The genius thing they did with this reboot was that the initial encounter with the Romulans from the future created this alternate timeline. In doing so, while some things are familiar, they were unmoored from any of the previous storylines.

The moment they were on that drill and Sulu fell off, and Kirk screamed "Sulu!" and then just ran and jumped off the drill with no regard for the warnings or the danger, just that instant response of going to save his friend no matter what - that's when I believed that he was truly James T. Kirk.

[@user-xx6vy9ri8p]

That's not how Kirk acts. He always knows the danger of the situation and consequnces of every action. If he jumps, the fleet loses its captain, most likely forever, and this is not the situation for that. He never loses his head, even when Spock died in Wrath of Khan.

[@Souledex]

​@@happyslapsgiving5421this is old AF but a lot of movies have scenes you could cut or trim bits off of.

[@j0hn00]

​@@allnightercinema it's just wall to wall intense. Every little bit is important to the overall story. Fantastic editing, fantastic cinematography, fantastic score, fantastic script, fantastic cast. This is one of the most underrated "perfect" movies around imo. People who don't know Star Trek mostly skip it because they expect it to be geeky and silly. People who do know Star Trek mostly don't like it because it's thematically a bit different from a lot of the past Star Trek. So people like us kinda end up in this small middle ground group of giving it a chance and seeing how it is legitimately really, really good from start to finish Into Darkness and Beyond, while slightly less airtight in production, are both still seriously underrated. I think Beyond is actually my favorite of the trilogy for the cinematography itself. That one shot of the Enterprise with the warp bubble wrapping around it is burned into my mind as one of the most deliciously visually satisfying shots in all of sci fi

[@procyon6370]

Spock as a child is based on the old animated series episode "Yesteryear", where he travels back in time to his childhood so he doesn't die as a young man. In the original timeline, Christopher Pike was captain of the Enterprise for 15 years from 2250 to 2265. His voyages are shown in the original pilot "The Cage" (2254), the second season of "Discovery" (2258) and the upcoming "Strange New Worlds" series. The test is the Kobayashi Maru test from "The Wrath of Khan"- Kirk cheated on that one as well. When he reveals this to Lt. Saavik, he is eating an apple. Spock is the one to try to save Romulus because he is not only the ambassador to Romulus, but is also the leader of the reunification movement which tries to unite Vulcan and Romulus. Sulu is mentioned as being trained in swordfighting as in the episode "The Naked Time" everyone gets really horny and crazy and he chases people down with a sword. Nero's story was expanded on in the Countdown and Nero comics, however much of the plot of Countdown has been contradicted by the new Picard series. So, uh, Scotty mentions losing Archer's beagle in a transporter accident, but Archer died in 2245... whatever. The planet near Vulcan is called Delta Vega as a reference to the TOS episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before", although that one was at the edge of the galaxy. I'd post more but I have to go for now.

[@LA_HA]

Thank you. I enjoyed reading that

[@procyon6370]

Scotty was displaced into the future by a transporter accident a yeat after Kirk died in the timeline we know. This is probably when he invented that transporter technology. Tune in next time to see what putting those equations in the past can do. The creatures the Romulans are using to interrogate Pike are the mind-control creatures that Khan used to control Chekov and Captain Terell in Star Trek II. In a deleted scene, the Klingons used them on Nero and crew. You know how the Narada emerged near Klingon space... and Uhura listened in on a Klingon transmission about 47 Klingon cruisers getting destroyed? That was the Narada. In the 25 years between the prologue and the rest of the movie, Nero was imprisoned on the freezing Rura Penthe, which is where Kirk and McCoy were sent in "Star Trek VI". Then they broke out. Pike is confined to wheelchair as a reference to his original fate- he was hit with delta rays that severely disabled him. All he could do was respond to yes-or-no questions with pathetic beeps. Real body horror shit right there.

[@Tar-Numendil]

The thing with Archer's beagle always bothered me. It's obviously not Porthos, because that would be crazy. Jonathan Archer died in 2245 at the age of 132. If I remember correctly he lived just long enough to see the launch of Enterprise NCC-1701 in 2245.

[@SSPerfectChaosRCT]

Also, Sarek, Spock's father, said marrying Amanda, Spock's mother, was logical, a line also said by Sarek in the show ("Journey to Babel"?)

[@pduidesign]

I’ve watched Star Trek ever since I was a kid: first the TOS, then Next Generation, etc. I saw all the Star Trek movies when they first came out in movie theaters and I must say that I really liked this one. I liked how they modernized it and got a whole new generation of fans. Even people who never saw Star Trek before and knew nothing about it could watch this film and enjoy. Personally I liked all 3 of the Kelvin timeline movies.

