OMG SO AWESOME!!!!!!

It was made of awesome, basted in awesome sauce and baked in the awesome oven.

That is all.

[Storymama]

I can't wait - but I'm forcing myself to get through finals first.

[Sue]

Great!! I think DH and I may go see this if we ever get a date night.

[shannon]

I am so so so so looking forward to it. I have plans to see it next weekend, and it's going to drive me batty to wait!

[Hobbes]

DH is going to be gone, and DD is with Grandmom all day Sunday after brunch.

I think I know what I'm going to do Sunday afternoon :D.

[candeo]

Tomorrow!!! Can't wait!!!!!

[threecubs]

I'm so glad to read this!! I don't know when I'll get to see it, but I have been so excited!! :-)

[Angela]

I can't wait! Rachel just volunteered to babysit tomorrow night.:-D

[Tracy]

Fun !! I'm not a Star Trek person but am still thinking that I should maybe check this one out.(nt)

Oh you should! I think even if you aren't a big Star Trek geek you would like this movie a lot. It's well done on many levels. Plus seriously, so much male pretty is worth the price of admission ;-)

[Tutu]

Ha! I knew you'd be among the first to go see this! I can't wait!!!! nt

I just want to say that for those of us who are not up on current movies, this post made no sense. I really thought you were talking about food until I read the replies.

:bag:

[~PQ]

I can't wait!! I'm taking the kids east in a week and hlaf and its on the top of the to do list (maybe even above Dads 60th birthday party...lol)

[keight]

We're going down to visit my in-laws in Florida in a few weeks. The only thing on the schedule is ditching N with his grandparents one afternoon so J and i can go see this movie.

(And if anyone has any tips on a polite, respectful way to remind my MIL that putting N in the crib to cry it out at naptime is NOT ok, i'm all ears. She's already talking about using our visit there to "tough it out" and teach him some "independence"...)

Because that's what a 6 month old needs - independence. Huh, I bet you don't even let him ride the subway alone, you helicopter parent, you :P

I would expect that if I left my child with this grandmother that he would spend that time crying alone in a crib.

Your assessment, my dear, can not be improved upon, unless perhaps one were to put a cherry of awesome right on the top.

[kokoro]

What age range do you think would be OK to see it?

[candeo]

He was very, very frustrated by this and couldn't really enjoy it.

I wasn't watching with an eye for violence, but there is a fair bit, and it's pretty emotionally intense.

[threecubs]

I'm so glad to read this!! I don't know when I'll get to see it, but I have been so excited!! :-)

I'm thinking I might be going tonight!

DH is being very sneaky today, I asked him what was up and he tried to hide it...but he has a very specific look that gives him away every time!

When I sat down to my laptop, which he had been using earlier, he forgot to close the Fandango site! LOL

Poor guy...he really, really tries, but he can never keep a secret from me! Kaleb went to mow my SIL's lawn, and Ian went with to play with his cousins. DH is taking Bethany over there "because she wants to go play too." Uh, ya, she likes going over there, but her cousins are a bit younger than her and I know she'd much rather be home after her softball game, than go over there to "play."

I'll find out soon if I was right. LOL

We did go! It was fantastic. I really wish they hadn't thrown a couple of comments in that they did. I've always loved Star Trek for not being crude, so that disappointed me a bit. All in all though, it was everything I hoped it would be! :-)

Oh yes you are corrrect! It was garnished with the cherry of awesome and a scoop of whipped awesomeness :D

Seriously I considered going to see the 2AM IMAX show but could not convince my non-insane friends to come with me, so we shall see it some time next week.

This probably indicates a severe lack of insane friends in your life. I myself could do with collecting a few more of those.

It's not that i wouldn't decline anyway, but geez, i didn't even get an invite...hmpf.

You do realize that of all your friends, I would probably be the one to say, "oh heck, just bring the baby", right? I certainly wouldn't object to the presence of N at group, either :-P (he might have some of the more intelligent commentary to add)

[bannanabette]

I agree! The question is, do I get newer, more insane friends, or do I just drive my existing friends more insane?

[Vicky]

I saw it today and it WAS awesome - Paul, George and I all concurred.

