You bet your Vulcan ears baby. Can't remember which episode though - think it's season three (which was defintely the weakest of the lot, but has some very camp highlights). |

Ooh. I'm still only on season 1. I watched "The Corbomite Maneuver" last night. The hideously ugly child at the end is actually Ron Howard's younger brother. He was also the infamously FUGLY kid in Gentle Ben! Now there's a face not even a mother could love...

So I finally saw the movie earlier. I had sky high expectations, so I can't help feeling just a little disappointed, but really just a little. It's pretty much a total success. Solid performances(Zachary Quinto and Karl Urban in particular), a good mixture of drama and humour, and the most stunningly realistic visual effects I've ever seen. It's a *stunning* movie to look at. On the downside, the first hour feels slightly dull and suffers from a bit too much humour. I can't say I was ever *truly* gripped or excited either. When things really get going though, it never looks back. It really is Spock's movie. All two of them. Or should I say three of them. |

Was the humor as corny as everyone says it was? |

Eh...some bits are, some bits aren't. I did think the humour was a bit too heavy in the first half, but then there are plenty of witty lines sprinkled throughout. Thank God there IS humour in it though. There's nothing worse than something like Star Trek taking itself too seriously. This certainly doesn't, but it's still a top quality sci-fi action movie. |

He's meant to be 17 in the movie. That got my juices flowing. ![]() It was quite hard to understand what he was saying due to his accent, but they actually make a joke out of that early on. |

Aw... shame you weren't totally sold. I guess things never quite live up to the hype. By the way, you've inspired me to order the remastered original eps... |

Oh don't get me wrong, I really did enjoy it immensely! It's a cracking film and there's a huge amount to admire. It's not perfect, but is anything really? The main thing it's missing is a really juicy plot with some of the genuinely big ideas and complexities that went on in some of the early Star Trek episodes. They've set it up perfectly for the next movie though. They also need a genuinely great villain. Eric Bana wasn't really given much of a chance to make an impact. He was just a foil to bring everyone together on their first adventure together, but I hope they get a meatier villain in the next one. This movie also relies a little too heavily on coincidences to advance the plot, but the movie itself is so charming and so much fun, that all is instantly forgiven. I'll be seeing it again over the weekend and I'll probably enjoy it even more the second time around, now that I'm not going in with crazy expectations. Those remasters are utterly gorgeous. I'm really, really enjoying them!! The only thing you may miss are the shonky effects, as they've been brought up to date, but it's all very subtle really. I think they've done a fantastic job. |

http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2009/05/box-office-prev.html Box Office Preview: 'Star Trek' will rocket to No. 1...but can it beam up non-Trekkers Okay, it's not your father's Star Trek. We get the campaign. We love the campaign. But what will happen at this weekend's box office when J.J. Abrams' reinvention of the classic Star Trek franchise takes on reigning champ X-Men Origins: Wolverine? Clearly, Wolverine loses. And it could drop as much as 60 percent from its opening weekend gross. But more importantly, how high can Star Trek go? That's the question that's got industry insiders making all kinds of wacky bets around town. No one really knows. The only consensus here is that there is no consensus. Predictions are all over the map: as high as $75 million and as low as $45 million. (The highest-opening Star Trek movie to date, 1996's Star Trek: First Contact, bowed to only $31 million.) We'll take our own guess below and wait till Sunday for some answers. 1. Star Trek -- $65 million Showings begin tonight at 7 p.m., and the must-see factor is high among the geeks. Can the same be said for everyone else? Well, J.J. Abrams brings a lot of credibility to the all-but-dead franchise, but the film features a cast of relative unknowns: Eric Bana and Heroes' Zachary Quinto are probably the most recognizable names. Still, advance praise is high and word of mouth could help this film gain fans outside the core male-over-25 demographic. 2. X-Men Origins: Wolverine -- $30 million Has the excitement already worn off the X-Men franchise? It feels like this film (which opened last weekend with $85.1 mil) was the next best thing for a New York minute. Yes, it's great news that Twentieth Century Fox is developing a Deadpool origin story so we can see Ryan Reynolds finally become a star. But will more people show up this weekend to see Wolverine? Doubtful. The drop is likely to be pretty significant. 3. Ghosts of Girlfriends Past -- $7 million Early tracking suggests that most women could care less about Star Trek. That may change, but until then this Matthew McConaughey-Jennifer Garner film (which earned a decent $15.4 mil last time around) should benefit from its current monopoly status as the only romantic comedy in the mix. 4. Obsessed -- $5 million It's good to be Beyonce. The actress has proven to be a formidable talent at the box office, with this "it's so bad it's good" feature hanging on well. Obsessed has made close to $50 million in its two weeks of release. Quite impressive. Expect a few more bones this weekend as the pickings for women remain slim. 5. Next Day Air -- $4.5 million Sure, this is a new comedy, but does anyone really care? Commercials seem to be resonating with exactly no one, and despite a solid urban cast including Donald Faison (Scrubs), Mike Epps (Soul Men), and Mos Def, this has the look of a turkey written all over it. Don't expect much. Also coming out this weekend: Little Ashes starring Twilight's hunky Rob Pattinson as the young, brooding artist Salvador Dali. His gay sex scenes are getting a ton of attention on the Internet. It will be interesting to see if that translates into ticket sales when the movie opens on 12 screens. And Sony Pictures Classics bows Rudo y Cursi. The first release from Alfonso Cuaron, Guillermo del Toro, and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's Cha Cha Cha production company, this Spanish language movie has already made a killing in Mexico. Critics like the charming story featuring Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna. It's opening pretty small, so a big per-screen average this weekend will be critical if the movie hopes to sprout long legs at the box office. |

I'm sure it'll do pretty well in the US, but the crucial thing will be overseas box office. Most of the Trek films did very poorly globally; Star Trek IV was the biggest grossing ST film in the US, but overseas it did less than $25 million - about a quarter of the domestic BO. With this reboot being vastly more expensive than any of the other films (probably with the exception of The Motion Picture) if this film doesn't turn things around it's difficult to see a long future for the franchise. |