[@lord2.0works]

This movie was great, did an amazing combo of Star Trek with a Star Wars style setting (JJ Abrahms being a huge SW fan might be the reason). The sequels were really meh with questionable plot and character choices, but this stands great on its own

[@RichO1701e]

Same. Loved the classic 90's era Trek, but Star Trek was effectively dead after Nemesis in 2002. Roddenberry had been wanting to do a prequel movie/series with the original characters and how they became a crew but it never happened. ST:2009 is exactly what Trek needed.

Then the last year I went I went to the bathroom only to have someone come up a few urinals over, glanced over and it was DATA! ...

[@michelmorio8026]

Kirk „cheating“ in the test is a callback to „Wrath of Khan“ where I believe it was said Kirk had been the only cadet to ever beat the simulation 😅 And yes, his parents/family weren’t mentioned in the classic movies, but in at least one episode of the original series! Btw, Captain Pike who recruits Kirk in this movie was the Captain of the Enterprise in the series (long lost) Pilot episode 😇 if I remember correctly, only Spock was part of his crew in that episode

[@k1productions87]

Much of the footage from the lost pilot was also used in the 2-part episode "The Menagerie" with a slightly different ending. In that, the ending of "The Cage" is not canon, while the changed ending of "The Menagerie" is, as it was the only one aired on television.

[@LadyGreensleeves33]

Honestly, this is the cleverest way they could have updated the original series. Some franchises frankly abuse time travel as a plot device, but this film made absolutely perfect use of it and made everything fall into place. I know everyone complains about the second one, but I personally love it, so can't wait for you to hopefully check it out.

[@josephtingley654]

This is the type of reboot concept that was perfect to begin with, because it is just getting their origin story arcs to cross each other and see the adventures we may have only heard tidbits about, here and there. In retrospect, looking at this movie and who is also in the next one, and I can't help but make those MCU connect the dots of Avengers acting in other movies before they became Avengers. Lol. I would love to see Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto in the MCU. We have Zoe Saldana, Chris Hemsworth and Karl Urban (also a LOTR alumni) in this movie. Benedict Cumberbatch is in the next one. (Also a LOTR alumni). The actor who played Chekhov died because of a malfunction on his SUV, which rolled back on him and killed him, when he was manually trying to open the gate to his house. R.I.P. to him. Tyler Perry managed to get a role in this movie, which is a big fantasy for a lot of actors that got even the smallest part in one of these movies, as fans, themselves, of this legendary franchise. R.I.P. to Leonard Nimoy, the og Spock, for giving us one last encore before leaving this world. Credit to the talent in this movie and J.J. Abrams that did the franchise proud. Just to see the growth of them before and/or during the rise of their acting status from this movie on...wow. The talent: Saldana as Gamora, Chris as Thor, the guy from Harold and Kumar movies (forgot his name) playing a more serious action movie as Sulu, Zach from playing Sylar from Heroes to Spock, Winona Ryder making a small combat here to end up on Stranger Things later, the very first Captain to die on the opening of the movie played the leader of the 10 rings army in the first Ironman, the actor who plays Scottie from his usual comedy movies like Sean of the Dead and the Mission Impossible franchise...everybody upped their game for this. I was absolutely blown away at how well this movie turned out. Now a days reboots get a heavy eyeroll 🙄 because it's been overkill for too many franchises. But bravo to this one.

[@kennedy6587]

That was Chris Hemsworth, and Jim is short for James lol

[@princessoscar3089]

These movies are actually canonically in an alternate universe! The new ST Discovery show flat out referenced the events of this movie - Nero's ship disappearing through a black hole. :D So yeah, these movies just became actually canon!

[@richardb6260]

Discovery is less Star Trek than this is.

[@travisfoster1071]

Disco trek, Picard, Lower Decks, Prodigy.... it's all non Canon. Just a cash grab.

[@Starsaber222]

@@travisfoster1071 And back in '87, people were saying the same thing about TNG. Star Trek is Star Trek.

[@richardb6260]

@@travisfoster1071 Lower Decks has been surprisingly entertaining. It's stuffed with knowledgeable references to the good Trek series. Plus, it's set right after Nemesis and we get to see Riker as Captain if the USS Titan. The Titan showing up to save the crew from the Pakleds is my favorite Trek moment since the fourth season of Enterprise.

[@CaptainPikeachu]

@@travisfoster1071 It's all canon, it doesn't matter your opinion, facts are facts. Calling them "cash grab" is ridiculous given that same logic can be applied to literally TAS, TNG, DS9, VOY, and ENT, they all exist to make money. Stop getting uppity and haughty about it.

I'm so happy you're watching the JJ Abrams movies! I love them so much!

[@yawdaorb]

I love the new trilogy. Some of the old Star Trek fans tried to nit pick them saying they're too much like Star Wars but they are fun, full of action and great visuals.

