I can't believe Chef turned out to be FutureGuy. So predictable...
I saw it tonight. It sucked.
- Thread starter Spaceman Spiff
- Start date
I cant believe that everybody in this movie had CGI pants, plus i loved all the Matrix style action shots every time kirk had a sip of coffee from those CGI coffee cups............amazing stuff.
I, for one, am glad they finally placed Chekov on the Enterprise early in season one, making Khan's line in TWoK work with the established chronology -- but who knew Chekov was the guy who washed Kirk's jock strap at the gym in 'Charlie X'?
I can't believe how they "saved" the Avian Xindii. Can we give it a rest? You can't bring back a whole species only to kill them with quadrotriticaley poisoning only to bring them back with Janeway's "reset" button.
My only other gripe was John Dimaggio's "Scotty". All I could hear was "Bender". Although the flaming belches were cool.

A few more nits...
Did anybody else buy into Adam West as the bad guy? It would have been sooooo much better if Tom Baker hadn't died in the first week of shooting. Oh well...
My wife really liked Drew Carey as the Pakled admiral, but he was just not the right choice for me.
And Malcolm McDowell as Billy Graham III?!? I never saw THAT coming.

Not to mention the Andorian incident. 
I laughed when Kirk's pants fell down around his ankles as he tried to make a move on that hot green alien chick in order to escape from that Klingon Borg ship from 2415..
Man, you know what I can't believe? I can't believe they had the Enterprise go to warp 6 directly from a cold start-up. Say what you will about dramatic license, but that would completely cause the dilithium crystals to burst from the resonance stress fractures caused by the infusion of energy into the deuterium intermix chamber, not to mention the consequent stresses on the hull that the inertial damping field couldn't possibly compensate for in time.
I mean, the filmmakers said they wanted to make this for a general audience, but come on! Even a complete idiot would have known not to do that! Now I have to go through my Technical Manual and hand-correct everything so as to conform it with the new canon established in this movie. Geez, where did they get these writers?!

Best post of the thread, hands down.
Wait, did you all stay for after the credits?! The big announcement...
that....
All books written after this movie will be canon!

I will admit to thinking of that very thing as I posted it.
Actually, it reminded me of David Gerrold in his book about the making of "The Trouble with Tribbles" (I just read it like a week ago). He said that when he first watched Star Trek, and they used the transporter, he immediately thought "that's not right. A matter transporter would obviously need a receiver booth to go that far!" Shortly thereafter, though, he remembered that matter transporters didn't actually exist, so there technically wasn't anything they couldn't do in a brand new show.
I don't know...after a few days I really think that getting Prince to do the soundtrack was a boneheaded move...
