Thanks, but I really don't want Star Wars in my Star Trek. I hope it bombs, this is not canon.

You hope it bombs? Why? From what I've seen of the new film, it looks great. If it does well, there could be more movies. What's wrong with that? The Star Trek movie franchise hasn't exactly set the world on fire for the last 20 years, so I'm wishing this one tremendous success.

Apparently it is cannon, but with more flash and dash.

Yeah . . . um . . . what?
This IS cannon from what I've read/heard. It all stems from a time-travel/wormhole thing where the villain is from the Picard/TNG era where Spock was acting as ambassador to Romulus. Something he did
Select to view spoiler:
results in Nero's family getting killed. He blames Spock and vows revenge. He travels back in time and his actions ultimately have a butterfly effect on things. Everything, in fact. For example, where the "original" Kirk had a mom and dad, Nero's actions result in Kirk's dad being killed.
I think this is exactly what the franchise needs. The movies have been going downhill (IMHO) for quite a while and it all needed a fresh start.
From what I've seen so far, this looks really good and I'm excited to see it!
Zoe: "Get it running again."
Mal: "Yeah"
Zoe: "So not running now"
Mal: "Not so much"

Definitely canon from everything I've read as well.
A refreshed style and look is most needed for the franchise. Picard and the gang had had their day, just like the orginal cast had several movies before. And to carry on along the same path just wouldn't have worked these days. It needed a new direction and for a lot of people the original crew will always be the ultimate Trek, even if they are being played by different actors.
Empire magazine gives it 4 out of 5 stars.
Good news I think.

I agree with you. I am only sad that my father who passed away 5 years ago will not be able to see it, we will have to come 'in spirit' to see it.
I hope it does very well and everyone should want the same. If more Sci-Fi flims become box office hits.....the better chance we get more of the 'verse.
Well, maybe we will get more Firefly....regardless I believe the new Star Trek will do very well!
