Star Trek XI
Has anyone watched this already?
The plot, casting, visual effects, everything was awesome. Even Leonard Nimoy plays in it. Something not to miss even for a non trekkie fan.
I have been trying to get the wife to go with me but she hates sci-fi stuff so it has been a very tough sell
Wth? The plot was awful. And the 'science' was like a bad episode of fringe. It was mildly entertaining (in an 'action movie' way), but it wasn't star trek.

Some inconsistencies? I'd list them, but I can't do hide tags here.
I agree...it wasn't Star Trek...
Then again, I am a die hard trekker and I had a hard time when they decided to rewrite over 60 years of trek history. I was hoping that they would time travel and correct everything. Bottomline: I didn't like it.
Nimoy needs to retire
The CGI and special effects were great, however. Its 'action movie' quality and the extensive marketing hype was enough to keep movie goers interested. That's why its doing so well in theatres.
I think this gives them a way to "reboot" Star Trek while refrencing the source. By the way, you should read the prequel comic as it helps to justify calling it Star Trek XI.
As a Star Trek movie, meh. As a Sci Fi movie, awesome. I still like Star Trek II the best.
