Star Trek XI

I have not seen this yet but there are no movie theaters for a long drive here so I will wait till it is out on DVD. I hear it is really good.

What?  Star Trek...is that still going on?

i can very much narrow down what i liked about this movie: the new actors of Kirk, McCoy and particularly Spock were very convincing. i also liked the Outro. i guess that's all

what i didn't liked: all other characters, particularly Scotty, who was bordering onridiculing the character he played. Sulu was the guy from Harold & Kumar, Chekov who only joined the crew much later was already there for whatever reason. and the Uhura Spock relationship, come on give me a break who's gonna buy that....
i didn't liked the plot which was boring to the utmost and basically a redo of the Nemesis plot mixed with a little time-travel. Romulus got blown in future so the only(!) surviving Romulan vessel, a mining ship that looks like an exploded pineapple then destroys Vulcan in the past and for fun they got themselves idiotic tribal tatoos in their faces to mourn or whatever. Spock, who tried to save Romulus with Red Matter (...) is drawn into the past as well and eventually got stranded and meets with himself. not to mention the Romulans for whatever strange reason descide to wait until Kirk is accepted to the Academy until they destroy Vulcan, before that they destroyed the ship Kirks fatehr was servign on at the time his motehr gave birth to him. that's quite some time and what did Spock do in all that time considdering he entered this timeline just moments after the Romulan ship?
special effects were good, i mean what do you expect we're in the 21st century now so i'm not gonna give credit for that. but about the technical details. i figured they needed to give the Enterprise an up-to-date look compared to the original 60s show version but why did they slightly alter the appearance of the Enterprise (warp nacelles)? why is the bridge so large & crowded? and how does the engine room fit into the hull at all? did they got ridd of all that freightrooms and the sick bay? back then we could see Scotty crawl into small tubes, were have they gone?

I got to agree with you as well. I like those parts of the script, too. I like the new altered "reality" created by the time travel. It is much more interesting, and less of that all will be well. Vulcan destroyed is a good plot addition, usually it would have been put back together by the end.
