I think you are nuts. The first hour seemed like an adrenaline rush. I was on the edge of my seat through many of the action sequences.

I think most Trek fans will eat this up except the canon nerds that get pissed if a medal is not placed in the right spot.

Is it perfect? No, but I don't think any Trek film has been perfect. As a whole, I like this better than Khan. Khan had a much more emotional moment, but overall, this film kicked arse. The chicks were hot. I want an Orion Slave girl.

The audience I saw it with, laughed, cheered and clapped throughout the whole movie. The IMAX experience was great.

Can't wait for the next installment.

I never see movies at the theater more than once and I am almost certain to see this one again, but I admit I am so happy to have Trek back, I am biased.

Bold statement my friend. I guess I have to see this in a theater.

Agreed, and I am one of those canon nerds that went into this expecting it to be horrible and even wanting it to be. I'd still probably put it in my top3, but no way I can put it at 1 right now. Of course this SUPER HUGE Trek nerd friend of mine has it as his #1 and I can't believe it

SPOILERS

You see, that kinda goes with showing too much because of the trailer. The opening scene really didn't do much for me because I already knew he was doing to die in a self sacrificing way. And then they didn't even find a creative way of doing it. Then because when the hearing was disrupted by he distress call to Vulcan, I knew it was doing to be blown up. Maybe that is why it seemed a little slow for me, I had to keep waiting for it to get to something major that I didn't already know.

That said, having thought about it, I got 2 questions;

So when did Romulan planet blow up? Spock was still alive so it couldn't have been that far in the future, and yet Nemesis involved their planet.

What was the connection with the Klingons...why was there an attack before both major events (where Kirk's dad died and when they blew up Vulcan).
