"STAR TREK" movie comments/reviews (spoilers)

What was the last line Leonard Nimoy says at the end of the movie when he is standing on that balcony? And what did it mean?

I think he said "Thrusters on 'full'.  I interpreted it as a sort of nostalgic 'bon-voyage' to Young Spock & the crew of the Enterprise.

Is that what he said? I don't recall that.

Right after Kirk receives his award and is promoted to captain, the camera pans up to 'old' Spock, who is watching the ceremony from a balcony.  He looks down introspectively, and says quietly, "Thrusters on full".  We are supposed to interpret this moment as a peek at Spock reminiscing on the old times he had as a friend of Kirk and member of the Enterprise. 

This impression is driven home by the immediate cut to the next scene, which shows Sulu at the helm saying "..Thrusters on full; ready for warp, Captain".

Ahhh, that's right, I remember thinking how Spock on the balconey reminded me of the series finale of Enterprise with Ricker and Troi watching that ceremony.  :ohmy

LOL That's an insult to the movie!!!  :D

I thought Enterprise was OK, but I agree; the finale was pretty rushed & lame. In contrast, I liked the moment with Spock on the balcony, and the way it led into the final scene on the bridge.  I thought it was a very effective 'pass the baton' kind of moment.

On another note; I saw some promising news regarding a definitive resolution to the Enterprise size issue (from trekmovie dot com)-

BOOK NEWS - Haynes Enterprise Manual announced
In a bit of a surprising announcement, Simon and Schuster (parent company of Pocket Books) is teaming up with Haynes (yes, the company who makes the automotive manuals) to produce a the "Haynes Enterprise Manual" for the new Enterprise featured in J. J. Abrams' "Star Trek" feature film. According to a press release from CPLG (the rights marketing agency for Star Trek in Europe) the Haynes Guide will be

   "...the ultimate guide to the Enterprise, applying its famous 'step-by-step' approach of stripping the ship down to its essentials and reassembling it with detailed illustrations."

What a strange idea. I'd love to see what they make of it.

I am envisioning the Enterprise up on blocks in some bad neighborhood...;)

Well I saw the movie last week and I must say I am pretty impressed. I simply loved it eventhough I saw it on my computer.

Because of the swine flu, all movie premieres were pushed back and Trek XI will premiere next week.

But for what it's worth I loved it. I still have to see it in all it's glory, but for now, I loved it so very much.

At first I was shocked to see they used Pike instead of Archer or even mention Archer. They didn't.
I wasn't sure why, but then I read somewhere that this Trek film is in another time line or alternate reality.

Not sure if it's a franchise reboot, like the new Bond movies. Do you guys know anything of this?

I was also shocked to see a romance between Uhura and Spock.

Oh and Vulcan is gone now???

Man I need to see it once again.

Anyway, I loved it.

Hola Chief!  Actually, Archer is mentioned in the film.  Scotty explains that the reason he has been exiled on the ice-planet is because of a transporter accident involving Admiral Archer's dog.  ;)

[Feathers]

Given the time difference between Enterprise and TOS I'd have been really surprised if they'd used Archer since he would have been well into his hundreds by then. Pike made a lot more sense to me.

[Doc Ock]

I loved the movie. I thought this gave Trek the fresh air it despretely needed.

[Scott]

I was thinking about the movie today. The blackhole swallows up the Romulan ship and transports them back in time. That is more like the properties of a wormhole. Scientists theorize that wormholes can not only tunnel through space, but time as well. If that is the case, then the supernova energy or radiation is also being sent into the past. Is that what causes the space lightning?

[Scott]

And if that's the case, where are the Romulans being sent next?

[Rico]

Sent next?  Ahh, if you mean at the end they were destroyed.  The Narada is breaking up as it's sucked in.

[Scott]

Yea ok, but the wreckage has to go somewhere. :P

[Rico]

Yea ok, but the wreckage has to go somewhere. :P

Maybe.  Between Spock's ship slamming into it, the Enterprise blasting it and the forces ripping it apart, I don't think there was going to be much left.  Just tiny "little wee bits" - as Scotty would say!

[X]

Yea ok, but the wreckage has to go somewhere. :P

No it doesn't. It gets compressed into the blackhole. Just because the first blackhole shifted them in time doesn't mean the last one would do it as well.
