Well, went and saw Star Trek tonight. Anyone else see it yet? And what were/are your thoughts? I actually really liked it. Lots of outright and subtle references to the Original ST, plus even a shout out to Captain Archer amazingly enough. The guy who played Bones (Karl Urban) did a fantastic job. Simon Pegg was great as Scotty. All around good job I think. I'll most likely see it again. Definitely will add it to my movie collection.

as a marvel comic book fan, i like the wolverine movie a lot more.
You could make the same formulaic sci-fi flick without the Star Trek name attached to it.
Spock was the only saving grace and the reason I'll get the DVD.
Flashily directed by that Lost guy and mostly centres on Kirk and Spock without doing anything interesting with them.
Having seen it I'm surprised it was so well received. I preferred Khan and ST IV.
