i am just wondering how they will further explain the series of this movie to re-align with the original series story line or if this movie series will make its own story arc.

any solution or outcome and i will be in line waiting to see it.

I have to tell you guys this ring tone is awesome! Who’s seen the movie did you enjoy it?

… if you want some details from the screenwriters themselves why the storyline regarding Nero was cut back. For me, their reasoning makes complete sense.

They compromised Nero for the overall flow of the movie.

Characters were the best part of this movie. Well acted and memorable particular Bones. I hope they tone down Chekov’s accent and don’t have Sulu doing unnecessary acrobatics that have nothing to do with his fencing training. Uhura unfortunately has little to do but be the love interest. Does nobody know how to write a relevant female role that isn’t tied to a man? Nero was a generic villain.

The plot has some pretty obvious contrivances. How random was it for Kirk to not only land on the same planet but also run into “you know who” who just happens to have the means to defeat Nero.

Also the transporter technology was used way too often and in the most overly powerful ways that it makes it hard to wonder what it can’t do. Another lazy crutch to move the plot forward.

Nero is about to kill Kirk but ooh some distraction occurs. The next Romulan is about to kill him but decides to brag instead. How cliche, lazy and predictable was that?

There was some bad science in here but that was something I could ignore somewhat.

Watchmen may have been confusing but there was an intellectual depth to it. Something which there is none of in Star Trek but that’s ok but hopefully the sequel will be somewhat thought provoking.

Talking about Trek I was a little concerned that so many critical comments from hardcore fans might keep someone from going to see it. It didn’t. The numbers are in and the movie is doing well.

Here’s my positives.
Chris Pines was perfect. He did what no one else could and made it look easy. He made the masses care about Kirk. He made himself an instant star. Karl Urban was perfect. Bruce Greenwood was the leader and teacher we all wish we had. The cast was great. We cared about them.
The action was exciting and the humor was just right. The scenes with McCoy chasing Kirk giving him shots was fun.
The opening back story was emotional and as Kirk made each new relationship it was satisfying.
I especially liked the lonely motorcycle scene. Out on the country road looking at the ship construction. It captured someone on the outside of looking in. Wanting to be a part of something bigger.
The movie brought Star Trek back to the masses and gives it a future.

Here’s my negatives.
The engine room. A location shoot in a factory? Must have been a cost savings idea. If the cost savings got the movie out then ok but if it was some idiots idea of good enough then not acceptable.
Kirk as a kid saying his name seemed staged. Should have practiced how to make it seem more natural.
I think everyone would have loved a scene of them launching the ship from the ground.
Since we are sort of in an alternate time line with Vulcun being blown up etc. etc. why didn’t they put Shatner in some place. I heard JJ. had written a small hologram scene for Shatner. I would have liked a brief cameo at the end. He could have walked up to old Spock and said, Did it work? Spock replies, yes.
Kirk smiles and says, see I told you it would work! Then they walk off together.
The ship is ok but nacelles too close together makes ship long and narrow. Wanted to see more ships. How about the Archer Enterprize as a museum?
That would have been cool.

Very happy Star Trek was relaunched successfully. Now I have more movies to look forward too!!
