hey, JJ did great, nothing is like the original but you can't make a modern star trek film and it appeal to anyone but us (trekies). The new movie honors the original series and sets it up so that nothing future movies do will change the importance of the original movies since it is another reality. The new movie doesnt have the epic character convos the old ones have but you have to admit it was a great step in a new direction for a different group of characters (they only share the names).
Compared to this, that new Star Trek 2009 movie is absolute trash. Take out the special effects, and you've got nothing there. JJ Abrams turned the Star Trek franchise into Star Wars, and had the gall to use the characters of Kirk, McCoy and Spock to do it. Idiot.
First Contact is the epitome of Star Trek goodness, bar none. When Roddenberry, in his last years, said that his one wish is for some young bright thing to come along and do it better and bigger than he did, he didn't mean fuck it up

LOL. So did all the basement nerds, along with Seven of Nine.
i sense impending greatness
Personal Note: Whenever I feel my ass dragging, I start to whistle the part of the score when the Phoenix goes to warp; it always lifts my spirits.
