Tombaker,  you made me cough up my milk. I just saw it and was just blown away by everything else that I didn't even think about that. LMAO!!  It was a great movie! I`ve never been a huge Trek fan but have gone to see every flick and this was an awesome come back for the franchise. I know the purists will be pissed at some of the changes but I think it is something that they had to do in order to continue making Trek movies. The old formula was not working. Chris Pine was great as Kirk. He had a very human quality that Shatner`s Kirk never had or at least didn't show as much. Kirk always kicked ass and Pine's Kirk got his ass kicked like 4 times in this movie. It just made him more vulnerable and more endearing to the audience in my opinion. Quinto was awesome as Spock and Urban was the perfect Bones.

I think I`ll probably go see it again, before Terminator Salvation comes out.

I really liked the way they moved ST into a different direction. The timeline has totally been changed and had been as soon as Nero showed up those 25 years ago.

SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was wicked funny tombaker. As soon as Pike said Olsen’s name I was thinking “Red Shirt”. Then Mrs. Baloney turned to me with a “Nice red shirt” when he came onscreen. We were joking on the way home that moving forward all the Red Shirts should be named Olsen. Ensign Olsen. Lt. Olsen. Mr. Olsen
 

I never even thought about the red shirt, that is hilareous, tom.

And redhairs, I gotcha now, and good point.

Dang Pony, I might have to see it agin too. 

Shatner is gone; Nimory is relieved; Star Trek is regenerated without a rediculously poorly written fuure !!! The new Crew is HOT and YOUNG and WANTING TO BE !!!!

THIS MOVIE ROCKS!!!!

 Star Trek was meant for the young; this movie gave it back to them !!!!!

No one should really worry too much about the altered timeline.  Assuming young Spock knows what will happen he can just wait 120 years, fix the supernova earlier, and repair the original timeline.  Meanwhile we can all enjoy new, never before seen adventures.

I have a fealing that this will do over 200 mil domestic...Kick ass movie and heres to seeing more of them made by Abram's...

spoiler alert, raise shields.

I was wondering how they were going to explain the cast looking different from the original cast, and bam!  They did it.  Alternate reality.  The only bit I'm concerned with is that they didn't skip the enterpise timeline.  That's all still in the active continuity zone.

That's a hell of a buzz kill AMiSH

WOW!!! THIS movie was TERRIFIC!!! Chris Pine is definitely on the A-List of actors now. He is a BAD ASSSS!! Loved the Simulation scene as he's eating his apple. haha.

Spock is awesome. I loved how each character held their own and was very strong in their own ways. Even introducing Sulu messing up on the first Warp run was hilarious.

JJ is a fucking GENIUS!!! He Is automatically up there as one of my all time favorite directors w/ this one fell swoop. Amazingly done and put together. Cant wait for the sequel w/ this new cast and effects.
