Haven’t seen the movie. However, “But that’s because it’s a fantasy movie”...

As a rule, it is MORE important for a fantasy to keep realistic where it can so that the audience will relate to it as a real story. Just tossing sanity out whenever it is inconvenient is a classic sign of truly bad fantasy.

I was planning on going to see it, but if all the people who like it consider “Lost” to be great TV...

I went to see it in IMAX today. My brother and I (51 and 52) and three guys I work with (27, 26 and 23)

We all thought it was great fun, and a welcome change. Mind you, I have not gone to a theater in...well, I simply cannot remember. But I enjoyed it immensely.

I know there were probably people walking out of the theater arguing “No way he could have done that, if they (INSERT SCENE FROM MOVIE HERE)...”

It was fluff and entertainment. I want something that is more real, I will watch “Band of Brothers” or something like that. And people will nitpick that.

I though McCoy was perfect...Sulu, was, well...NOT Sulu (THANK GOD) and Spock was well done.

I DO NOT watch television, cannot stomach it, and haven’t watched in years, and am a moviephile (Favorite Movie: “The Best Years of Our Lives”) so does my review help?

Go ahead...it was fun!
