Is it too soon to begin discussing summer movies? The new Tarantino looks killer. Pun intended. Hopefully it won't disappoint.

Me neither ! We do not go out to the movie theater (we prefer to rent), but every few years, when a new [i]Star Trek[/i] comes out, we go on opening night. This Friday will rock. I hope it's good. I miss watching it.

Wow that looks cool. Kind of a cross between 2001 and Space 1999 in the looks dept. Sam Rockwell is great. He was freaking hilarious in Galaxy Quest and just plain awesome as Chuck Barris in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.

Agree with Blir. Can't believe I didn't hear about this movie before now.

BTW Marv (and whoever else) what did you think of Star Trek?

I saw it over the weekend. Great action and effects. Pretty funny, too. Good movie. Just not a "Star Trek" movie.

Any interpretation of Homer's Odyssey will always leave it's audience of richer mind and nourished spirit. The message of Star Trek is so ambitious, so progressive and so positive that the franchise will always resonate with me.

As far as this Star Trek film per se, I'd give it two enthusiastic thumbs up. I've always been a fan of origin stories and have waited years for this one. The franchise definitely needed a shot in the arm and taking it back in time has definitely been the Hollywood trend for the past decade (thanks George Lucas!). One very minor (or very major) inconsistency that stuck out was the Enterprise being built in Iowa as opposed to San Francisco according to lore. Technically, the writers can do anything they want with Star Trek because this is now an alternate universe, a plot device that has always been a part of Star Trek series, books, etc. Time travel stories have always been among fans' favorites and now it seems that it's the way that Star Trek will always be able to be retold. It also creates a way for TOS actors to be able to cameo in future films. I thought these new, young actors were delightful and successfully dug out the essence of the characters while deepening their mythologies. This is especially true for the Kirk / Spock / McCoy triad, whose relationship was always what gave the heart of Star Trek it's beat. The passion of Bones and the logic of Spock brought into balance by Kirk. Awesome. I could go on but I'd have to start giving spoiler information and that might not be fair. Let's reconvene in a few weeks [:I]

Star Trek was decent. The FX and CGI are great in contrast to the old cheesy Star Trek flick but I found Captain Kirk rather annoying. The green alien chick was too distracting because the makeup for her was horrible in comparison with the alien chicks. Still the movie was alot better than the dreaded Wolverine and Angels & Demons was too boring

Theres one movie that looks interesting

I am waiting for Terminator Salvation down here in Oz-bekistan!

<p align="justify">I watch bits and pieces of tarantino movies just to remind myself I'm not missing out much on today's movies. I recently bought a "Machine Girl" dvd and the first thing some moron told me was that planet error was "better." I felt like I was trapped in a [i]Clerks.[/i] moment attempting to explain the true aesthetic of a Grindhouse movie versus the big budget terds tarantino makes[}:)]

Well said.

Great characters and acting all based on fantastic writing and dialogue, which is the basis for any good movie. And the casting was spot on!

And haven't we all had the fantasy of being with some exotic green girl from another planet ever since Kirk broke that barrier back in the 60s?

I'm kinda looking forward to the latest remake of The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3. I really enjoyed the 70's one (starring Walter Matthau, Robert Shaw and Martin Balsam). The made for tv one in the 80's or early 90's, blech! This latest one starring John Travolta and Denzel Washington, may be ok. TVO (for those canadian members living in Ont.) is carrying the 70's version Saturday night at 8pm.
