[Bren]

Roll on May, New Star Trek movie is coming out. I am pretty excited about that as have always been a fan of Star Trek...

Well, here is a link to the trailer if you are interested...

[Kemet]

I'm looking forward to it Very Muchly.

Going to be interesting to see local lad, Karl Urban, as Bones!!!

What better birthday could a girl ask for!!!!

[McJim]

I lost interest in Star Trek when they joined forces with Greenpeace and made 'Geriatrics in Space Save the Whale.'

That was too much and I have never watched another Star Trek offering since.

Firefly is good though.

[Taz]

Never heard of this star trek thing. Is it a take off of star wars or something??

[Bren]

Ya gotta be kidding there....

[Mully]

Wait, was "Pigs in Space" part of Star Trek??

[H00dz]

Be warned, I will not accept any bad comments about Star Trek or any of its offshoots, or else I'll have to transport into your house and perform the Klingon mind meld on you........I'll be watching:nono:

It's life Jim.....

[Laava]

Nanoo nanoo!

IMHO, the last good Star Trek movie was Insurection, last good series was Voyager. I haven't got my hopes up for this movie.

Voyager was crap. Enterprise was crap. TNG was better than TOS. DS9 was a good idea badly executed by over indulged B-Grade actors.

JJ Abrams will have his own take on the concept and it will miss Gene Roddenberry's point completely.

JJ Abrams is the last person I would have entrusted the franchise to, but since that dork Berman got hold of it it's done nothing but get more and more unwatchable. Now that Majel is dead, GR Jnr is going to be made to watch Star Trek turn into "Lost" in Space.

The trailer makes me ill.

McJim, Firefly is rubbish. SG-1 and SG Atlantis kick it's butt. Farscape was by far the best TV Sci-Fi of the last 20 years.

BG is starting to grow on me, but the latest twist of turning main protaganists into Cylon clones is BS.

The above is MNSHO and therefore 100% correct and the rest of you are all wrong.

I'm looking forward to Race to Witch Mountain more than Star Trek.

[fire eyes]

Captain James T Kirk .. damn fine looking man in his younger days .. you know .. I always tried to do that thing Spok did with his fingers and I still can't .. dammit

Although I didn't like Firefly I was quite partial to Serenity but yes SG1 and Atlantis are both far superior, although I think SG1 lost something when Richard Dean Anderson retired

Farscape was very good but I'd rate Lexx it's equal


you know .. I always tried to do that thing Spok did with his fingers and I still can't .. dammit

I can only do it left handed

[James Deuce]

Serenity was great. The irony in that is that it was proof positive that the idea behind Firefly couldn't sustain a series. It was one movie's worth of material. Firefly didn't have a Sci-Fi feel to it. It was a Western TV series stuck on a cheap space set.

Lexx the TV Series was awesome, and has it's roots in far better quality Sci-Fi than anything in this thread. Lexx, the Charlize Theron vehicle was utter bilge.

Both hands, FTW. Working on doing it with my feet.

A Vulcan mind meld would be more effective :weird:

[Laxi]

Wait, was "Pigs in Space" part of Star Trek??

classic!:first:

oh yeah, and i cant believe this even rated a thread on kb... yeah right, tui add anyone?

[Kendog]

Wash your mouth out.

I have become a bit of a new series BSG fan, nice dark story lines.


I can only do it left handed
Is that cause your right hand is on the mouse/remote?

But seriously, I can only do it right handed.

[disturbed]

ive never been a star trek fan, always thought it looked bloody gay but this movie has got my attention, looks fuken cool :niceone:

There you go, Star Trek is fucked. That's exactly what that fucker Berman was after.

[Ms Piggy]

It's in a class all it's own!! ;)

I'm very much looking forward to the new Star Trek. Saw some stuff on Campbell Live last night, I think Karl Urban is lucky to have scored his role after that awful movie Pathfinder.

[Ms Piggy]

Lexx, the Charlize Theron vehicle was utter bilge.
Do you mean Aeon Flux? Charlize Theron was in the movie a few years back.

[Bren]

Aeon Flux, now that was good, and I do concurr that Farscape was one of the best sci fi series ever!, it's a shame my hard drive fried last year as I had every single episode of farscape on it....

