I have no doubt that this movie will rank up there with TWOK. I think much time has passed and the subpar attempts of the recent past will be forgotten and maybe even forgiven. I say thumbs up in advance 
Star Trek XI - Will Simply be Awesome - It's about time!
- Thread starter Hello It's Me!
- Start date
Apparently, yes.
But "Generations" was about time, too, and that one was pretty bad.
I'm trying to figure out what was wrong with Generations, course I'm still trying to figure out what the issues are people have with any Trek movie or series. I'm weird I guess, I like em all...

Its this kind of optimism that we need in this forum.
I like them all to varying degrees. Except Nemesis. God, Nemesis is awful. I wish it didn't exist.
It was a fun ride (with a sloppy ending) the first time around, but it suffers pretty badly in the re-watchability department.
Hell, even Moore and Braga rip it apart during their commentary track.
You're joking, right? First, let's kill off Jean-Lucs brother and nephew 'burned to death, sob, in a fire'. Then let's have a continuity wrecking death of Captain Kirk in front of Scotty who in TNG said, 'Enterprise? I'll bet James Kirk himself brought her out of mothballs'. Then, let's have an 80 year old Klingon BOP with a crew of what, 18? destroy the Enterprise D. Just because it would LOOK COOL. Then, let's kill Captain Kirk by dropping a bridge on him. I could go on, but...what's the point? IT SUCKED ALMOST AS BAD AS NEMESIS.
Me too. And next May J.J. will grant us that wish, God Bless Him.
Watch this much longer clip:

And then you'll want to kill yourself.
Can't get that frakking theme song out of my head, now.
Thanks, Dennis.
Thanks, Dennis.
I still remember it from when the show was on the air.Can't get that frakking theme song out of my head, now.
Thanks, Dennis.
No I'm not joking. I happen to be a Star Trek fan. I like Star Trek.
TOS,TAS,TNG,DS9,VOY,ENT,I-XI.
I don't care how they killed Kirk, they did. I don't care why
the Enterprise-D was destroyed, it happened.
I don't care if you think Nemesis sucked, it was awesome.
The point is it's part of the story, part of a huge ever evolving
Universe that branches off, forward and backward, in all directions.
I accept the good with the bad because as a whole no Universe is perfect,
Trek is not oblivious to that. It all makes one-big-fucking-awesome-epic-Universe of
characters, events and places.
And I get to enjoy all of it.
I like Star Trek.
I think if you take this movie and view it with an open mind, setting aside the normal Star Trek universe, it will be ok. It took me one year after Enterprise was off the air before I forced myself to watch it. I found it as a show it really was not bad, as Star Trek............ Maybe. This movie has alot of the same issues that turned me off at first about Enterprise. Earlier time and more advanced tech, at least the look and the introduction of races and some story lines that just flew in the face of Trek, but as I said take it for what it is, and I think it will be ok. Otherwise judge it on how it fits and looks and I think it will be hated. However I for one will give it a chance, after all its been said before any Trek on screen is better than no Trek.
