yeah,yeah,you think every movie is a great movie. lol

Star is great, but I don't like Trek. I would prefer a new movie ending with gate.

Star Wars was dead in a different sense (ie. numbered films simply not being made anymore), but it was still dead before Disney picked it up. 

At a time when there was very little public interest in Star Trek (outside of the Trek faithful), Abrams breathed new life into the series and brought in many new fans that would never have been remotely interested in the material before.  He took the nerd-stigma away (for the most part) and most importantly made it profitable again.

My parents weren't into it, so I never grew up watching it, and none of my friends watched it, and I never got into it.

I don't have any predjudice against Star Trek.  I like a lot of Star Trek movies and shows.  However, after seeing the first Star Trek reboot, I did not care for it whatsoever.  The characters were completely altered which isn't explained simply by a branching off into an alternate timeline.  Some of the scenes were completely ripped from Star Wars.  And, Leonard Nimoy, who swore in his book "I Am Spock" (which I read) that he would never appear in a movie where his character was not integral to the plot, wanders around aimlessly in the film for no other purpose other than to meet the new actors playing the original characters and acknowledge them in their roles. 

As for Into Darkness, I saw a 9 MINUTE LONG trailer for the film when my wife and I went to see The Hobbit.  For the first several minutes, I couldn't even tell what the preview was for.  But, I knew instantly that I didn't like it.  I even turned to my wife and said, "Whatever movie this is, it looks horrible."  As the trailer dragged on, and it became more apparent that it was for the new Star Trek, I said, "They are eventually going to play The Hobbit, right?"

I gave J.J. Abrams Star Trek a chance the first time, I didn't like it.  That's just my personal taste, and I'm entitled to it.

That dead Star Wars brought in almost $850 million worldwide in it's last outing in 2005 and to this day still holds the record for all-time best opening on a Thursday.

The title of the book "I Am Not Spock" was originally a joke that came out of an incident at an airport where a woman introduced Leonard Nimoy to her daughter as "Spock".  Nimoy had no idea that the playful title would be taken literally by the masses who thought the book was a rejection on Nimoy's part of the celebrity of the character in which he was portraying.  Years later, he wrote "I Am Spock" to clear up the misunderstanding and convey just how much he actually embraced the fictional character as part of his life.  To the point where he would articulate conversations in his mind that would take place with one side of the conversation coming from Spock's perspective.  I understand why Leonard Nimoy would agree to be in a Star Trek film.  He appeared in two episodes of The Next Generation reprising his Spock role, "Unification" parts 1 & 2.  My issue is with the fact that his role in the reboot was a complete contradiction of what he said in "I Am Spock".  And, his first appearance in the film, when Kirk gets stranded on that planet and attacked by that monster, a robed figure appears with a hood over his head waving the creature away.  Watch the first Star Wars film "A New Hope" and tell me that's not a rip-off of Luke Skywalker's first meeting with Ben Kenobi.  Why was J. J. Abrams ripping off Star Wars, when the Star Trek franchise is actually older by over a decade?  Because J. J. Abrams admitted to never having ever watched a single episode of Star Trek in his life.  Clearly, he saw Star Wars though.

I saw it, I saw it, I saw it!!

Like all girlfriends do. Like they confuse Star Trek with Star Wars :)

I tried several times and failed every time :) Sadly, most of the girls who like one or both are... weird. So I can live with the fact my girlfriend doesn't like it :) But I have to give credits to her: she noticed that commander ryker has a different voice in the movies than in the series (german dub)!
