bjorn_skurj Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I think the fastest I have ever been was 135 or so - in a 1969 Corvette on the interstate.My dad had a '69 Vette convertible for a little while, a car manufactured when the original Star Trek was still on TV. Had a lot of pickup, but power nothing. A bit of a beast to handle, especially after driving modern cars for a long time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bjorn_skurj Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 427? specsNah, the smaller block. Looked nice with its new paint job (blue). Father sold it went they moved to Albuquerque. He's got a '99 now. That has a lot of pickup too, but is a much easier driving experience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimmyjimmy Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 GreatestOfAllTime GOAT: Greatest Of All Time. OK. Gotcha. I gave her a gift of driving a NASCAR car on a racetrack.Best gift ever. Too cool. Side note: Try sitting down with an eight to ten year old kid and watch an episode of the original series sometime.They think, and rightfully so, that the women are all beautiful, the doctor is a crabby old man and Uhura has a salt shaker stuck in her ear.Fun stuff. Oh, and this is awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bigshoulders Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I'm not a big Star Trek fan at all, but the trailer I saw during last night's "Fringe" episode totally won me over on this new film. I'm not gonna camp out or put on Vulcan ears but I would def. like to see this on the big screen. Kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aricandover Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 saw this today and I thought the amount of throwbacks to the original was perfect. It had just enough of its own identity while still paying homage to the source material. Terrific movie all around, great script, great directing, great effects and production in general, great ensemble cast. my only criticism...Tyler Perry...WTF? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brianjeremy Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 The movie was really great. I loved it a lot and I am waiting for the next one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Hollinger. Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Movie was pitch perfect. Abrams really knocked this one out of the park. I was skeptical going in, but it felt truer to "Star Trek" than anything made in the last 20 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OOO Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I definitely liked the movie a lot, but I found the climax to be somewhat lacking. I think I needed to see a more of Eric Bana's character (so I could either hate him or feel something about him more) so that the finale would be more tense. It just kind of felt like "oh, I guess everything is resolved so its the end of the movie." I dunno. But overall, really good. Casting, action, throwbacks, etc couldn't have been done much better.

I did not realize that was Eric Bana at all. Great movie, the casting was absolutely perfect. The only one who threw me off a little was Chekhov at first because all I could see him as was Charlie Bartlett doing a russian accent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I saw the movie today and was very pleasantly surprised, some great action sequences and I thought the casting was very good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmacomber68w Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Just saw the movie tonight, I totally enjoyed it. I know NOTHING about the Star Trek franchise other than, "Beam me up Scotty". In the car I actually said "To infinity and beyond", but I was shot down by my friends, since that is a Toy Story reference oops! This movie for a non trekkie is tremendous, one of the best action/sci fi movies I have ever seen. Only downside is, The majority of the movie's plot takes place over the course of a few hours. I was hoping for more of an epic journey through space. However, this can only mean sequels! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HungryHippo Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 just saw this movie last night and really enjoyed it. Bones, Chekov and Scottie were hilarious. i couldn't help from grinning ear to ear when i'd catch little references to past Star Trek shows or foreshadowing to later events in the movie. i really like what they did with the storyline and am anxiously awaiting a new Star Trek flick. did i hear somewhere that William Shatner wanted to star in another movie?

Dude Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I was also extremely entertained. As speculation builds over a possible sequel and re-emergence of a certain Trek villain, is it not a no-brainer that this guy: should be played by this guy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