Lexx was weird and bizzare, but none the less a great filler at late night...

Sliders, who remembers that...I found the first 2 series good, but it went down hill in the 3rd series...

Final Fantasy was a great movie, I loved that one....

But heading back to the topic at hand, it is great to see Star Trek back again...




Waiting for the Sci Fi Channel to get to sky...I hope it does, but cant see it happening for ages if ever...

[James Deuce]

tHAT'S THE ONE. mEMORY IS GOING.

[MIXONE]

I prefer Boston Leagle.

[ital916]

Battlestar galactica the new series *not the original* is amazing, definately the best sci-fi on tele. SG-1 was great until the new cast i.e when rda retired but is still a great watch.

All you firefly haters sucks hairy camel balls, that show was awesome.

Im definately looking forward to the new trek movies, looks good but hopes might be dashed. Best st movie ever was first contact.

I reckon the next generation was the best series in terms of thought provoking and engaging story lines....q anyone but voyager was pretty kickass as well.

Star trek works on the whole point that the enterprise is going places new, always coming across different things. Hence why ds9 sucksed balls, I was looking forward to enterprise continuing but alas cancelled after four series.

Remember people, transformers 2 and terminator 4 salvation *which looks ridiculously awesome* are also coming out this year.

Oh and lest we forget the previous sci fi shows that won us over like sliders which was wicked, babylon five, farscape, lexx, earth final conflict *roddenberry was a god lol*

[Mully]

Good God. This thread is like a gathering of fluffy parkas and pocket protectors.

lol .. aint it fantastic!:headbang:

[Kemet]

Most of my DVD collection is SF
SG1, Atlantis, STmotion pix 1-6, Babylon 5, Ultra Violet, Aeon Flux....

Fav ST movie: First Contact.

Who's our favourite ST character/character combo??

For me, I was always a fan of Bones. I most especially loved the relationship between him and Spock the most. Those little touches of sarcasm from Bones esp. You could just feel the love!! :lol: Best part of that being of course in IV:Search for Spock and Bones realising Spock pulled a mind whammy on him before he when into the reactor chamber.

[Kendog]

Who's our favourite ST character/character combo??

The female crew in the original Trek TV show.
Those short skirts might be seen as impractical for space travel in tv shows now days, but they sure looked good.

[disenfranchised]

I've seen the new trek film already. Went to the charity premiere last Thursday.

I've been a trek watcher in the past, but wouldn't say I'm a huge fan....but I did enjoy this new one.
It's just a good action movie in its own right, regardless of whether you're a trek fan or not.

You lucky bastard:angry2:......nuff said

[NZsarge]

I think you all need to stop watching TV so much and get out of the house, go ride your freakin' bikes a bit more.. Nice day for it... :niceone:











btw, Battlestar Galactica (the new series) is good but the latest season has lost it's way a little imho.

As long as that # 6 Blonde cylon birds in it...........I will stay a fan:innocent:

[NighthawkNZ]

BG is starting to grow on me, but the latest twist of turning main protaganists into Cylon clones is BS. .

The final is series and final 2 hour movie is worth the watch... ;) big twist at the end... this has all happened before and will happen again.

As for the latest ST movie... while I am looking forward to seeing it, I will reserve judgment till after I have seen...

Personally the haven't made a decent ST movie ever... so I don't like my odds...

seven of nine....jeri ryan = one of the sexiest women ever lol

how do you find out who are real trekkies or who are just pretenders??.....easy,you just need a little bait :bash:

"make it so no1":yes:

Real Trekkies (and Trekkers) think TNG sucks.

Hehe Got me there LOL....

[Radar]

seven of nine....jeri ryan = one of the sexiest women ever lol

Is 7 of 9 (or her sister) going to be in the new ST movie?

According to Wikipedia, she bumped the ratings up nicely when ST was on the verge of fading away. Nothing wrong with eye candy...

[James Deuce]

For some reason I always think 6 of 9. :shifty:

[Skyryder]

Use to watch the first series of star Trek 'ruthlesly.'

Could not get into the second generation. No Spock, Bones or Kirk.

In cinemas 7 May

I suppose that's only when she was in that little jumpsuit number, too??!!


