What did you think about the new Star Trek Movie?

I just saw it and was very happy to have paid theater prices. I may actually see it again before it goes to DVD. I got chills when Kirk met Dr. McCoy for the first time.

Uhura was a babe, but I didn't really care for the love interest thing (not going to spoil it for those that haven't seen it). I was impressed overall and I think the actors pulled it off. Bones was especially dead on true to the original Deforest Kelley character.

Chekov might have been a little overdone, but it wasn't a distraction.

I give it a big... meh... Rebooting Trek is silly. It's a GREAT show and Gene Roddenberry didn't create it as an action show. It was a space drama.

He was able to talk about the current issues in a way that was really innovative. This movie did NONE of that. I loved the acting... GREAT performances all around (Scotty was a bit over the top for me, but, that made it a little less serious all around and Eric Bana (Nero) was excellent).

Zachary Quinto was a great Spock and hit the mark with the inner conflict flawlessly. I loved watching Pine turn into Shatner... if you catch it, he does a PERFECT Shatner at the very end. The story was... lame in my opinion.

The effect were reasonable... Engineering looks like engineering SHOULD. I think I might have to watch it again just to make sure it was mediocre. Best Trek movie: WoK Best Trek series: TNG.

Short answer here because I am tired. Lol I saw this tonight and LOVED IT! So did my father and brother.It is really a great film, even if you are not a Trekkie.

See this film on the big screen. Don't wait for blu-ray or dvd. See it now.

I personally am soooo excited to never see this movie. Ever.

Roddenberry's original concept for Star Trek was "a sort of Wagon Train to the stars". He knew that TV audiences would be drawn to interpersonal relationships more so than Sci-fi techno-action. The cast of the TV series, as well as those of the motion picture incarnations are fully committed to this tried and true formula.

This story-telling tradition is carried over to the "new" Star Trek (2009). The intense action takes a back seat to the human and inter-species relationships and conflict. This is true story-telling true to Star Treks guiding theme.

Cinematically, the prequel departs from galaxy grandeur, and takes on a whole new flavor. Hand-held cameras and CGI lens flares seem to predominate the screen to the point of annoyance. The result is a fresher feel-- but alas, this handheld gimick has now bordered on cliche.

On the big screen, the close-ups are often jarring on the eyes. This is not so much a reflection on the prequels fine cinematography, as it is to the overuse of a cinematic fad. The fad is best compared to the unrelenting use of zoom lenses in the 1970's.

That jarring "documentary look" is sure to be short-lived. The prequel is a worthy addition to Star Trek's superb filmography.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
