That would be the logical choice for me too considering I thought it was just OK.

Oh, I get ya. And I understand completely. You might have to fight ChrisIsAll to get your hands on a copy, though! :)

Besides, doing the logical thing would make you an unfeeling Vulcan. And even Spock defied logic now and again!

This movie did NOT work for me. There was absolutely nothing in it that made any sense at all, and I hated how they just either ignored or trashed almost everything canon. It has so many contradictions of logic and plot holes they could rename it the Anti-Trek Movie.

I'll be getting it. Very fun movie. Sure, there were some plot holes, but they made up for it in pure fun.

My take precisely. Closest prior movie with the original crew would be The Voyage Home, IMO. And I just LOVED that one.

Now, do I get the one or two disk DVD?

As it's a reboot...they have no canon to "trash".

A great Spockism, Crisisright. Logic should have told me that would be your reply.

Whatever DVD you decide to buy will be great. One of the few films I enjoyed this year. I just kept chanting to myself, as I entered the theater, that this will not have William Shatner and everything was fine. It did have Leonard Nimoy, who kept in character. He has his character finely tuned.

I'm in too. I saw it on IMAXX 3 times and am looking forward to owning it. I know a lot of true fans didn't like it much(my friends told me so)but I enjoyed it as a stand alone movie.

I'm not a die hard Trekkie despite growing up with it so I saw it as a fun movie too. And it's in the mail from Amazon according to an email I got yesterday.

Yeah my Blu-ray is on it's way here as well. Being UK based we win for once and I should get my 2-Disc version on Monday for £16 . Not braggin' or nuffin'....

I really enjoyed it and consider one of the best summer blockbuster style movies ever. So many of those types of movies have FX and action but little else. This had a decent plot (even with holes), decent acting and was really funny.

I hope there's enough of Simon Pegg and Karl Urban talking as well. They're my fave two actors/characters from the movie. Hopefully they won't be overshadowed by the US cast, although I'm interested in their take on things as well.

Getting closer....

Just saw Trek on sale at CVS- they're famous for breaking street-dates. But it's the single disk, and $24.99 to boot!!!
I'll wait two more days, thank you.

By the way, for all you Trekkies out there - and for just anyone who loves movies, really - here's a link to BestBuy's "Black Friday" sales ad that's been leaked and posted over at dealnews.com

http://dealnews.com/Best-Buy-Black-Friday-Ad.html?c=502

Look down toward the bottom of the page, second and third from the bottom:

Star Trek: Wrath of Khan, and Star Trek: The Voyage Home, on BluRay, for $8 each.

I'm SOOOOO there.

Also, Target's ad was leaked, too. Supernatural seasons for $13 each (but BestBuy has S4 on BluRay for $15), 2001: A Space Odyssey on BluRay for $9...

Looks like I'll have a busy day!

I'm excited for this one, but I'll have to wait for Santa to bring my copy.

I was excited about the new cast and what they'd do with the story. I like Trek, but was never an adamant fan. TNG, more thatn TOS, was my thing growing up.

At any rate, I loved the movie. Despite the flaws created by the time travel, it was fun and energetic. Something the Trek movies have needed for a long time. If you want the Trek movies to keep going without having to introduce a slew of new characters, then this was definately the way to go. And it was done exceedingly well, IMHO. Though I heard from more than one source (my cousin's husband, a retired Navy Lieutenant, among them) that Kirk's meteoric rise was far, far, FAR too quick for their taste . . . still . . . fun movie.

Having just finished watching it, I have to say...

HELL FREAKING YEAH!

I rented it on BluRay. I'll be buying it, definitely.

I'm not even much of a Trekkie. The movies have just left me cold, more and more lately. But this one just ROCKED. VERY fun. Urban IS Bones. And Pine does a fantastic Kirk, without pantomiming Shatner. The whole movie just felt perfectly cast. The action had me on the edge of my seat at times, the tension was very much there, and just tons and tons of energy.

Yes, there were plot holes. But that never stopped a Trek movie before!

I'm hoping JJ Abrams takes over the franchise; if he can keep bringing this kind of entertainment, I'll be a Trek fan for a long, long time.

LOVED THIS MOVIE!

It's a cash cow, JJ is already working on the sequel(2012).

I liked it much better the second time, and that doesn't usually happen with me.

This has to be the best looking Blu-Ray I own.

I liked Armageddon much better the second time also- it's the subsequent viewing discovery factor in ADD film-making!

Only appears for a microsecond.

Actually, ILM confirmed it, and posted a pic when it was still in theatres. Still cool though.

Oh, that's a forgone conclusion now. Abrahms was signed to at least produce the sequel over the summer. He still hasn't committed to directing, though.

They mention on the Blu Ray that they plan to do a few, and then, whatever Trek film is the last Bad Robot production - at the end of the movie Porthos (Archer's dog that Scotty "lost") will just materialize out of nowhere.

I keep enjoying it. It keeps sneaking back into my DVD player.
And Bruce Greenwood has progressed nicely since his one-line role in First Blood.
