Collagen Lips" you disdain so much, last fundraiser I went to at the Playboy Club, those "fake" girls & I got along just fine....

Your the one who played the Hero card with this "I'm a Hero fireman so how dare you make fun of me" I come from a family of war vets. None of them ever bragged about it. I didn't even know about my grandfather's medals for heroism until he passed . - If you need to be told when someone is joking your an idiot. And for going all nuts over a little joke, how insecure are you? Only the insecure need to brag about supposed heroic and sexual exploits. It's called posturing, look it up.

Got news for you Captain Douche, I encourage you to illustrate where I ever used the word "Hero" other than in response to your using of the word. Both my military service and my work in the Fire Service are my life, not yours. Again, perhaps you would like to avail us to more of your homo-erotic fantasies about showering with the guys, I'll stick with the ladies. But hey, not that there's anything wrong with it. If we all liked vanilla, what a boring world it would be. Have fun Bruno.

So saying you need to get laid (and what guy doesn't?) is a "Hostile Attack" but it's kosher for you to call me Douch, Felcher and Bruno? Gee you're the one who seems to be obsessed with homosexuality while claiming you *love* the ladies. Your right about one thing (semantically), you didn't use the WORD "Hero", you just started bragging about supposedly being a fireman/ex-service man "with medals" - which in no way pertained to the conversation. -You bore me. Have fun in fantasy land.

Please, spare us with more of your Homo-erotic fantasies. One has but to look at your Male Shower references to see past your facade. Perhaps you'll dazzle us with more talk about your Grandfather's service to his country? Yet, oddly nothing to represent yourself? Too much temptation in the "Group Shower Scene"?Don't worry big fella, there are Clubs you can go to live out your fantasy if you can't make it happen at home.Going back to the real world,Bruno, stay safe, hint: less shots to the face.

You the one who keeps bringing up homosexuality. I made one allusion it mentioning you shower with men (which if you are a fireman, you do.) and no more. Sounds like your projecting your own fantasies.( I didn't even know what a "felcher" is until I looked it up. It's telling that you know.) Your really quite childish, it's comical. Unlike you I I don't care what some wanker says about me, I just love getting under the skin of a self-obsessed assholes like you.

"Unlike you I don't care what some wanker says about me" Ironic coming from the King of Wankers or is it Emperor Wanker? Thou dost protest too much, me thinks......... It's okay, I've dealt with your kind over the years. Your intellectual as well as apparently psychological limitations are painfully apparent to all. So fixated on men showering. Fantasies about group showering. Strange. Particularly in this day and age of a two gender Fire Service. Wait a minute...I think I know the problem!

As for my grandfather's service. I mentioned it to illustrate how a TRUE decorated Hero doesn't go around bragging about it. While he told me stories about the war he never mentioned his heroism or his medals. Just like how my dad doesn't go around telling everyone he was in 'Nam when it doesn't pertain to the conversation. I can safely say your a fraud. no one with your supposed background would be so pathetic. Your an insult to our real Heroes and I've known quite a few.

Perhaps the problem is you hate the ladies hence the fixation on men? That would explain a great deal. Blathering on about Granddad & Daddy's medals and service and yet, you have to offer........what? PonyBoys Inc.? Felchers-r-Us? Again, don't be ashamed of your day job, not everyone is cut out to risk their lives for strangers. It's okay!You guys even have parades, right?Don't tell me, you a Bay Area "Fella"?That would explain much. I'd talk to your Shrink about your issues though. Bye Bruno!

You're the one that has the fixation on homosexuality. Quite the charade, the only way you've ever risked your life is to post all this repetitive crap pass your bedtime. However I will be the bigger man. I'm sorry that in my OP I insinuated you would want to have sex with a real woman, you much prefer to vocalize how hot plastic chicks are and then project your gay tendencies on others. Your nonsense is getting terribly repetitive and I've exposed you for the fraud you are so I'm done. Adios.

Bruno, now you have fixations with "Plastic People"? Your own kind turn you down? Damn, can't you get a break? Oh well, sooner or later another Parade will come a long. Sure you'll meet a new "Friend" then (even if he is plastic). Again, don't be upset. Be PROUD of what you are. Not everyone is meant to be a life saver. Just don't treat every guy you meet as a "Lifesaver" (wink wink). Have fun & especially remember Stay "Safe"! You know what I mean! ByeBye Now!

You actually think calling me names and repetitively making assertions that I'm a homosexual is going to bother me? What are you, twelve? (If not physically then emotionally and psychologically.) In fact I'll give you a thrill. I'M GAY! I LOVE THE C*** And since I'm gay I have Gaydar and it's clear your a closet case! Since your so obsessed with my sexuality I'll let you toss my salad and fulfill those burning desires you have for me. Mess your pants yet little guy? (Apologies to any real gays)

Gee, for a Queen, you sure are angry. Most are generally more gregarious. Sad that you continue to heap upon us your sick, perverted fantasies. On the bright side, as a Libertarian, I am more than happy to allow you the freedom to explore your darker desires in the security of your home. However, flamboyantly bothering us with your PonyBoy races, Hot Lunch Olympics, Felching Races, PlasticMan fantasies are bit overboard. Perhaps if you weren't so obsessed with self-abuse, things would be better?
