OMG It was so awesome! I really did not think paramount would be able to pull off anything descent after 10 movies, 5 series (the last being a flop in my opinion), and so much rehashing of the same story lines, man was I wrong! Admittedly I watched a version I downloaded, so quality wasn't all that good, but I tell you what, the moment I get a chance I WILL go to the nearest IMAX theatre and watch it in full IMAX glory.

If you liked the original Star Trek, I think you will really enjoy this movie, they did a damn good job of recapturing the magic of the original, and with the modern graphics, it is really good!

even though i'm more of a star wars fan, i'm gonna go see star trek tomorrow. judging from the trailer itself, it definitely looks infinitely better than star wars episodes/trainwrecks 1 through 3.

The Star Wars 1 to 3 lacked the story that the original trilogy had that made it so good, they just filled it with graphical 'fluff' to make up for it. This new Star Trek movie both contains a good story, and all the nice graphical fluff you could need . Now personally I don't think the story followed cannon of the Star Trek line how I would of liked to of seen it, but I am a die hard Star Trek fan, BUT the story they did at the same time didn't overwrite the cannon either unlike Enterprise series did. But at either rate I really think they did a hell of a job on it.

Yeah the goal of this movie was to make it really appealing to a wider audience, most of the trek films, espially the last couple of them, where really designed for the core Star Trek fan, and they wouldn't of made much sense to someone that never really watched the newer star trek series. But what I think really makes this one shine even for the non-trek fans, is that it captured the magic of the original series from the 60s.

the ending result is that the empire wasn't the true enemy. it was george lucas' storytelling. also, the half-assed laziness of shooting the entire prequel series behind a damn blue screen was rather lame. by doing that, it ruined any hope of realism that episodes 4 - 6 have. they were corny, but at least they were somewhat believable .
