It does look very interesting. I've always been a fan of Trek, though not a die hard fanatic. My dad however is and he's looking forward to see it as well. He's been in Iraq since January. He's not military, he's working with the Army Corps of Engineers on a base in southern Iraq. He just got home yesterday and we're going to buy tickets in advance because he leaves on May 9th! I hate going to see movies on opening day but we're hoping the earliest matinee will just be Trekkies and older folks and not as many loud kids.
So yeah I'm hoping it turns out awesome. But it could just as easily crash and burn, I have no idea seeing as so few people have even seen it yet. Can't judge a film by it's trailer or pre-release gossip, doing so just ruins your own possible enjoyment. Sharing cynical, unfounded and unexplained judgments just sours everyone else's.
Has anyone else noticed Uhura's ear comm thingy? Looks pretty cool. I'll hold out an opinion on Simon Pegg until after I see him in-character.
I'm going into this expecting a fun, geeky and otherwise cool action adventure Scifi flick. Expecting anything else would be incredibly silly.

Ok ok... maybe I'm a closet Trekkie then... :D

Being canon doesn't always translate to being good, as we've seen with the last few TNG movies.
I'm pumped up about this one. It's been a while since there was a good Trek movie or space sci-fi for that matter.

Yeah, I'm on board. But I better see a Kirk-tells-the-aliens-what's-what scene.

I get a feeling that this movie may be to Star Trek, what Episode 1 was to Star Wars. But like Haken, I am looking forward to seeing it.

It'll prolly be like the remake of Day The Earth Stood Still.

I hope not. I haven't seen the TDTESS remake, but heard it was awful.
I did HATE the Star Wars prequels, though. Some good parts here and there but overall . . . just not good. AND I hate the fact that the prequels made the ending of "Return of the Jedi" almost unbearable and . . . stupid. Putting a Hayden Christiansen ghost where old Anakin used to be? That made absolutely NO SENSE WHATSOEVER!!!! Luke would NOT know who that was!!! He would have more of a perplexed look on his face like, "Who the
is that?"Anyway . . . I'm excited about the new movie. Looks extremely cool. I hope looks aren't deceiving.

I agree completely about the SW prequels. Seriously disappointing. Worst part was they couldn't leave the original ones the hell alone and tried to screw them up too. I'll be happy as long as they release a DVD set of the original theatrical cuts... or even the updated ones from the mid-90's.
Back on topic... I seriously doubt they'll make the new Trek boring, overly long, melodramatic and on top of everything throw in an annoying floppy eared alien dumb***.
If all else fails I still think they picked an awesome Bones... seriously! He's got the eyes and the build. How did he(Urban) do that? He went from viking to country doctor in a few short years.
