So according to most comments here this is a movie for the people who where not really interested in Star Trek before. Hm...

I'm not a die-hard fan, never been to a convention or so, but I love TOS, TNG and DS9 (don't really like VOY and ENT). I think the responsible guys gradually destroyed what the fans liked the most (i.e. the Roddenberry style) with movies ranging from "lowest level fan-service" to absolutely terrible (Nemesis) and the Enterprise series.

I'll watch the new movie some day on DVD, but what does the success of this movie mean for the ST universe? It might lead to another prequel TV series like Enterprise, which is not the worst idea (if better done than ENT), but a prequel series is the possibility that interests me the least.

I wished Paramount would have continued the timeline after DS9 & VOY, but I think they are happy now that they "revived" a universe, which was actually never dead, with a prequel movie that adds nothing important to the ST universe, but probably brings in more money than all its predecessors.

To make it short: Good to see that Star Trek gets some new fans, but at the moment it doesn't take place in my Quadrant. So many possibilities to boldly go where no man has gone before, so few ideas...
