Wait for the DVD/BlowRay/Cable.
Tries too hard to walk both sides of the 'Faithful To 40 Years Of Canon/Sweeping Away Entrenched Geekiness line.

Awe - it was a decent film, I'd watch it again. But you're right - no real need to see it on the big screen.

It was awiighht, but just awiight.
Too many convenient plot twists to justify the revisionism and/or pandering to the faithful for my liking.

Fun movie I thought. I watched the original series fairly religiously. It was one of the few American TV shows we received and of course it was syndicated continuously for years. I didn't get into it at the Trekie level though so I didn't notice any inconsistencies or reaches. It was just a fun action movie for me.

) Most other movies just avoid the scenario altogether. All in all, I thought it was a clever way of reimagining the series. This gives the writers the freedom to do whatever they want yet still be able to reintroduce old plot lines if they want to.Title: Re: Star Trek.

I was in Toys-R-Us on Sunday. They have this giant cardboard display for the Star Trek toy tie-ins......... It's the Enterprise, and it's gotta be about 12 by 14 feet. It's huge.
I want that sumbitch.
