At least in Star Wars they are in the middle of an actual war where rapid field promotion is reasonable. The Civil War produced several generals in their early 20s.

Yep, GC ... when the product placement is so obnoxious it bothers even me, you know it was huge, obtrusive, and inappropriate on screen.

You were getting popcorn,right?

All this talk of Spock and Kirk...

Say hello to Kirk's mom:

The blatant Depends Undergarments ads also threw me off. Do we really need to know about the uhura in her panties?

Helloooooooooooo Mrs. Kirk!

I finally saw it. Fun fun fun movie!!!!! So much fun! I am firmly in the love it camp. I only watched some of the original and all of TNG. I loved all the "dammits". I had no problem with the storyline, the timeline or the history.

The only thing that bugged me is they didn't show Spock telling Kirk where Pike was.

Because it's a fantasy movie about space and time travel. Oh and they blow stuff up. How can it not be fun?

I also loved the first Transformers movie and will see the 2nd in the theater. So take my review with that filter.

Ditto to both. We can have our own love it thread.

Virgin records is still going out business, so I picked up the entire Star Trek series for a steal ... with the cool new special effects.

I just saw an episode with those for the first time a few days ago, and it was bitchin'

Purists can bite me.

Whatwhatwhat?? They Special Editioned TOS? BOO. Case by case my ass!

So you won't watch a movie that has 1.4 seconds cut from the original roadshow release but changing the effects is ok?

(I don't really care, I just like the idea of you telling purists to **** off.)
