(called "Star Trek") and it's bloody good.
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7w4vk5OZmn8> 'Trailer 3 - in HD'
Seems more action oriented than the rest of the films and has a nice
little revenge plot line as well as some totty (of both persuasions)
as a distraction.
It follows the main cast through their first mission aboard the
Enterprise and is directed by J.J. Abrams (Lost, Fringe) and features
a rather unknown Chris Pine as Kirk (I could eat him alive), Zachary
Quinto as Spock (Heoroes, 24) Eric Bana as the baddie, our local Simon
Pegg as Scotty and Winona Ryder even has a few brief appearances as
Spock's mummy.

Probably not for everyone, it's an action Sci-Fi flick after all, but
I took mother to see it with me and she enjoyed it too.

Although not a Trekkie myself, I find the similarity between the name of
the actor portraying the young Kirk and that of the Captain in the pilot
episode (Christopher Pike(1)) uncannily similar.

I don't want to fuel your paranoia, but Cpt. Pike's in this one too.
To quoth the man himself, "Your father was in charge of a star ship for 12
minutes and saved 800 lives. I dare you to do better".
Hey, I did say that there were some cheesy lines.

Before I bugger off to bed, can I just take exception to this, and point out
that this film has the most stupid revenge plot ever, please?

Look at Nero's motivation - he's slightly pissed off because his home
planet's been destroyed, but then he travels back in time and gains access
to the technology to stop the destruction happening.
Does he scoot on his merry way and stop his planet being destroyed? Does he
buggery. He uses the technology to try to blow up two completely unrelated
planets and to torment (apparently) the only person in the entire galaxy who
lifted a finger to save his home planet in the first place. And, on the
way, he destroys 20-odd ships from a *totally* unrelated race for no fucking
reason what-so-ever.
To me that's not a "nice little revenge plot line".

Could I refer Sir to any daily newspaper?
Because (let's be honest here) that's nowhere near as fucked-up as the
justifications for half the shit that happens daily on this rather small
planet in an unfashionable region of the Milky Way.

I have already made the greatest contribution to the fight against climate
change that I can make: I have decided not to breed. Now quit bugging me and
go and talk to the Catholics.

Yeah, but once the timeline had changed (from the viewpoint of those
that travelled back in time) it became an alternate reality. So even
though the Rommy planet had not yet been destroyed it was not the *same*
planet as the one Nero was from. Everything would have been different.
Once it was destroyed, it was destroyed.
I quite like the fact that the sanctimonious self-righteous Federation
bullshit was removed to make the film more enjoyable. Why the hell
(other than 'just for kicks') did they shoot the fuck out of Nero's ship
since it was going to be destroyed anyway?
BGN
He did have 20 years in the alternative reality to get rather pissed
off about it.
Plus if the baddie hadn't been totally OTT then the MPAA & BBFC would
have given the film a higher certificate than a 12A because violence
is only justified if it is reasonable in comparison to the threat.
Therefore if the baddie had just sat there sobbing and Kirk pressed
the LET'S BLOW HIM UP MWAHAHAHAHAH! button it wouldn't have been
justified.
BGN
Was it going to be destoyed? Was there an escape capsule or whatever
on the futuristic ship that could have let Nero do evil, evil things
to the Vulcan & Federation peeps through the wormhole, whever that
might have been a portal to?

I like The Onion. However, there were no Kingons in this film,
therefore no subtitled dialogue.

A decent (for a cam) version of it from Kingdom was released this
morning. It uses the audio from the DEViSE release and the video from
the Russian Telesync (doesn't look like a TS to me, it's a cam) - and
it's REASONABLE quality for cam. The audio is, for some reason,
encoded at 172kb/sec when the source DEViSE audio was only 115kb/sec.
