"STAR TREK" movie comments/reviews (spoilers)

OK, here is new Enterprise scaling I can live with...

it like the ship took some steroids

[Jobydrone]

I just watched the movie again (4th or 5th time I think) and a concern I had came to mind during the scene where "old" Spock meets Kirk for the first time.  They share a mind meld to make it easier for Spock to relay the events that led up to the events of the movie.  Now I'm not sure if anyone really knows how the mind meld works entirely, and maybe I am misunderstanding, but does anyone else see the potential problems for young Kirk to have access to all the knowledge and experiences of old Spock, including their history together, the results of all their future missions, and the details of his own death?

[Rico]

The simple answer is, old Spock only related what was needed.  Not all the past details, but just mainly about Nero and that situation.

[Jobydrone]

I figured there was a simple explanation like that.  I remember thinking the first time I saw it, that if Nimoy was going to provide a voice over explaining the whole situation, which took about thirty seconds screen time, what was the point of the mind meld anyway?  He could have just explained it all without the trauma and weirdness of a meld.  I guess the writers would have had to find another opportunity to drop in a mind meld somewhere, though, or Vulcan fans would have cried.

Any loon could say that they came from the future. The meld was there to confirm the validity of Spock's words. He shared those memories with Kirk to prove that they happened.

Bryan's head is going to explode now.

LOL! Hey, if you go look at Rico's pic of the day and click on te article where ILM makes this "claim", check out the image of Kirk on his bike looking at the E under construction. You can see the silhouette of two peopel standing below the forward torpedo launcher. That image was what the guy used to scale the ship in my pic a few pages back, which made the ship more like 450 meters! ILM can't even get this right!

Maybe the ship is inflatable and they blew it up bigger later on!  LOL!!!  Bottom line is it's just one of those movie goofs that will live on forever.  I don't have a big problem with it.

I loved the movie, except for destroying Vulcan. I understand this is an alternate timeline, and I'm starting to accept it a little better, but still....it's Vulcan!

The acting was great. I appreciated all of the "nods" to the original series/cast. The only actor I couldn't quite "get" was Simon Pegg as Scotty. Maybe because he had so little screen time.

[Ursula]

I felt the same way about the destruction of Vulcan.  It was just too harsh.  Absolutely loved the film though.  Came out of it buzzed and the buzz kept up for the rest of the day.

...an that's exactly why they did it. To get people to react like that. If [Unknown planet 7] was destroyed t wouldn't have mattered to us.

...also creates a whole new and interesting dynamic for the Vulcan race we have never explored before. Vulcan's as an endangered species, good stuff and full of potential story telling.
