Some inaccuracies I've noticed in this great movie!

[Nerys Myk]

Kirk knows that the attackers of the Kelvin were Romulans despite the fact that nobody at this time has ever seen a Romulan, nobody on the Kelvin identified them as Romulans, and no one on the Narada said they were Romulans.

Reports of a Romulan attack in Klingon Space where one ship destroyed 47 ships is only news worthy to a room mate and not the entire federation. And even if she did report it to someone, the idea that one ship was able to destroy 47 Klingon Ships, a race known for being aggressive and fighting to the last man isn't worth concerning over with anyone? So let me get this straight.
47 Klingon Ships destroyed by one Romulan ship = No concern.
A vague distress call from Vulcan that could be weather related = ALERT EVERYONE! SCRAMBLE ALL JETS!

Looks like its feeding time, let me get my spoon.

Guy who looks like a Vulcan destroys a UFP ship. They have him on video and audio. Gee, I wonder if someone might be able to figure out they were speaking Romulan by comparing those recordings to recordings from the Romulan War? No doubt the Vulcans will have some 'splaining to do, though.

I'm sure someone in Starfleet Intel is working on the matter of the 47 Klingon ships, but that someone isn't on the Enterprise so it doesn't figure into the story.

Uhura isn't an engineer, a pilot, a scientist or a doctor. She's in communications and in th movie perform communications related duties. And in that function provides information that helps Kirk solve a particular "puzzle."

Exactly. This is something that has been brought up many times regarding how they knew it was Romulan. In 25 years I'm sure they figured out who it was.

Enterprise comes out of warp and immediately

Except they didn't start firing til they dropped out of warp. Just as with the Kelvin, they were probably defense weapons which automatically started firing.

I wonder why they didn't use them when they were heading to Vulcan?

Ask Chekov.

Uhura is totally useless in this movie.

Which is a step above the original Uhura.

Kirk knows that the attackers of the Kelvin were Romulans despite the fact that nobody at this time has ever seen a Romulan, nobody on the Kelvin identified them as Romulans, and no one on the Narada said they were Romulans.

As Nerk has had to explain and has been explained many many times.

Reports of a Romulan attack in Klingon Space where one ship destroyed 47 ships is only news worthy to a room mate and not the entire federation.

Tell us at one point she said she didn't share this information with intel?

And even if she did report it to someone,

So you proclaim that she didn't share it, then turn around and entertain the idea that she may have?

the idea that one ship was able to destroy 47 Klingon Ships, a race known for being aggressive and fighting to the last man isn't worth concerning over with anyone? So let me get this straight.
fires at the missiles that were heading towards Spock. Those must be some kick butt sensors to be able to detect all those missiles so far away. 47 Klingon Ships destroyed by one Romulan ship = No concern.

Your own implication, no one elses. Perhaps you could have used the fact that the primary fleet was in the Laurentian System and just assumed they were there for something that had to do with the attack.

A vague distress call from Vulcan that could be weather related = ALERT EVERYONE! SCRAMBLE ALL JETS!

It's their immediate allie.

Uhura's role is to be a catalyst in Spock's story which in future movies will continue his difficulty at controlling his emotional spiral into madness and prop-throwing, scenery-chewing acting scenes.

Ordinarily, merely being a catalyst in another character's story might be small potatoes but I have a sneaking suspicion that Spock will be the main point of the overall three-movie arc so that's a bigger role than Uhura has ever had before. My bet is that she'll have at least one "I'm the only thing keeping Spock from the outer darkness and [insert cataclysm that will occur because Spock goes squirrely]" type scene in the next movie.

God, I hope we don't have Uhura pulling of a Padme.

And Spock being posessed by the Dark Side of Logic:

"Every single Starfleet officer is now an enemy of the Federation!"

Oh, PLEASE do not bring upon this thread the dark spectre of The Cheesiest, Most Meldromatic, Most Pathetic Star Wars Movie EVER....

Star Trek 2009 is a truly remarkable movie and one of the best space adventures ever made.

I hate to be a wet blanket (lie, I secretely love it), but... no. Star Trek was a good movie, but is lightyears away from being "one of the best space adventures ever made".

Less meds.

KIRK: "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. I can do those things because I'm not a hero, like Spock. I killed those people. That's what I can be."

UHURA: "No, you can't! You're not!"KIRK: "I'm whatever the galaxy needs me to be."

..........

CHEKOV: "Why's he running?"

UHURA: "Because we have to chase him."

CHEKOV: "He didn't do anything wrong."

UHURA: "Because he's the hero Starfleet deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark captain."

No, it really is - but we're talking "one of" a very, very few movies to begin with. "Space adventures?"

Christ, unless you define that very broadly there haven't been many. For example, neither films like "2001" or any of the "Alien" series are really adventures; what is Trek competing with for first-class status besides Star Wars and something I'm not thinking of right now? The Last Starfighter? Ice Pirates?

^ On this board, Serenity is the greatest movie of all time.

In the end, both are opinions, aren't they?

This, though, is simply uncalled-for. You're not in TNZ now, remember?

So you think that it does not deserve to be among the best movies in its genre. OK then, why don't you share with us which movies are included in your "elite" space adventure list.

Note that movies that take place on alien planets such as "Stargate", "Pitch Black" or even the new "Avatar" cannot be considered a space adventure, but more like a planetary one.

Serenity is one of my favorite recent sf movies. That one could make an entire series of similar films for what one Transformers movie costs annoys me, but the marketplace is what it is.

If your point is that the genre is pretty mediocre at best, thus elevating a quite-good movie to the status of "best ever", I'd probably agree.

Aliens perhaps would be an apt comparison to Star Trek. Obviously the rest of the old Star Trek films. Stargate too perhaps? Someone mentioned Serenity. Star Wars is three (or six?) films. I really don't rate the new Trek as being much better than most of those.

^You kidding? As good as the "classic trilogy" was, Star Trek is better than Star Wars on the latter's BEST day!!!

But hey--that's just my opinion...and this IS a Star Trek thread....
