I totally got a kick out of the nokia tone.
Smues said:Just got back. Just remove Star Trek from the title and I really liked it (minus some stupid stuff at the beginning.) I'll just assume that this becomes an alternate reality timeline technobabble thing, because otherwise everything that happened on 28? seasons of television shows didn't happen, making the shows meaningless and fucking everything up.

Can someone explain for those of us that don't catch any of the media hype machine and haven't seen the movie yet how it's not a prequel? Is it just because folks prefer to call it a "reboot" or whatever? I guess I don't see it not being a prequel until they actually make some sequels, if that makes sense. Until then it's just a weird reinterpretation prequel thingy it seems like.
Smues said:Oh yeah one thing I forgot. I spent the whole movie trying to decide if Sulu was played by the guy who was on an episode of House as a pain freak who had to be dominated by a dominatrix. I finally decided it was and would look it up when I got home. I look it up, and sure I was right, but also he was fucking Harold from those White Castle movies. Yeah, I recognize that a dude was in one episode of a TV show, and not that he was Harold, not that I've seen the movies but I've seen the ads enough I should have recognized him. Weird be I.

Canadian Destroyer213 said:Now, only seeing a few of the movies, and that was years ago, maybe someone who is a bigger fan can answer me this. How does this movie mess up the rest of the series? Both Spock and Kirk ended up in their rightful positions. We saw how each of the crew members was added to the ship.Vulcan was destroyed, but Old Spock said that he found a new planet to cultivate and there were some survivors.
dubq said:Speaking of Cloverfield.. anyone else think that giant red monster on the snow planet looked like a red Cloverfield?
Also the fact that Spock's mom died YEARS before her time.Sabre said:So everyones complaining about a star trek reboot, yet the batman reboot was the greatest thing ever?

Because the Kirk we know from the TV series is fundamentally a different kirk in the movie. He is rebelous because of the loss of his father, and Vulcan as we know it is gone. There may be a colony of vulcans being rehomed, but billions died, and as a result so may have any potential leaders who helped shape the federation into what we see during the various incarnations of the series.
Take for example this. Due to them being in a different reality, and as spock claimed their destinys are now changed, the federation will be different.
Potential decisons that kirk now makes will affect the entire outcome over the star trek verse.
These Romulans in the movie weren't military. As for the face tattoos, apparently it represents some type of loss. Normally it's painted on, and it would fade over time...but they had it tattooed on because their pain from losing their planet would never go away.Captain of Outer Space said:Nice shout out to Slusho or whatever it was from Cloverfield as well.
Sooo... the Romulans got out of their shoulderpads on everything 80s phase and are now into their tribal tattoo and heavy leather coat late 90s MMAer phase.
Well, your DVDs of those shows aren't going to cease to exist because of a time paradox, so you can still enjoy them.Smues said:Dr. Zaius said:Also, because of the events of this movie, all the other "Star Trek" movies can never happen.
Neither can any of the TV shows outside of Enterprise. Thus my problem with it.
