I saw that movie on netflix instant play. Feels like something that was shot by a bunch of kids with an awesome idea and no budget. I loved it.

I'm going to watch it myself. The synopsis I read sounded great.

Like Huckleberry, I ran across it on Netflix. What a great surprise! It is probably the most worthy treatment of the subject of time travel [from a logical point of view] that you will ever see in a movie.

I used to think the following movie did a wonderful job of explaining time travel:

But then again, I think I was 6 years old when I first saw it.

"What are the people like? Ahhhhhh. mmmm... The shape of things to come. It's lovely Yvette Mew Mew."

Ugh, I just saw it today. Can I have my money back?

Saw. Liked it. Never watched 1 episode of Star Trek. Never watched a single Trek movie before this one.

Then I definitely suggest watching Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. That will explain some references in the new movie that you missed.

Hey, I was tutoring one of my math students earlier this week, a 9th grader. We had both seen Star Trek last weekend, and I mentioned how cool it was that they had Leonard Nimoy in the movie. Her response was, "who's Leonard Nimoy?"

Also watch "The Naked Time" from the original series for another reference. Heck, watch all three seasons.

She was only about two years old when the last Trek movie came out. Spock's ears are almost old enough to be her grandparents.

I know that one reviewer lamented the fact that the score didn't make use of the original series theme until the very end, but I thought its use was pitch perfect.
Up to that point, they were doing an "origin" story. It wasn't until then that all the set pieces reached their familiar positions from the TV series. So it was appropriate to wait to use the series theme until then.

When you pay attention to the score of any film you will often find it a bit cheesy in several places. I have been recently watching Babylon 5 and found myself shaking my head alot.

Love the starships being carried around by the crew.

Last fall, I polled a class of about 100 first-year (university) physics students (non-physics majors), and over half the students had never seen an episode of the original Star Trek series.
