interesting article :

never realized that DISCO S2 could pretty much directly tie in with ST09 but I guess it can really (if you ignore the conflicting timeline years)

Timelines never bothered me, so this is kind of fun
While discovery Spock seems to be inspired by kelvin Spock, I don't think he can work as a prequel of kelvin Spock now. Kelvin Spock has no sister, no red angel visions and he wasn't working with Pike already. He was an instructor at the Academy before the main plot because their enterprise wasn't complete yet (it's at the Academy he met Uhura too and was programming the maru test. It seems he had recently graduated himself ). The mission to vulcan was the first one the ship participated to (Pike said that). There is no Number one, Pike seems older...and Vulcan gets destroyed.
I think pretending disco is what happened before st09 is just confusing as disco essentially made kelvin trek all the more its own reality (though, ironically, kelvin Spock gets the backstory Dc Fontana imagined for the character so it was one of the things they didn't change)
I think there is nothing wrong or complicate about having different timelines. I don't feel the need to make everything fit, especially if it requires way too much suspension of disbelief. Discovery wants to be the prime timeline so let it be it, even if honestly it doesn't fit with either timeline for me. It's all reboots.
Wow, can't believe it's been a decade already! But come to think of it, we've had to wait ages for Into Darkness (ugh) and Beyond (love it).
I'll never forget the 2009 one, it was my first IMAX experience and I saw it during a vacation while visiting the Seattle Space Needle/Monorail area

If I could change one thing about the movie, it would be to have no obvious set up of Prime Spock before his appearance and to keep Nimoy's role completely secret. If that had been done, I think all our minds would have been blown.
Went to see it at a massive Imax theatre in a science park as it was 'something special'. Imax was still new then and I'd never seen a screen that enormous. Haven't seen one that large since either - that one's gone now.
Sadly, didn't think Imax was worth it anyway, but that's not the film's fault.
Came out having enjoyed it but thinking it was a bit dumb. Didn't like the new Enterprise and thought Pine was...O.K.ish at best. Really didn't like Cho, Yelchin and Pegg but Quinto was good and Urban standout. Over the next day or two I picked more and more plot holes in it and then had some of them explained/discussed away. My appreciation didn't rise.
I still think it's the best of a bad lot and that the series got steadily worse. I still want to see the others and purchased the Blurays because it's Trek, but to be honest, the only JJ films I've halfway liked are Mission Impossible movies and they're supposed to be big and dumb.

that's what they were were trying to do with Shatner (end hologram)
Part one of a Bob Orci interview about the inception of ST'09. Now I really wanna see his and Kurtzman's unmade all-academy story.
Was thinking you know that could still be done as a fan film by the right CGI version (ie not me) ad a Shatner impersonator - show Spock Prime's arm reaching for the pendant and a holoKirk says the dialogue. Maybe mix with shots from the movie? (though the copyright police would hate that!)
It's strange that they got rid of the big Imax screen when it was still new.
In my area, there is one "true" Imax theater with the gigantic screen, six stories tall. Some multiplex cinemas have the "lite" version of Imax with a screen that's slightly bigger than a regular theater screen, but that doesn't appeal to me at all. If I'm going to pay extra for the "Imax" name, then I want to be absolutely overwhelmed by the gigantic size.

We have one FULL IMAX commercial cinema and another that is usually reserved for the science centre but occasionally shows commercial releases. If at all possible I try catch IMAX films there—especially if they have actual IMAX footage (like Into Darkness, The Dark Knight, Dunkirk, etc.). However, if we’re going to a presentation that doesn’t have such footage, I often go to the closer “lite-IMAX” cinema for a few reasons.
One—it’s cheaper than the other IMAX.
Two—the seats are more comfortable than the other screen rooms.
Three—the picture is considerably brighter as they have to maintain IMAX brightness specs (this is especially important for the 3-D presentations my kids enjoy—it’s the only 3-D I find reasonable as it’s not too dim).
Four—most importantly, the sound. It’s the only cinema sound that isn’t bested by my home cinema gear.
Should have made Kirk someone who was bounced out of Starfleet for some reason, and Pike brings him back into the fold.
Though going that route would've had people screaming he was a Tom Paris ripoff. Damned if you do, damned if you don't...
I saw it opening day! I was both hyped and a bit nervous about the movie. After the movies losing momentum with Insurrection and Nemesis. Plus Enterprise being cancelled early. I knew if it bombed. That would be it for a very long time! I love this movie so much! The best of a really good trilogy of movies!
