Opinions on the new Star Trek **SPOILERS**

Hi Guys,

 

First off i would like to say that I am a 'fair weather' trekker. I do enjoy watching the series and films and like the idea of the trek universe, but I don't go so far as dressing up and roleplaying etc...

 

So I watched the new film in the weekend, and after loving the first reboot I'm not sure if I like this storyline.

 

After watching the first teaser trailers and all the hype and rumours about it being a Khan re-make I hid myself away for any further details about the film, so I went in not really knowing much.
I was genuinely surprised when Harrison revealed himself as Khan and I thought "ok, so it is Khan again, let's see how it is refreshed" and it was going really well up until they started re-using the same sub-plots as the original, only with Kirk and Spock reversed.
This is where I can't decide if I like it or not; yes the Khan plot is brilliant, but I think I would have liked a more different 'modern' re-interpretation of it.

 

All in all it is still a brilliant film, highly recommended, it just has that minor bug bear for me.

 

What are your thoughts on this?

 

P.S. Linus I've seen on twitter that you watched it in the weekend, maybe you can throw your two cents in?

I enjoyed the movie very much, to be honest, I don't really watch these movies for the storyline, just the visual effects and action. So yeah, I enjoyed it very much.

I enjoyed it, And I've only watched maybe 20 episodes of TNG and that's it in the trek universe. has given me enough of an interest to look at watching the old TV series.
I would say more in regards to my opinions on particular events in the movie, but i don't know how to do spoiler tags.

Im about the same.  Im not so into the constant edge of seat thriller kind of stuff, but the effects and sound are totally worth it!

 

The MAIN REASON to see it at the cinema is when you hear the starships jump to warp...       Boom!

Not many home theatres are that good   :D
