The HD version will be released on Monday. Until then, camcorder recordings are flooding Youtube. http://youtube.com/watch?v=1-DdPid2bVQ

I have to admit I'm liking what I'm seeing. And I've always loved the Romulans as the bad guys in Trek. This film looks bloodthirsty.

It looks like they're moving away from innuendo and short skirts to something stronger. I'm not sure if that's a good thing, though.*

It was also sending me some Mad Max vibes, which is kind of strange.

*Because it's in the Star Trek universe, and not some B-class sci-fi universe.

Well J.J Abrams is reinventing the Trek universe with this movie, so there are bound to be some whiners. Thing is, it's time to move forward and be a little more realistic about things (like Battlestar Galactica). They had their shot with countless films and series, and seriously suffered toward the end of it. Apparently if this movie does well another two are planned. Trek as we know it, is gone. This is a new kind of Trek, at least that's we are being told.

I don't really know how I feel about this, since that whole over-the-top technobabble bit is a significant part of what endeared me to Trek in the first place. If I wanted BSG-style realism, I'd simply be watching BSG. (Probably should be anyway, but that's another story.) I'm excited to see what he's going to do with the franchise, but at the same time, I don't want to see it cast off completely from its roots.

True, Star Trek is C-class at best.

Hang on, I consider Firefly to be B-class scifi and one of my absolute favourite fictional worlds.
