New Star Trek Movie

[gingerjedi]

I saw a piece on the BBC news this morning and the Guardian film critic Peter Bradshaw absolutely loved it, he said he felt embarrassed about how much he enjoyed it.

Bloody hell, it's not in B&W and there's no subtitles either... must be good!!

How long is the gorgeous Jennifer Morrison (Kirks mother) on the screen for?

Not long - maybe 2 minutes altogether

[Menelaus]

Not long - maybe 2 minutes altogether

Jeez. Presumably she manages to look hot during those two minutes?

Is it an independent story? I mean, would you understand what's going on not having seen a single Star Trek episode/movie before?

[Doggy Styles]

Are there any giant alien lizards in it?

[tino]

Yes you will understand it - but you may miss some of the jokes and references, but it won't spoil your enjoyment

[Platypus]

Well there is a giant alien creature in it!

You've been "re-envisioned"

EDIT: here you are (SFW)

Probably no polystyrene rocks either.

I had yesterday off so managed to catch the first showing at my local cinema (benefit: nice and quiet, I hate going in the evenings/weekends with the rest of the population).

Absolutely stunning, I loved every minute and had a smile on my face for most of the film.
