Well, I'll say this for Orci...

^Gwah!? $8.50?

Thats £4.25 in our money, our cinemas charge at least £5 ($10).

$8.50 is what I paid for to see Hellboy II and The Dark Knight during the non-matinee showings.

 

[Kemaiku]

Just sayin', if you do go see it, you're seeing it for less money than quite a few of us lol.

Going to the cinema is horribly expensive anywhere, but whatever you pay in the rest of the world, I always feel we pay more in the UK.

We do, it sucks.

Mr. Orci gave me some examples from past Treks which give some precedence( I don't know if I spelled that right) for what is happening with this movie.
Here is his exact post to me:

Did you see the TNG episode "Yesterday's Enterprise?" Or Star Trek iV? Was Tasha coming back to life, or the theft of whales a canon violation?

And he's got a point. I can think of several other episodes in the Trek canon where the timeline is altered in some way.
I'm not entirely convinced to part with $8.50, but I will say that I'm a little less hellbent against this movie. I'll need to hear more about it.

I sent him a reply asking if we'll get an explanation on why the Enterprise looks different. I wasn't looking for spoilers, just a simple yes or no question.

Excellent!

Yeah -- but is that £5 the price for a ticket in London, or is that the going rate across the U.K.?

I live in Pennsylvania and I pay $8.50, which is about the same for most of the United States. However, in New York City a movie ticket costs $10 or even $12 -- and I think the same goes for Los Angeles and San Francisco.

I'm a looong way from London in another part of the UK lol. And yes its a flat rate for the UK. I don't think I've seen cheaper and I've been to cinemas in several parts of the UK over the last three years.

If I see it in the suburb I live in (just outside Montreal), I'll likely pay 8$. If I go downtown to the "top of the line" cinema for an evening show, it could be as much as 13.50$.

Of course, I expect the average amount people in here will spend at the cinema to be around 40$US (can't catch ALL the flaws in a single viewing ).

We pay $12.50 in Edmonton.

For now, I'd guess we can probably assume that talks are ongoing.

At Camp David Marcus, no doubt.

In Germany I will pay something like 7 €. Don't know how much that is in dollars or pounds though ...

 

[DeafPoet]

At my local theatre it's $9.37 taxes in. Canadian Dollars of course. Don't know where that ranks on a worldwide scale, but in the outrageous world of movie prices, I always thought it was pretty reasonable.

See all this proves to me is that this movie is going to feature things which have been done before. So, if I've seen it before in Trek IV or Yesterday's Enterprise, why am I hauling ass to the theatre to see it again?

 

[James Bond]

^ Yeah, why are you?

 

[The Wormhole]

^ Yeah, why are you?

Well, the obvious answer is that I am a sadly dedicated Trek fan who will watch anything with the Star Trek name stamped onto it. A fact I came to a grim realization of during Enterprise's second season.

 

[Neumann]

Here in venezuela a ticket costs 17 BsF which is roughly $4.25 ;-)

We need a therapy group.

And NCC-1701 where did you get that avatar?! That is gold!

Thanks. I just made it myself in anticipation of Bruce Greenwood as Pike.

 

[Tom Servo]

I can't wait for Greenwood as Pike! Great casting there.

Please pass on his reply ... I'm starting to get a queasy feeling whenever I see that ship now.