My one major quibble is that Kirk referred to himself as James SIBERIUS Kirk at least twice when his name is James TIBERIUS Kirk. James T Kirk, as he was referred to later in the movie. What's up with that?

[annie]

I didn't notice that... maybe it just sounded that way with the S in James slurring over the T in Tiberius?

We all concur with everyone as well -- as Ry said this morning, if a bunch of chicks said it was awesome, it must be pretty darn good. :-D I just loved the whole thing... it could have totally gone off the rails, but the stars aligned and a near perfect movie was made.

[leannan_si]

if it is as good as "Wrath of Kahn"?

[bannanabette]

if it is as good as "Wrath of Kahn"?



I don't think I can compare them.

(Edited because I noticed that the spoiler tag isn't hiding the first sentence in the preview, which isn't really a big spoiler but I didn't want to put it out there and have someone get any preconceptions)

The villain in the new movie is not nearly as strong as Khan, but as much as I love Wrath of Khan, I'd choose to watch the new movie over Khan right now. I think it will easily wear as well over time as the old movie - in 20 years this will still be a watchable movie.

I think it's less cheesy than Khan and more accessible to non-Trekkies. (I don't mean that cheesy is a bad thing necessarily) and I find the reboot of the series really appealing. It's fresh and the acting is better. The story is more disjointed and there are some big plot holes, but it's still really entertaining.

Yeah, I heard "Tiberius" pretty clearly in a couple of scenes and didn't notice a difference anywhere else.

It really is a near perfect movie. Did you see it got 96% on Rottentomatoes? I don't think I've seen a movie go that high before.

[Debra]

I reallyreallyreally want to go. No one in my family does though! Jerks. :-P

[threecubs]

I reallyreallyreally want to go. No one in my family does though! Jerks. :-P

Oh no! :-) Can you go alone? I know that's not for everyone, but I love going to the movies alone now and then.

[leannan_si]

Thank you! :-) nt

I walked in totally crushing on Chris Pine from the previews....and walked out completely infatuated with Karl Uban as Dr. Bones. Yum yum yummy yum yum!!!

He was great, wasn't he?

[Kari]

It was a little freaky how he evoked the original Bones - like he really could have been a younger version, yk? Actually, they all made me feel that way - the casting was so good - spot on. :-)

[Vicky]

I admit that I had read a review beforehand which mentioned it so I was listening for it. The first time was in the beginning when his mother had just given birth and suggested naming him after George Kirk's father, Siberius. Near the beginning when young Jim was introducing himself to the robocop he also introduced himself as James Siberius Kirk.(You can hear it here) YouTube - New Star Trek Trailer - Includes Old Spock (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puXPozd-kuc) After that, every mention was Tiberius.

I think it's just how he said it - I could hear "Tiberius". But he pronounces it by "swallowing" his "T" - like how midwesterners do when we say "curtain" or "mitten" (but it sounds like "cur-in" and "mi-in").

:dunno:

[darcy]

Hell, I've been crushing on Karl Urban since LOTR. He is teh hawtness.

[darcy]

I completely concur. I loved it.

[darcy]

I went last night with The Boy (who is not a Star Trek fan) and another friend who is. I think enough Trek stuff is just cultural now, that even The Boy got all the jokes and loved it.

[Hobbes]

I reallyreallyreally want to go. No one in my family does though! Jerks. :-P
I'm going alone today!! Want to join me? :D

DH isn't big startrek fan and he's gone for the week on business, one brother already saw it and the other is gone for two weeks on vacation (and. I. can't. wait. that. long.)... and I have to watch DD in the evenings..

so I'm playing hooky and going this afternoon!!

I can't wait!!!:yay:

:dunno:

Yeah, I hear "Tiberius" clearly in that clip, but I'm midwestern.

[leannan_si]

listening to the clip I clearly hear Siberius, not Tiberius at all. It's funny how we can watch the clip and hear different things.

[Vicky]

No, I just can't hear that. To me, he is speaking quite clearly with excellent enunciation.

[sarahs]

I can't wait to see this. Your description is one for the ages. Aside from anyone else I am going to take my neighbor's 10 yo son. He loves Star Wars but has no idea what this whole Star Trek thing is. I had so much fun acting out all the characters and talking about it to him. Geek-fest! I really, really want to show him the glory of Star Trek.