[@ste.6026]

I grew up with the original show and this reboot of the original was everything that I could have hoped for and more... I have seen the trilogy several times and they still bring a smile to my face... I must confess that outside TOS, Star Trek Continues and the reboot, I never felt compelled to watch any other Trek incarnations... I still hope for more from Kirk, Spock, Bones & Co, fingers crossed... It would be fun to have you react to TOS sometime...

[@CarlosHuiskens]

Honestly most Star Trek incarnations are enjoyable if you can refrain yourself from being to much of a critic. There's so many Star Trek ''Purist'' out that that cry foul about every Star Trek incarnation besides TOS. Even the movie reboots get shit on. My personally I'm not complaining. I grew up with the TNG era so Picard is my guy and but I've enjoyed pretty much everything beyond that. I'm just glad there are people out there keeping the franchise alive for newer generations to experience.

[@BondFreek]

I grew up on the original series I watched all of Star Trek TNG, deep space mine, Voyager, and Enterprise. Until this movie came out I thought Enterprise was as bad as Star Trek whatever get. Boy was I ever wrong. It's okay that you like. But please don't compare to the classic Star Treks. This movie has a plot a kindergarten could have written, science that a three-year-old would have written and made everyone a cartoon character version of themselves. When I watched it I didn't know if I was watching Star Trek or a Batman starring Adam West. It is so awful. It's not even a good movie let alone a good Star Trek story.

[@BondFreek]

@@CarlosHuiskens I find these incarnations of the characters as enjoyable as any character created by a little tiny two-year-old boy. If you have children you would know what I'm talking about. The only saving grace of these JJ Abrams films is the acting. Somehow they made three-year-old toddler dialogue sound almost intelligible. That shows it's a fantastic acting

[@CarlosHuiskens]

@@BondFreek Star Trek Purist detected! Don't act as if ANY Star Trek content is so amazingly written. Every piece of Star Trek content has it ups and downs. Even TOS can be written by a 3 year old based on the way you look at it. It's OK that you don't like some of it but don't act like you're the leading authority on what is and what isn't good Star Trek content. That's not what a fan does. A true fan can find value in anything and will respect the effort put into creating that content.

[@christopheryochum3602]

Did you remember, in "Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan," how Saavik wanted to know how Kirk defeated the Kobayashi Maru test? Remember? :)

[@frankz5103]

Saw this when the IMAX theater first opened up here in Long Beach….. won a shirt for my trek knowledge too

[@CosmicDreamz139]

People hate on the reboot movies but i like them and specifically this one is the one that got me to watch all of Star Trek franchise. After this one I got to watch the old movies and i liked them also and went on the shows and watched them all.

[@OGxShreddy]

Man I love the heck out of this trilogy. Even as a casual fan of the original series's. Cheers bud

[@ginahouston9352]

as someone who grew up watching reruns of TOS, it warms my heart to hear Primate say, "that's OUR Spock!" 🥰

[@suicunesolsan]

Glad you enjoyed it. It was by JJ Abrams who did the new Star Wars trilogy. As someone who enjoyed TNG, I get where the criticisms of this movie come from. It's a beautiful CGI festival from beginning to end, a tense roller coaster ride that doesn't let you off until the last moment. It's got pretty explosions, sword-wielding Sulu, and space birthing. It's dense, character-focused entertainment. You may love that, but it leaves so many Trek values behind.

[@slaymakerprime]

It's hilarious, when Pike asks Sulu if he left the parking brake on, and Spock points out the inertial dampeners... That's literally the parking brake.

[@Alexanderthegreat159]

You know this Kirk is a badass when he gets made a Captain By Madea. 🤣

[@ryannielson9961]

The man who plays Kirk at the beginning of the film IS Chris Hemsworth.

[@donb5552]

Best part of this movie...Karl Urban. It's like he's channelling the ghost of DeForest Kelley.

[@Elnont]

Karl urban as Bones was the best casting in these films. Everyone else was good, Pine managed to be Shatner enough whilst still not going over the top but Karl Urban literally embodies Deforest Kelley (the original actor) and it’s insane. It’s said Leonard Nimoy was brought to tears on set because it reminded him so much of his friend who had passed.

[@protovision2010]

fantastic movie + reaction! The opening 10 minutes have more emotion and drama than some entire movies :)

[@BoboftheOldeWays]

A good friend of mine was a featured extra on the bridge crew for this movie. So, I have to love it. But as a long-time Trek fan, I can honestly say that I would have loved it anyway. Chris Pine's portrayal is EXACTLY what I always imagined a young Jim Kirk would have been like. The fact they got this part right was enough to sell me on everything else.

[@user-xx6vy9ri8p]

Kirk a Spock used to be smart, disciplined, responsible, mature tacticians. Now they are clumsy, goofy, emotional, hot-headed teenagers. Sign of modern cinema...

