The new Star Trek movie is...

[Merlin's Shadow]

In fact, as of right now, I'm thinking it's the best of the Star Trek films, period.

Better than The Wrath of Khan? I'm skeptical.

He obviously meant every other Star Trek movie except Wrath of Khan

Hey, quick question, Mallus...

Star Trek is "Rated PG-13 for sci-fi action and violence, and brief sexual content."

I've got a 9-year-old and a 10-year-old who would both like to go see the movie. PG-13 "sci-fi action and violence" isn't a real problem, but "brief sexual content" could be. Could you give a quick run down of what that sexual content involves?

It's nothing, really. You see a bit of it in the trailer, Kirk and a what turns out to be an Orion cadet in bed. They're interrupted, the lights come on to reveal both are dressed in their underwear, and the scene turns comedic after that...

Should be fine for children.

No, I meant it was the best Star Trek film, better than Khan. Then again, I say that now, who knows if the new film will stand the test of time.

The Wrath of Khan, for all it's strengths, was a relatively small film made on the cheap. The new film is the opposite of that.

Cool. Thanks.

Not a huge trek fan but these comments make me want to consider the movie.

How much "shaky" cam, you lucky bastard?

Hey Mark... sorry I missed this.

I don't recall a lot of shaky cam, it's not Cloverfield in space. There is a lot of really interesting, fluid camerawork, plus some well-designed effects shots that go a long way toward changing the visual "vocabulary" of Trek: the ships designs are familiar, the way their used/framed in the shots are not.

The wife isn't gonna like that. So I ain't gonna tell her.

Thanks. That's all I needed to hear. I have a feeling I'm going to like this film a great deal.
