Looks really good the movie like, even some of my mates who rip me for being a trekkie are fancying this one.

 

Oh yes I'm a trekkie.

 

Jon Luke Picard & Kathryn Janeway FTW.

TNG was re-enacting old films using the holo-deck.

 

Great, wasn't it! :aye:

 

In fairness TNG had a high budget, an excellent cast, good script writers and was vaguely original at the time. I wouldn't watch it now like.

I thought it was shit tbh but my mate loved it. He even made me sit through 'Dad Savage' with him, such was his love for all things Picard.

I had to Google that. Sounds shit. I've got to admit I think Patrick Stewart is a decent classical actor though. At a 'Waiting for Godot' play recently with him and Ian McKellan I had to suppress the urge to shout out 'Make it so' and 'You shall not pass'. Oh how they would have laughed.

Nothing against Stewart but (and I'm not surprised you had to google it) picture a sort of Guy Ritchie film (not a good one) except it's also a modern take on a western and the main gangster in it is a line-dancing tulip farmer in Lincolnshire and you may begin to get some idea of just how badly conceived the whole thing is. :aye: I'd completely forgotten about it until this thread.

2 days to go :lol:

 

 

As a complete and utter fan of LOST I ventured down to Sydney on Tuesday for the World Premiere of Star Trek to feast my eyes on JJ Abrams new venture. I have never seen Star Trek. Not one episode, Not one movie. Yet the idea of JJ Abrams attempting to breathe creative life into a franchise drew me to the Sydney Opera House to meet my Idol and to see just what he can do.

 

As the lights went down in the glorious Concert Hall and the vibrant cast and crew thanked the audience and took their seats an anxious hush swept the hall from united Trekkies and newcomers alike. As Paramount, Spyglass and the Bad Robot flitted across the screen Michael Giacchino's score pulsed through the audience and the film began.

 

From the first stunning visuals of a pre-Enterprise time to the final iconic sweeping space shots Star Trek is fully and wholly back, completely engaging for Fan and newcomers alike. Easily grabbing a mainstream audience and yet still retaining the in-crown jokes and nuances of the original Universe, Abrams new Trek is quite the achievement.

 

The actors are superb and the appearance of Leonard Nimoy and Eric Bana takes the tale to the beyond.

 

It is easy to see why Paramount has held on to the innovative creative Bad Robot team ready for a sequel as Trekkie storytelling is reinvented for today.

 

As always I was blown away with the power and creative precision that JJ Abrams brought to the screen. As a final note I recommend this film for everyone who has ever looked to dream up the impossible, to take an idea that you love onto the next level, a feat achieved by the truly glorious Abrams and crew.

 

A must see.

Gonna watch this tonight. At the Millenium Dome. None of this post is interesting. I Fopped :(

We saw it there too. Almost nobody there. Damn that place is weird. Chain restaurants packed with Razorlight fans. <_<

the only downside was the 2 couples behind me chatting through the first five minutes of it and the fanboy sitting two rows in front by himself, laughing a little too loudly at in jokes