When Scotty beams 3 people from 2 ships onto 1 platform, the guy sitting next to him is Chris Doohan, the son of the original Scotty.

What you remember hearing is that this is the Star Trek universe reimagined, not remakes. Some aspects have been changed, alternate reality style.

Your enthusiasm was everything! Love this movie, really enjoyed your reaction.

[@uberjeff7583]

To really appreciate this movie you have to watch the original series to see all the nods to it, the uniforms, the sounds made when switches are thrown, the design of the hand phasers, the navigation dish on enterprise, Sulu with a sword and so so many more Abrams really did Star Trek justice with this.

[@Teletran35]

I love the soundtrack and them playing the original theme at the end

[@awesomedavid2012]

I think this whole series is underrated, especially the third

[@brettg274]

Being only the second actor to don the mantle of Captain James Tiberius Kirk is a very tall order, but I think Chris Pine did an outstanding job, he was well cast.

[@j.jennings1722]

I would love to see you react to a few more episodes from the original series, like the classic episode "City on the Edge of Forever," which was voted by the American Film Institute as one the top 100 episodes of any series in TV history. I think you will love it. The episode also contains the first curse word ever uttered in a scripted series.

[@multimediumsink9426]

I am so glad you did a reaction to this movie. I've been waiting to see what you thought after watching all the originals. Thanks for the great reaction. I agree with everything you said !

[@robbob5302]

I loved in this movie, they gave every cast member at least one scene, to be the hero who saves the day.

[@Iceman-135]

The actor that played Chekov passed away a few years ago. Such a massive shame, I was a big fan of his acting. He was also Kyle Reese in Terminator: Salvation.

Everyone sing along: "Star Trek Babies..." to the tune of 1985's Muppet Babies cartoon.

[@spiderfingers86]

The villain Captain Nero is played by Eric Bana

[@spencergadoury]

Love this trilogy! The second one was always my fav! Excited to see you react to them!

[@williamcurry4868]

Just a fun fact, the guy sitting next to Scotty at 27:15 is Chris Doohan, James Dothan’s son, who also plays Scotty in some Star Trek fan films too.

[@gamester76]

The destruction if Romulus is actually a pretty significant event in the Original Series/TNG timeline; there was a comic prequel to this 2009 movie that followed Spock and the TNG crew teaming up on the Red Matter plan, and the planet’s destruction in the original timeline is a plot point in the series “Picard.”

[@hafeya]

Right around the 16:15 mark when they first warp in, on the view screen, left side, you'll see R2D2 floating by. :) You can't see it in this youtube video, but watch on the actual movie

[@PenikeseKidd]

TNG came out when I was a small kid. Been in love with all trek since. Me and my wife went to watch this in our local theater the first showing. First time I’ve ever been in a movie that ended with a standing ovation. 🖖

Oh my goodness your episode 1 quote just shows the proper appreciation of Star Wars and Star Trek like it should be!!!!

[@FloridaManLex]

This whole trilogy is amazing! I can't wait to see your reactions to the next 2

[@Sapphire_Reacts]

my mom take me to this film because she loves the og star trek series so she was super excited to see this. the end scene when kirk goes space the final frontier, every single adult in that theater was reciting it and i looked at my mom and told her she was not allowed to make fun of me anymore for reciting the lines when watching Harry Potter

[@Wizastudios]

So as a Star Trek fan from the series I have to say this was very well done from my expectations. After First ContactI always felt Star Trek needed something to spice up the franchise. The TNG cast did very well in that movie with the action and villian. The Reboot Star Trek had great execution. To keep the original timeline and opening the "Kelvin Timeline" to ST fans was brilliant to me. We have updated effects and high stakes while keeping the dynamic of the OG characters. It proivded fresh blood that was really needed. I know ItsAPrimte only watched the movies but a part of me wish he'd so the series as well. Maybe in 2-3 episode reactions.

[@MattMajcan]

The score. THE SCORE my lawd the music is just so on point michael giacchino built different

[@SmallvilleFann1983]

Fun but sad fact the actor who played Chekov is Anton Yelchin & he died in 2016 in a car accident! I think his car rolled down his driveway trapping him between the security gate & it squished him! 😞😞

[@kev7161]

Probably my all-time favorite of all Star Treks ever. I love the new actors playing established roles, the special effects, the interactions . . . this is such a great movie!

[@sevenruvalcaba]

JJ Abrams was quoted as saying when he was asked to direct this film, he was a Star Wars fan, and wanted to shoot Star Trek like a Star Wars movie.

[@kalannadae3173]

The blooper reel for this movie is one of my favourites of all time.

[@gerstelb]

The origin of McCoy’s nickname “Bones” was supposed to be from an old term for a doctor: sawbones. But that is rather grim, and also made more sense with DeForest Kelley’s Southern drawl.
