If you don't like it, what on earth are you doing in the Trek XI Forum?
Too much time on your hands??
If you don't like his post, why are you replying to it?
Too much time on your hands?
Khan (one of the greatest sequels ever made) veruses the tribute band.
It killed a few hours I suppose but overall I rather have watched the original cast, or indeed any original cast...

Aren't you lucky that you can always turn to your DVDs or whatever.
Fixed.
LOL I like how uptight everyone gets whenever somebody mentions that they didn't like Trek XI as much as they did.
I guess no one likes to be shit upon from a great height, huh?
But I was talking about the film? I can't help it if people take my opinion on a film to be a an insult on them personally.

I didn't take your comment personally. I just don't understand why people who didn't like the movie go out of their way to bash it.
I don't think it's going out of your way to post a comment in a thread that's basically a 'Which is the better Star Trek?' movie thread. If people want to be flippant about it, they can be. Likewise, if others wish to discuss their decision in detail I'm all for that too.
Strange, if I do that, TWOK still wins by far. The character arcs, the story, the villain, the quality of the dialogue, the character's motivations, the soundtrack, the visual effects, direction, editing, emotional impact...
We should look at it in 2 years, when the hype about this totally overrated flick is over. nuTrek isn't going to age well, while TWOK is pretty much timeless.
TWOK for me.
TREK XI was excellent, don't get me wrong - but there were a few odd structural moments and the plot contrivances (I know TWOK has them) seemed to stick out more.
Sulu "I forgot to mention, Pike made Kirk First Officer..."
Everyone Else "Oh, okay then".

I'm not sure about that. I think it'll age about as well as Pirates of the Caribbean or something ie. something entertaining that's on every Christmas but is ultimately rather shallow and throwaway.
This is a good question as I'm at a loss as to why the movie has garnered positive reviews since the choices made in direction and storyline were very poor.
Show me the forum rule where it states that one can only post positive comments about the movie.
No such thing? ... thought so.
Nope, no such rule, but the personal pokes back and forth among several people can stop any time.
I don't think I'd go quite that far.
As has been pointed out, it might be a little soon to measure the new movie with complete objectivity against the earlier outings, but remember that not everyone holds an equally high opinion of The Wrath of Khan. Khan in particular I find a bit overly cartoonish when placed next to the Khan of "Space Seed", but that's just my opinion.
