    Re: Star Trek

    Is there a need for a show spoiler alert? I don't think anyone of the main characters is going to die. Unless, you search for him on a sequel.

    Re: Star Trek

    I saw this yesterday at the Dole Cannery in IMAX. I was kind of amazed to find that the IMAX presentation costs $15. That's a lot for a movie. But I will say that IMAX was definitely the way to see this movie. Lots of great sights and sounds. I thought it was fun.

    personally, i thought the movie was a good solid B, esp if you really like the star trek tv series and subsequent movies. a number of BIG surprises that i loved. never saw it coming. wish i could say more but i don't wanna spoil it for anyone planning to watch it.

    great to see the main characters in their younger years, the little expressions and body movements that would later characterize them.

    by the way, SNL had a funny salute to the new star trek movie tonight....

    I mean, you can find Scottish actors with a full coif.

    I went to the 7pm showing of Star Trek at the Ward Theater today. The attendance was decent but not crowded (I am guessing it was 30 to 40% filled).

    As far as the movie itself overall it's average and decent, there are some good parts to it, some stuff that doesn't make sense but it doesn't hit you until after you seen the movie.

    I, too, had my reservations-- but after reading the Slate review, J.J. Abrams' interpretation of this "alternate reality / prequel" actually sounds quite promising.

    We'll just have to see for ourselves, won't we? *hopeful*

    okay, after reading this entry from slate, i hereby declare that i will see the movie, despite my misgivings. apparently, the story is one of those alternate reality sort of things where some evil romulan who blames spock for the destruction of his planet goes back, back, back waaaaaaaaay back in time to kill spock to sate his thirst for revenge.

    said evil romulan is played by eric bana. mmmm mmmm mmmm! he is, in my opinion, one of the few men on this earth (besides my own eric, of course) as compelling to me as an vina was to captain pike.

    Tiberius
    The Tiberius cologne, named in honor of the Mirror Universe James T. Kirk’s challenges users to "Boldly Go" with a perfume described as being spiked with "notes of freshness and sensuality." According to Genki Wear, the perfume has sweet citron zest, black pepper, and cedar as its top notes (top notes refers to those scents that are noticeable first) and warm vanilla, white musk, and sandalwood as its base notes (scents perceived last, usually about a half hour after application). Genki Wear promises that "Tiberius Cologne for men is difficult to define and impossible to refuse" which is also a pretty good description of the Mirror Kirk himself.


    Red Shirt
    Genki’s "Red Shirt" cologne (whose tag line "Because Tomorrow May Never Come" is priceless) celebrates the sacrifices of those often nameless crew of the USS Enterprise. Described appropriately as a cologne for those with a "devotion to living each day as it could be your last" the cologne has top notes of green mandarin, bergamot, and lavender, with base notes of leather and grey musk.

    Ponn Farr
    The most risqué titled of the new Star Trek fragrances is "Ponn Farr" which is a perfume designed to "drive him wild." It should only be used once every seven years (okay, that isn’t true). Named for the Vulcan mating ritual first introduced in the episode "Amok Time," this perfume is one of the newly designed products meant to appeal to female fans. More details and an image on Ponn Farr will be available soon.
    They come out next month...

    From the trailers, it's a little bit of both.

    From Paramount's POV -- who owns the Trek franchise -- they're banking it is "based on." And if Abrams did succeed in reviving it with a box-office hit, they're hoping for more.

    Re: Star Trek

    As a suggestion you might want to use this thread to discuss the various Star Trek series, good or bad.

    As far as this movie is concerned I don't know if this is a prequel or a reboot of the Star Trek universe. I guess one would know when the starting credits of this movie says "based on" or "inspired by".
