I almost have to see this movie just because of how many times I saw the show as a kid.

I saw the previews for it when I saw The Watchmen and it did look really good.

I saw this movie and it was good! And this is coming from someone who never saw any of the other Star Treks!

Oh interesting. I thought about going and seeing it but figured I would be completely confused and lost. Good to know!

I saw this movie a couple days ago and really liked it.
I'm going to have to watch a few of the original episodes because I was trying to remember who that guy in the green on the left was for the whole movie.

Hmm wish I could help you out but I really can't stand star trek. I am willing to give the movie a chance though just because I heard it was so good.

My husband talked me into going to this movie last night. I was reluctant to go but gave in after hearing it was good from others. I was also promised next movie we go see is any chic flick of my choice. I absolutely hated this movie and felt it was a waste of two hours I could have been doing something else. I am not a trekkie!
