      I didn't mind the time travel in this case, it was necessary IMO to re-boot the franchise and give the actors the freedom to make the characters their own. Otherwise you end up with young actors trying to imitate the original cast and well that's just a recipe for suck.

      IMO this was the best Star Trek movie since Wrath of Kahn or Search for Spock. The only two trek movies I enjoyed growing up. I hope JJ Abrahms keeps it up, though he needs to cut down on the close ups. I even got my Fiance to watch it and she hates all the trek movies, she likes the OG TV series though. She really liked it, it kinda killed her to admit it but she liked it.

      I don't recall time travel in any Star Wars movie. :huh:
      Star Trek however has done it more than once I believe but hopefully now they can just focus on the stories.

          Well thanks to this movie the time travel in the other movies never happened, right? So basically it's an original idea now!

          Kinda.

              Just curious, how do you arrive at 80% of Star Trek movies involving time travel? Off the top of my head the ones I recall using time travel are 4: Voyage Home, 7: Generations, 8: First Contact, and now 11: Abrahm's . That's 4 of 11? Admittedly I may be forgetting something, it's been a while since I've seen them all.

                  Maybe I'm just old , but sci-fi on tv is a treat and I tend to take what I'm presented with. Time travel is a fun venue.
                  It leaves every story line open and allows the storyteller to use the original "reality" as an anchor.

                          Star Trek Beyond--most TOS-like film yet of the three new ones (or even the old ones)
                          by Ovation
                          If you're a Trek fan (even if you're not warm to the new ones), you should find Beyond entertaining. I read somewhere (a review or a post on a forum--can't remember where exactly) that Beyond is a film that would slot in with the TOS films of the 80s, if only they'd had the tech/budgets back then. A...

                          Here it is, the fourth - and possibly the last - of the movies featuring the cast from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Yes, I said the last - one of the bylines touting this film is "A Generation's Final Journey                          ...

                          New Star Trek movie sure to be bittersweet--Anton Yelchin (Chekov) died yesterday
                          by Ovation
                          However one feels about the Trek revival on film (I've watched Trek since the fall of 1973, as a 6 year old, seen every episode and movie of every version of Trek--I'm a big fan of the new movies), any Star Trek fan (or fan of movies) has to be saddened at the news of Anton Yelchin's tragic death yesterday,...

                          Star Trek TOS Movie Blu-Ray set
                          by impala454
                          I recently bought the TOS original movie set on BD and have started watching them. I'll add to this post each time I watch another one to give a quick review. I think the set is a pretty good value ($80/6 BDs + bonus disc).
