OT: Star Trek Movie (XI)

[gregebowman]

I defintely will see the movie, even if I don't know the plot. (Kind of ruined Empires Strikes Back for me when I read the novelization before the movie came out). I agree Gary Sinise would have been my choise for McCoy too, but I guess he learned his lesson in greed.

As far what "camp" I'm in, I haven't really thought about it. I consider myself a trekkie, because I'm only a year or two older than the origanal show myself, and vaguely remember seeing an episode or two prime time. I think Roddenberry went too far out of the way when he didn't want a violent solution to a crisis. Not that the show back then could have handled a Federation vs Klingon war in Errand of Mercy budgetwise.

I think today's audience want the violent solution over the peaceful one, unless it's a very creative way to resolve the differences. I'd rather see ships shooting it out in space than Picard talking himself hoarse trying not to shoot.

I just hope this movie is as good as the "Genesis" trilogy of films (2-4), and not some debacle like V or last 2 NG films. I guess we'll find out next year.
