When you're in uncomfortable position and have got no money to go out from that, you would require to take the business loans. Because that will help you unquestionably. I get term loan every time I need and feel myself OK because of that.

Hey Steve, great review. Just want to highlight a few things real quick:

- Karl Urban as McCoy was probably my favorite character in the film. I think his performance had a very nice balance of “homage to DeForrest Kelly” and “try a new spin on the character.”

- I agree that a chunk of the Ice Planet was unnessisary. Don’t know if you caught it, but if you take the head from the first monster, put it on the second monster’s body, it’s the big bad monster from Cloverfield.

- Nero’s emotional sturggled is covered a ton in the “prequal” graphic novel, Star Trek Countdown (I think that’s what it’s called).

- OK, I’m not trying to outright defend this film, and I respect your opinion about this film and Star Wars, but honestly, in my opinion, comparing Trek and Wars is like comparing cowboys and knights. Yeah, they’re set in space, but really, with few exceptions, the similarities end there. And- I think I’m really gonna get boo- ed for this- I liked this flick a little more that “The Prequals.” A little bit.

Wow, I feel like I should try to get back on your good side after this message! I love the podcast and the site, I really do! Keep up the great work!!

Your last line said it all. As hard as you tried to not compare it to Star Wars, in the end, you just couldn’t help yourself. I absolutely LOVED this movie. It’s exactly what Star Trek needed to revive itself. I love both ST and SW, but for much different reasons. I don’t think it’s fair to compare the two. I agree with with ScarlettLynn. It was a great movie going experience. I am glad you saw fit anyway, to give it 4 out of 5 “Stars” (yuk yuk yuk…). At least you enjoyed it somewhat. I’m psyched about a sequel.

P.S. – I can’t believe you’re a youth director. Let us know if you’re ever in the Atlanta area. I’d like to meet you….

I got to see it yesterday. It was better than Dark Knight, way better.

I absolutely loved it. It was easily a 5 out of 5 for me. The characterizations were all perfect, the action and effects were great, the music was great. I thought the story was a great balance of respecting the old and completely embracing the new.

The sad parts made me sad. The funny parts made me laugh. The romantic parts made me “squeee”. The friendships we saw developing made me completely nostalgic because they were right out of Classic Trek. And the action had me totally amped up.

I couldn’t ask for more from a good movie-going experience.
