I just saw that one advertised on TV and wondered about it. I had not known a new Star Trek was coming out.

I definitely want to see this, although I'm not convinced (yet) that different, younger actors can pull off such iconic roles.

After wathcing the trailer again, I agree. I am a huge Star Trek fan and don't know if the film will work. I know a bit about the offical Star Trek history (need to look it up) but I am sure that the main charactors, Kirk, Spock, Scotty, etc never really met before serving onboard the Enterprise but I could do that wrong. I hope Abrams can pull it off though.

I just don't know if I'll be able to keep a straight face if they give "young Spock" the classic mind-meld line: you know, "My mind to your mind . . ." Because I'll immediately see Sylar talking, not Spock, and next expect him to whip out the evil pointy finger with the nasty screechy noise and munchabuncha brain tissue!

Somebody is probably going to me for that one . . . .

good point, lb! I too missed the "Heroes" boat and was planning on netflix - I think I'd better wait until after I see this movie. It's fraught with peril as it is so why give it another obstacle to overcome?

I did notice that with all of the updating they still couldn't seem to move past the original Spock haircut.

I enjoyed star trek a lot - as a kid reruns of the original were on after Lost in Space and my mother let us watch both shows in a row because I think she had a little crush on Lenoard Nimoy (Spock). I liked the Next Generation version and watched it when it came out and catch Voyager now in reruns sometimes, but they lost me completely with Deep Space Nine and Enterprise.

The movies have been hit or miss for me - some have been great and some just . . .not. But I am committed to giving this one a try - I like new interpretations of nostalgic tv/movies (hence my addiction to gatch fic . . .).

I didn't get into Star Trek until TNG, hence it's my favorite and I see TOS as being somewhat dated. I also enjoyed Deep Space 9, and Voyager and Enterprise had their moments too. I'm curious to see what they do with this new movie, and I'm open to the possibility of an exciting new direction ofr the franchise.

And this time, the young male actors are hot!!!!

Thanks James for the recommendation.

To me I like the TOS because how bad the speical effects were and of the humour between the charactors, especially Kirk, Spock and McCoy. My fav is TNG because it kinda made me part of the crew for some reason.

I also like DS9 as it was a bit different and not always on a starship and told a bit more of a race, the Bajorans, and not just in a single episode but in several episodes. I also like Voyager as it was in the Delta quadant and you see new races and such and you finally meet the Borg, my fave face and my fav Star Trek charactor of all, Seven of Nine.

I am still not 100% sure of Enterprise, enjoyed it but yet it just seemed not as good, probably overloading on Star Trek too much.

As for the films, couple were good, couple were just alright and couple were just plain stupid like last one.

I suppose with the prequal film, they were trying to please everybody, fans and non-fans.

Hopefully, the Gatch film will be as good.
