I think the actors did a good job, the special effects and soundtrack was magnificent; but I think the story stood something to be desired. Whoever wrote this didn't have as much of an understanding of science as they should have, and it showed.
You might want to look at the 1976 Columbia Records album 'Inside Star Trek', which an updated version was included in the 25th anniversery edition of the Star Trek - The Motion Picture CD set. That should provide insight on Gene Roddenberrys vision
I hope the sequel isn't about Voyager or Next Gen. because the original Star trek beats the crap out of all the others. I will always be a fan of the original, Live long and Prosper.
"I read about you in earths history" should of been "I read about you in Galactic history" Kirk was almost worshiped by the klingons and even century or so after his death the mention of his name invokes awe..The Romulans also had a grudging respect for him so much so that capturing any enterprise was seen the same way capturing a standard in the middle ages was
Abrahams should of maybe put a bit more emphasis on that
@joeautiso I know it's been 5 months since you posted this, but a couple weeks ago Two Steps From Hell released their first album to the public called 'Invincible' on iTunes and this song is on it. :)
"Your father was captain of a starship for twelve minutes. He saved eight hundred lives, including your mother's and yours. I dare you to do better." Best movie EVER!
The point when the Kirk's father died and his ship been destroyed by Nero .. that's when the altering of the past began .. and since that point, we look to another time-line on this story .. Another movie-line.
Scotty: "What that?"
older Spock: "Your equation for achieving trans-warp beaming"
Roadracer987654321, there is no newer or original Enterprise. I'm no Star Trek expert, but what I do know is that the whole point of this movie was to tell how Kirk became captain. The "original" and "newer" Enterprise starships are the same.
@TFDude101 this is not how kirk originaly became captain. if you payed attention in the movie, you would have herd spock explain how events would have been altered since the arrival or nero's ship, hense the creation of an alternate reality.
pretty much, while the Kelvin was a science ship, it was also conbsidered CDW for commando needed encounters. And yes for the rest of you that wanna point fingers and laugh go ahead. I'm nerdy enough to know all this stuff. :P
If it's the same person I'm thinking of her and another captain drank me under the table at a con so, I do believe you and NEVER try to drink either of them under the table. As to your question on what is a CDW, it is a Commando War Destroyer. Don't ask why the W and D are reversed, production was happy with it that way. The function was to be a battle ready/science ship due to the instability of relations with the Lyrans, Klingdon, and (unsung) Hydran Monarchy. I can't tell you how I know. ;)
Sirtis checked out my bottom and my thighs when I was walking up to her and away.
Delancie was snotty and nasty. I never forgot that.
The guy who played spock's father bumped into me in the crowd. Actually we bumped into each other.he was nice as heck and used me to steady himself. he asked I stay put for a second while he got his bearings in the room . he signed my autograph and a few others. I thinbk I was drafted as his aide for a few minutes.
I really do like this theme quite a bit, but I believe it's better suited as a trailer theme, as utterly epic as it is. The soundtrack better fit the overall tone of the movie; it definitely had some old Star Trek influence, in my opinion, and I quite liked that. "Enterprising Young Men" was a suitable new theme for the franchise, I believe. Still, it would be nice to see "Freedom Fighters" incorporated in some way. :3
@seacaptain72 there is going to be a new series in 2011, Star trek Cardinal, finally a series about a sovereign class, but it probably will suck a bit sovereign seemed special due to it only being in films
Movie far surpassed my expectations. I was worried when it got pushed back five months, but well, well, well worth the wait. Absolutely brilliant. I could watch it every day and not be tired of it.
This song deserved to be the new theme song for Star Trek, but its been reduced to music you hear in a trailer. I will always think of Star Trek when I hear this.
it only seems like zimmer/howard (more zimmer, howard does sad music and sometimes urban beat type stuff like freedomland) but its a lot more like steve jablonsky's theme in michael bay's the island.
one of jablonsky's influences is def zimmer tho, i'll say that. harry gregson-williams (narnia and kingdom of heaven) is another similar composer.

I have met one of the Star Trek captains. You should like that.
We spoke afterwards on one occasion.
I am sworn to secrecy as to that person's contact info.
How do you know so much about the Kelvin ? What does CDW mean ?
I went to only one Star Trek convention. I met a few members of the guest actors on ST. I thought it was a odd Experience.
I met Sirtic and John Delancie a few years after at a College Sci-Fi fair.
She was cute..... She checked me out. Is very True !
