Not that I put much stock in imdb ratings seeing that that 9.1 is Shawshank Redmption (an enjoyable flick, but highest rated movie of all time? Seriously?) But even so, a 96% from the critics and an 88% from the community at RT? iSm's 96% might have been an out of thin air number, but it's not much of an exageration. Hell, Citizen Kane only has 90% from the community at RT. So yeah, I don't think it's much hyperbole to say, "Nearly everyone who's seen this movie has liked it."

I'm not saying it isn't popular. I was just pointing out that iSm's claim was… Um… inflated a bit.

Honestly, I wouldn’t give a damn if it was getting a 99.9999% approval rating. It would still be a piece of shyt movie as far as I’m concerned.

And one of the biggest Star Trek fans I know hates it. So?

(So far, I haven’t heard Bjo Trimble’s opinion yet. It will be interesting to hear; she’s the T’Pau Trek fandom.)
