So,

So it finally came to the Kuhn here in Lebanon so we went and saw it last night. Sat through four previews that made me groan, starting with Terminator and Transformers and ending with Harry Potter. So not in a hurry to see any of those.

Anyway, the movie was so over-the-top but enjoyable for the simple fact that the actors did a really good job impersonating the TOS cast without making a huge joke out of the whole thing. I felt that I could believe each of them would be the characters they ended up being later on. I think young Kirk had a big attitude problem, but to be honest I think his acting was way more convincing than William Shatner's. He was a bit of a jerk, but he acted the part really well and of course in the end managed to redeem himself by Saving the Day.

The alternate time stuff always confuses me, though, when it's all said and done.

I think you two are thinking about First Contact, where-in the Borg change time and the Enterprise crew has to go back and make sure time goes the way it should. And they suceeded, but not without some change (ie Cochrine telling stories about the borg at a commencement speech and leaving an empression on Archer).

I have seen "First Contact", but it was LONG time ago! One of these days I'll have to see it again.

You should. Its one of my favorites. Its especially a good one for Picard and Data fans. And even includes The Doctor from Voyager (or Mr. Woolsey as I know him better as).

I just looked up all the TNG movies... "Generations" had a bit of time alteration, too... That could be what I'm thinking of since I saw that one more recently...

Not really. Time wasn't changed at all. Kirk was stuck in a nexus which had him in some kind of dream world where time went by very slowly, but other then that, the timeline remained the same.

The Voyage Home had time travel, Where they altered time by bringing the whales home.

*thinks* There was a couple episodes of TNG involving Time alternation.

Ah, okay. Like I said, I've only seen them each once and they're all kind of fuzzy and mixed up in my head! :-)

I love "Voyage Home".

I think the Voyage HOme is everyone's favorite of the TOS movies. That or The Wrath of Khan.

I've heard a lot of people say Wrath of Khan is good, but I haven't seen it yet. I think Dan has it, though.

Now, that I *have* seen. My mother maintains it's the best. (Of the original movies, I guess.) I sure liked it a lot. (I have to confess we think Voyage Home is rather on the silly side!)

I think that's part of why I like it - because it is lightweight and just... fun. But yeah, it's hard to take it seriously if thinking too deeply about it.

Well, most people say the best movies are the even numbered ones, but I don't think it really makes a difference. but then I was always more likely to rewatch TNG films.

They have the ST Trilogy set out (The Wrath of Khan, The Search For Spock, and The Voyage Home) in a set.

That does ring a bell. Thanks!

It was my favorite of The TNG films:)
