JMS Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 They went out on monday night to see Wrath of Kahn, and got to see the new Star Trek episode, intorduced by Lenard Nemoy in disguiis. That's pretty cool. They show lenard Nemoy introducing the world premier in Houston three hours before Sidney's. http://screenrant.com/star-trek-reviews-premiere-vic-6583/ "Proving that science fiction can still be great entertainment, J.J. Abrams appears to have impressed Star Trek fans at the official world premiere of Star Trek, who gave the film a five-minute standing ovation at the Sydney Opera House in Australia today. Meanwhile, mere hours beforehand, flummoxed fans at the Alamo Drafthouse theater in Austin, TX, deceived into thinking they were seeing a special, extended version of Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, were pleasantly surprised when a disguised Leonard Nimoy greeted them and announced they would be seeing the new film in its entirety. ILM's influence on the film is reported as visually stunning, and lucky Australian fans are scheduled to see the movie first, as it opens a day before the American release." http://entertainment.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/04/08/1430234 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EersSkins05 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 NERDS!!!!! Just kiddin. I love Star Trek. I still wish they'd make a few more TNG movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 somewhere in FL, larry just had a heart attack. I've known for a year that this is going to be the first Trek movie that I didn't see on the day it came out. (Just as Quantum of Solace was the first Bond film since Diamonds are Forever I didn't see on Day One.) Because of Mom, I'm going to have to wait for the DVD.

VASkins540 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Nice, I'm definitely looking forward to this. The trailers piqued my interest enough that I started watching The Original Series to tide me over until its release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenspandan Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 so freaking psyched. i can't wait. Just kiddin. I love Star Trek. I still wish they'd make a few more TNG movies. i am 1000% with you bro as long as we're talking about First Contact as opposed to Nemesis or Insurrection!

BigMike619 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Nice, I'm definitely looking forward to this. The trailers piqued my interest enough that I started watching The Original Series to tide me over until its release. I love how the trailer starts off kind of like a frat boy action movie with him getting in a bar fight and being arrested...but then when he introduces himself its like "OOOOH" and sylar looks like he has the spock role down perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoony Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Why would they premiere it in Australia first? I can think of few things more American than Star Trek. Besides, I had no idea Australia had nerds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Here's a brief synopsis of one of the movies opening this weekend that was listened in the Columbus Dispatch Weekender: >>>Timecrimes Rated R The Spanish time-travel thriller sends its protagonist (Karra Elejalde) 90 minutes into the past -- causing mass complications. (Timecrimes, recently screened during the 24-hour Ohio Science-Fiction Marathon at the Drexel Theatre, will be part of a "Best of Marathon" double bill with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.)<<< I wonder if there's a chance I could get to see the new movie?

Larry Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 OK, so just got back from taking Mom to lunch. The restaurant has TVs, tuned to ESPN SportsCenter, which is running commercials to something that they call "Star Trek Futures Week", which seems to be a tie-in between SportsCenter and the new movie. Commercial has lots of clips from the movie. (Restaurant keeps the sound turned off on the TVs. And the restaurant gets their TV from Dish Network, and their satellite reception, well, let's say that it creates an ambient pressure which is below standard atmospheric conditions upon the genitalia of male donkeys.) But they ran the commercial 3-4 times (which means they probably ran it 8-10 times, and 3-4 times the TV wasn't showing "signal lost. Re-acquiring."), so I saw several tiny clips. Let's just say that I suspect that I'm going to be more depressed than usual, for the next week or two. (Y'know, if Paramount would sell me a DVD of the movie for 100 bucks, when the film opens, I'd buy it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