[Amanda_Reyasmom]

Karma is mean.

I can't go this afternoon. I need to take someone to the airport.

That's what I get for needing to work and playing hooky :(. I think in penance I'll work hard this evening when I get back...

Oh well, I'm determined. I think instead I'm going to put DD to bed and then have our housemate 'watch' her and see the late showing :D.

I love going to movies alone, so I may do that next weekend. I'm a leeetle low on cash at the moment so can't go this week. Colin told me at bedtime last night that he would go with me. :-) But I think he may have a hard time following the storyline. Opinions? I'm not concerned with him and the action, we took him to Ironman and he's seen the Batman movies, etc. I just don't want him to be bored.

[keight]

Yargh... after all this discussion, when i watch the clip, i hear _both_. Schrodinger's T, i guess...

And why are more movies not as good? We need more movies that are in this range of awesomeness.

[mirage1]

I reallyreallyreally want to go. No one in my family does though! Jerks. :-PExplain how it's reallyreallyreally good and they'll love it even if they don't want to. (Not that I didn't want to, but it's so good they won't be able to help themselves!)

I respectfully disagree. This movie was not awesome. Nope, not at all. Yeah.. after seeing it I would say...







It was a magnificent roast magnificently stewed slowly in magnificent juices till the entire thing burst in a magnified magnificent taste for eyes and ears. It was a magna performance of magnificent proportions.

I will have to magnify my magnificent pleasure by seeing it a second time... and third and...

[keight]

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but Randy Pausch, CMU professor and presenter of the now-famous Last Lecture (now also in book form), has a brief appearance in the movie. I haven't seen it yet, but i'm told he's in the crew of the first ship, and has a line something like, 'we have a visual'.

Oooh, I had no idea! I will look for that on Thursday

[MadAboutYou]

Dh and I saw it Saturday night and loved it (even though we aren't trekkies). We went with some friends, without the kids, but afterward agreed that we wanted to take them. Finn is the same age as Colin and I think he could follow it. But he loves Star Wars and stuff like that, which has similar backward/forward stuff.

I seriously doubt he would be bored. The visual appeal of this movie would keep him entertained, at the least.

I still can't get anyone to go with me and I've had no opportunities to go alone. :sob: I need someone to come kidnap me and take me.

I want to see it on IMAX, it's playing 10 minutes from my house, I can TASTE it (LOL) but....so close yet so far away. I have no chance of going by myself until May 30. Who knows if it will still be in IMAX then.

I am seriously irritated.

Ack, supposedly this is the last week in IMAX. This coming weekend it's being replaced (mostly likely by Night At the Museum?) They might extend it, but so far I haven't heard that.

But it's awesome on the regular screen too! In fact I just saw it again on the regular screen (ok, so obviously I'm obsessed) and loved it just as much.

[shannon]

So so so awesome.

TOO funny!

[Amanda_Reyasmom]

OMG SO AWESOME!!!!!!

It was made of awesome, basted in awesome sauce and baked in the awesome oven.

That is all.

I finally saw it last night! First let me say, Levi, was so cute.. He's in the camp that there's only 1 good "star" series and that would be the wars. So he wasn't really sure what to make of my excitement.

When we first saw Sarek, I asked if he knew who was playing him. L's answer "Who is Sarek?" I said pointed and said "that guy, Spock's father" and He's just like "but they hadn't said his name... wow, you are a dork!" And there were a BUNCH of moments I chimed in with some interesting (to me) trivia LOL... He had no idea after 6 years that I was a Star Trek nerd!

I then had to explain that you could NOT grow up in my mother's house and not learn these things... My NAME is Amanda T'Pring... he didn't get the relevance til I explained that Amanda was Spock's mother. My Brother is James Tiberious yk? Yeah, I know A LOT about ST!

Anyway.. LOVED LOVED LOVED it. Didn't quite know what to make of the love affair between Spock and Uhura, but I didn't NOT like it. I loved when Bones stumbled in and even more when they found Scotty. (And I *heart* Simon Pegg, so that just made it better!)
