Done.

 

[IndyJones]

The author isn't exactly kind to the movie. Seems to have a lot of opinons based on something he hasn't seen yet...

 

[Franklin]

I'm waiting for a scientific survey.

 

[cooleddie74]

Nice! I hope this movie is a real, bona-fide blockbuster even if the quality of the script isn't A+ level. We can take the new movie being a mild disappointment in terms of the story so long as it makes enough money and gets just enough positive attention to keep the franchise alive into the forseeable future.

 

[T J]

Done.

Ditto.

 

[miraclefan]

Done.

Ditto.

Done & Done!

It's funny how the author of that article wrote this about the Star Trek prequel:

"...there’s bound to be a been-there-done-that feel..."
​

While for Wolverine she wrote:

"...The prequel focuses on clearing up Wolverine’s cloudy backstory, revealing how he came to join Team X and sport those indestructible metal bits..."
​

So, are origin stories just a re-hash, or do they give useful information about the characters' pasts and their motivations

 

[indranee]

done. ^heh. it's that old Trek-phobia rearin' its head in the "reg'lar" media.

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

Well, he's certainly paid enough attention to the fan reaction to have picked up on the "Siberius" thing.

gee, that sounds familiar.

think he trolls this board?

I dunno. He didn't have anything to say about the JJprise being built on Earth.

 

[PKTrekGirl]

Excellent! Great news!

he doesn't strike me as being THAT much of a fan

 

[M'Sharak]

Well, he's certainly paid enough attention to the fan reaction to have picked up on the "Siberius" thing.

So someone spent a couple of minutes Googling for enough easily-found tidbits to bash out a capsule item. The StarTrek.com boards, a couple of TrekMovie articles, maybe here -- probably went from inbox to out tray in five minutes' time, tops, and they never even had to watch the trailer. It's MSNBC, right?

 

[Aragorn]

He's actually MattJC.

 

[DeVario]

Got my vote in.

gee, that sounds familiar.

Doesn't it, though?

 

[James Bond]

Whether it succeeds comes down to the new actors ability to make the old characters their own, as well the filmmakers ability to stay true to a story some consider sacred. There’s already debate on the latter point, as would-be watchers busy themselves dissecting the trailer (“Did that kid just say his name is ‘James Siberius Kirk!? It’s Tiberius!”).

ROFL

The Timesonline rated ST the number 3 anticipated movie of 2009....but Harry Potter was first, and quite frankly its pretty much a known quantity and I doubt that ranking.

My most anticipated:

1. ST
2. Watchmen-A close second
3. Avatar
4. Transformers
5. Terminator Salvation
6. Wolverine
