The Official STAR TREK Grading & Discussion Thread [SPOILERS] - Page 170

I find the movie excellent and a bit provocative for hard-cored ST fans.

It had very funny scenes: nokia, fiktor fiktor 2, the fight in the bar, mentioning Porthos...

I like that technological progress was very realistic, the acting, Andrej's accent, Kirks personality...

Well, only thing that was to hard to see was destroying Vulcan and Romulus...

Well, after all this time the percentages in the poll have remained remarkably consistent. Combining the "Below Average" and "Poor" rankings still yields a little under 10 percent.

So, Paramount lost one out of ten hard core Trek fans, at most, in exchange for millions of new viewers. Everyone involved with the decision-making on this film should be promoted.

Gep Malakai · October 30 2009, 07:24 PM

I should state for the record that I voted "excellent" after I got back opening night, riding high on the excitement. So if you move that vote down into the "average" or "below average" category...it, uh...

Clearly Abrams should feel shame!

Admiral Buzzkill · October 30 2009, 07:55 PM

Not likely.

Gep Malakai · October 30 2009, 07:56 PM

Tongue-in-cheek, Dennis. Tongue-in-cheek.

I'm still thinking Excellent.

Voted 'excellent' 5 months after first seeing the film.

Ovation · October 31 2009, 07:34 PM

Dare I say that all at Paramount "are very pleased"? Or is that tempting fate or something?

ST-One · November 4 2009, 12:41 PM

I like what the creative team said in the audio-commentary: 'I think we should do a sequel.'

And, I too still think it's excellent.

teacake · November 4 2009, 12:50 PM

LOL, there should be a rating above Excellent. Every aspect of it has grown on me. Watching the DVD was fantastic though it made me miss seeing it on the big screen quite a bit, I kept putting up the volume because I wanted the intensity of the opening scenes.

startrekrcks · November 5 2009, 07:35 PM

I am hoping the sequel will be brilliant also

Yeah, let's hope it sparkles the same way this film did

^If there's a Twilight/Star Trek crossover, I will go on a murder-suicide rampage.

Make sure you do yourself first!

What concerns me with the sequel is, after listening to the commentary where they talk about the post-crefits sequence that they were considering doing, coupled with typical Hollywood expectations - is that there is likely a fifty fifty chance they will not be able to resist putting Khan into the next movie.
