New Star Trek film looks incredible!

[Elessarina]

This movie was rubbish after the first scene but it really sealed it's fate with the introduction of "Red Matter".

If one drop of "Red Matter" is sufficient to make a star or a planet implode, and if Spock's mission in the cheesy spinny ship was to implode one star, why come did Spock need to bring along several hundred liters of "Red Matter?"[/quote]

He stole it

, the mining attachment on the bad guy ship was unnecessarily phalic and the fight scenes on it were thus intensely homo-erotic.

It was a mining ship kitted out with Borg technology

Liked the green slut. Alien women are the embodiment of our favorite split infinitive.

Kirk was a dumb-ass and their "command structure" was laughable

Kirk always was a dumbass- did you watch the original series? also learn something about british Naval history

I've clearly missed something, do you have a link to explain it or can you tell me the back story?

[Elessarina]

hang on I am wrong

Red matter was an unstable matter with distinct gravitational properties, specifically a propensity to condense into quantum singularities, first seen in the 24th century.
When a star went supernova and threatened the entire Milky Way Galaxy in 2387, Ambassador Spock used his spacecraft, the Jellyfish, to inject red matter into the star, creating an artificial black hole which devoured the star. Unfortunately, Spock was unable to complete his task before the supernova destroyed Romulus.
Both Spock and the Narada, commanded by Nero, were pulled into the black hole created by the red matter. The Narada would end up in the year 2233, where Nero drastically altered the timeline by destroying the USS Kelvin and killing George Kirk. Spock emerged from the black hole in 2258 of the alternate reality, where his ship was captured by Nero. Nero then used the red matter that was aboard the Jellyfish to create a black hole in the center of Vulcan, destroying the planet.
The Narada was ultimately destroyed when the Spock of that era rammed the Jellyfish into the Narada. The red matter that was aboard the Jellyfish ignited, creating a massive black hole which crushed the Narada before devouring it. (Star Trek)

According to the Star Trek: Countdown prequel comic book, which details the events leading up to the destruction of Romulus, red matter is an artificial substance created by the Vulcan Science Academy. It is manufactured from decalithium, a rare isotope which the Narada was equipped to mine.
The novelization of 2009's Star Trek by Alan Dean Foster states that red matter's destructive properties are magnified by intense heat and pressurization that a star or a planetary core can provide.

Hey, at least Star Trek doesn't have racist robots like Transformers.

Lord, I hate Michael Bay.

That was terrible Ani

I just got around to watching this yesterday. It was a bit meh really. The first half I just wanted them to stop introducing characters I already knew and get on with it - the second was moderately interesting but lacked any real spark of originality - a straightforward punch-up in space. Let's hope for better things from the sequel(s), now that they've got the intros over with.

I left as soon as the "elder" Spock showed up. We didn't need Nemoy in this movie twice.

Shouldn't have included him in as much as they did.

I quite liked it, but I suppose it's because it's the first time I've seen a Star Trek Movie that wasn't Nemesis.

Netflix says it will be here tomorrow. I'll comment on the remainder of the movie after I've seen it.

I thought it was an enjoyable, undemanding, saturday-night-with-a-bathtub-full-of-popcorn-and-several-bottles-of-wine romp

If i was going to romp on a Saturday night I think my choices would be a little different
