Not your father's...

Ironic that this film would choose a tagline barely altered from a late 80s/early 90s campaign for Oldsmobiles which had spots starring both William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy (and their respective daughters).

As we know, Oldsmobile is still going strong!

Um. Never mind.
 
I went with my father - now in his sixties.

He liked the new film more than I did.
 
My father and mother (both chronic Trek fans) saw it at least twice.

So yeah, this is my Dad's Trek, and my Ma's trek, and my Trek... dunno if my sibling liked it, but I don't trust her taste anyway. :p
 
My father is a TOS fan from the original run and is responsible for fostering my own reverence for the series and Science Fiction in general. He did not like the movie and compared it to the Schumacher Batman films. Like those Batman films, he said, "We just have to ignore this until someone comes along and gets it right.."

Yeah, that kinda got flogged back here. I liked the Ringo spot better than the ones with Shatner or Nimoy, personally, but YMMV.
