Star Trek XI - spoilers!

[billybob476]

Yeah happens all the time. It seems to take a lot more for movies to get rated above PG here. I've seen movies rated R in the states as PG or maybe PG-13 here. I think we're a lot looser on ratings based on language and/or sexual content.

Also I think here films are rated by the provinces. Though generally films are rated the same across the country. I think in the US they are rated by a national body.

Gee - and I thought we pushed the violence level these days.  ;)

No it's just crazy liberal anarchy up here. :)

come on, 7pm, 7pm...

we are meeting at Burger King 2 minutes from the Theater.  I have over 20 of us meeting.  Should be funny.

I sure laughed at the "Kingon's" in the Burger King Commercial.   

Anyway, this is going to be a fun evening!

Ratings wise, it's a 12A over here.

I was one of those who raised a Spock-like eyebrow of when I saw the first Star Trek Movie teaser. After seeing the previews (especially, "You will answer me"), I'm really looking forward to attending this evening's 10:25 pm digital screening.

I remember when I was excited to see the first Trek movie. I have even higher hopes for this one.

'Star Trek' nabs $7 million so far
Paramount pic opened at 7 p.m. Thursday
By PAMELA MCCLINTOCK

Paramount's "Star Trek" opened at 7 p.m. Thursday on most of its 3,800 screens, grossing an estimated $7 million as of Friday morning.

J.J. Abrams' reboot of the classic sci-fi franchise currently stands as the best-reviewed movie of the year, earning a 96% ranking on Rotten Tomatoes.

Last weekend, 20th Century Fox's "Wolverine" grossed nearly $5 million in midnight runs, although "Wolverine" didn't start its run until 12:01 a.m. Friday.

As with "Star Trek," Par opened "Iron Man" on a Thursday night in May 2008. "Iron Man" grossed north of $4 million in Thursday evening/midnight runs on its way to grossing $102.1 million for the weekend.

Based on tracking, Par, along with some of its rivals, doesn't expect "Star Trek" to come close to "Iron Man's" opening gross, or even the $85 million earned by "Wolverine" last weekend. Nonetheless, a number of films have overperformed in recent months.

Nice half hour special on the movie and "Star Trek."

Picked up two Star Trek Glasses from Burger King.  Both Kirk and Spock.  Really cool I might add.  Which apparently our BK had all four glasses in pretty good stock.  Hoping I can pick up more later next week. 

Also, the next time anyone says that Taco Time food is expensive needs to go to Burger King.  That stuff killed me how much it was for a SMALL meal.  Our Larges are that expensive and we give them a lot more food.