For some reason I always think 6 of 9. :shifty:

I would be suprised if that was an inside joke for the production team:
increase ratings by adding eyecandy leading to the inevitable thoughts of copulation leading to thoughts of how leading to six nine but cos she's a girl with a little something extra that would make seven nine -> ->

Vio la!!
7 of 9!

[PrincessBandit]

Two words - "Can't wait".

I too didn't particularly like "geriatrics go back in time to save whale". One moment from that one I loved thoughwas Scotty trying to speak to the computer in the holding tank manufacturing facility and wondering why it wouldn't respond to him.

[Forest]

Shatner. Was. The. Best. Even. If. He. Talked. A. Bit. Funny.

[Kemet]

I'll be disappointed if he didn't/doesn't get a cameo appearance in this and yet relieved as well as it would probably just not feel right either.....

[Lissa]

I cannot wait to see this, looks good, some cute guys in it and full of action what more can you ask for!

[Spazm]

Is it too good though ?

That rocked, Hail THE Onion.

[Kendog]

Just seen it, have to say it's pretty good.

[Ixion]

Whole IT department is going next Wednesday afternoon . Werk's paying too. It's classified as a training expence.

[erik]

I saw it this evening. I can't believe the good ratings it has got on www.rottentomatoes.com and www.imdb.com!

Because I'm bad at putting my thoughts into words, I'll just link to the review I found that I most agree with:
http://www.wetasphalt.com/?q=content/star-trek-what-ridiculous-load-crap

[Wiki Drifter]

After 10 minutes watching I was convinced it was bound to get better, but instead it just got progressively worse. The movie studio must have paid people to vote on IMDb, 8.3/10 my arse, 3.8 more like it

[sleeqe2000]

It wasn't that bad - better than Wolverine, that was rubbish.

I'd give it 7 out of 10. I was expecting it was going to be better than it was - it was alot better than alot of the other trekkie films.

[FROSTY]

Not really a trekkie myself but If you haven't seen the movie I'd say do it. Bloody cool . Some stuff just diddn't add up in the movie but yep it was a goodun.

.
As for the bike in the movie --Gimme Gimme Gimme :2thumbsup:2thumbsup

[McJim]

Farscape was by far the best TV Sci-Fi of the last 20 years..

Kiwis in Space meet the muppets? Muwahahaha. Rigel was worse puppeteering than Yoda!

[James Deuce]

Kiwis in Space meet the muppets? Muwahahaha. Rigel was worse puppeteering than Yoda!
He wasn't a Puppet! He was an Alien! You Dufus!

[aahsv]

This latest instalment didn't just lose the plot, it never really had one in the first place - very disappointing - written by a wannabie trekkie who just didn't get it - young spock was never that mushy :sick:

[monkeymcbean]

Be warned, I will not accept any bad comments about Star Trek or any of its offshoots, or else I'll have to transport into your house and perform the Klingon mind meld on you........I'll be watching:nono:

It's life Jim.....


live long and prosper :bye:

[RocKai]

I'm going to call my next bike "THE ENTERPRISE" and dress up as Spock. He was the Meanest Skinny White Boy who can actually kick ass and talk logic at the same time. Bloody cool movie. On par with Watchmen I'd say.

Dissing all ya old farts haters out there, Star Trek Forever!!! Wahahaha. Lol just kidding.

My rating 7/10.

[terbang]

Saw it yesterday in London.... Yeah I liked it, though its been a bit dumbed down in the storyline. I reckon Shatner was a better Kirk. Worth a looksie.. I never realized that Spock was fucking Ohura, or is it just this movie..?

[Kendog]

I never realized that Spock was fucking Ohura, or is it just this movie..?

Just this movie.
But it's logical, I'm not sure why the original TV show didn't have the same story in it <_<

In the US in the 60's, I'm sure a lot of people at that time didn't like a black woman even being on the bridge.

I liked the movie, ok I'm actually a closet treckie, thought the plot was a very clever way to explain the diffences between the movie and the original series. About the only thing I didn't like was the views of the working of the Enterprise looked like a petrochemical plant.

4 of 5 stars.

[Madness]

Apart from being royally dicked around by the intelligent cinema staff at Hoyts Sylvia Park and missing the start of the film, I really enjoyed it.

I'm looking forward to the sequels already. Scotty is a laugh and a half.

4 Stars
