Why do I get the sneaking suspicion this movie is going to piss all over everything Star Trek is? |

I'm one of those people who has probably never seen a combined 6 episodes between all the variations they've ever done... which is halfways odd I suppose considering my level of geek, and how much random shit I know about the Star Wars universe... and the only episode of Trek I actually remember at all is watching the Tribbles episode when I was really young. So I mean, maybe if you're a full on trek freak, you'd get pissed at some stuff, but as someone who just likes geeky sci-fi shit, it was a very enjoyable action movie set in space.

The movie was pretty awesome. I would give it a 5/5. I really don't think they could of made it any better. I thought all the characters were great..McCoy was perfect..Scotty was great (mainly cuz I like Simon Pegg)..New Spock was pretty good and like....WTF Leonard Nimoy was awesome and ...can act apparently? The only prob I had with the movie was with Kirk the actor comes off all wrong to me..Doesn't seem like some tuff rebellious farm kid to me. Chekov and the kid that played was funny. Sulu was ok but not great. what's will all the different races Vulcan/Romulan/human/Green people/etc looking like they all evolved from primates ... I don't know just bothers me. |

There's something in the Star Wars cannon about them all having been "seeded" on their planets or some shit by some other, ancient humanoid race, and that's why they are all so similar or something. |

I don't give two shits about all the good reviews from Rotten Tomatoes. I thought it sucked. Any franchise that's turned into pandering to a mass audience for the sake of a dollar gets inevitably ruined in the pursuit of that dollar. I don't want the average Jill with a weekly manicure and bleach blonde hair to come to this movie and go "OMG A CAR CHASE AND HOT GUIZE I LOVE THIS MOVIE". I want her to hate it, she hated it when it was regular old TNG and TOS on weekly NBC, she should hate it now. I want it to be geeky and unlovable by the masses, I want every vapid cunt that walks into that theatre to twist her face in disgust when she can't understand Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. And I want her to get herpes off the movie seat while she's at it. |

Well the separate evolution thing goes like this. In the history of earth certain things that seam miraculous to anyone foolish enough to actually believe in "intelligent design". Eyes and wings being 2 examples. In fact, eyes and wings have evolved separately several different times. It is the environment and the laws of physics that dictate what is successful design. Take wings for example, say there are 4 sibling dragonflies, 3 normal, and the middle one, he got bigger wings. He gets made fun of, but he can fly faster and further and with greater ease. Making his ability to survive long enough to procreate more likely. Thus he has a greater opportunity to pass on his genetic material. So here is thing. Two arms and two legs are efficient. On earth we see 4 legs is often good for speed, though not necessarily. Skin will be influenced by environment. Eyes will be influenced by environment and place on the food chain. It really isn't that far fetches that if there were another species that it would be humanoid in shape. I just don't but that they would look like us with prosthetic ridges on our faces. Or space elves. Though due to the chemical nature of water and carbon. There is a good chance complex extraterrestrial life would be carbon based and require water. |

I think a being with 6 limbs would be feasible. Or eyes that see not only visible light, but other waves outside the spectrum humans use, like UV. We tend to demonize species in fantasy that are bug-like in nature. I'd like to find a peace-loving, intelligent species that looks like a cockroach. Gravity might also be an influence. In these movies we assume all these planets have about the same gravitational pull as earth. A planet with much stronger gravity would breed humanoids that, in our gravity, would have super strength. Like the concept behind Superman. The possibilities are endless. |

In superman it is our star, sol, that gives him his powers. Gravity influences bone, muscle, and circulatory strength. Exoskeletons are and open circulatory systems are gravity dependent. For insect like creatures to get much larger, and thus possibly evolve greater intellect, they would have to have an environment with relatively low gravity. As for peace loving who knows. You can make arguments for violence being native to all species or that ultimately any intelligent species must eventually adopt peaceful means or face self extermination. |

Nerd moment: We're both right. Here's what WIKI has to say: The source of Superman's powers has changed subtly over the course of his history. It was originally stated that Superman's abilities derived from his Kryptonian heritage, which made him eons more evolved than humans.[69] This was soon amended, with the source for the powers now based upon the establishment of Krypton's gravity as having been stronger than that of the Earth. This situation mirrors that of Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter. As Superman's powers increased, the implication that all Kryptonians had possessed the same abilities became problematic for writers, making it doubtful that a race of such beings could have been wiped out by something as trifling as an exploding planet. In part to counter this, the Superman writers established that Kryptonians, whose native star Rao had been red, only possessed superpowers under the light of a yellow sun.[95] More recent stories have attempted to find a balance between the two explanations. |

Both portray similar happy go lucky optimistic futures. Something I find to have the same childish wish fulfillment as religion. That being said, as someone who does not really care for the canon of Star Trek, I found the movie to be entertaining. I think that is why I am attracted to more naturalistic and less optimistic science fiction like William Gibson, Frank Herbert, Brian Herbert, Warhammer 40K, Asimov's Foundation series, ect. |
