My wife and I (both of us at the begging of 30) where lucky enough to catch a special prescreening on Tuesday and I was not surprised at how much my wife loved it. I kept thinking you don’t have to know anything about Star Trek to enjoy this movie because it’s such a fun ride. My brother and sister in-law saw it Thursday night and also loved the heck out of it. This movie is going to make a load of money.

[...] You want to see the new Star Trek, don’t you? Don’t you?!?! Ok then. Just Google ’star trek showtimes,’ and pick from the lot. In the 25 mile radius of theatres around my house, Star Trek is being shown 89 times tonight between it’s premiere at 7pm and the midnight screenings. Oh look–There’s even a theater playing it every minute! Heck, why not avoid the costumed drunken Klingons and just see it at 3am tomorrow morning on IMAX? And what about you, Enterprise, AL? Or even you, ‘Captain’ Kirkland, WA? Bottom line, it’s playing everywhere, all the the time. And it’s going to kick ass. So get your damn tickets already (they’re going fast). [...]

I’m not sure about what LEGAL ways there are, but they can always watch the bootlegs. Maybe we should write the movie studios and say they should provide free copies to troops overseas along with projectors and screens and whatever they might need… I know people who bring their own projectors when they get shipped, but it should be something provided for everyone to use.

Hey screen rant. If you have any ideas on how we can help Knight and the rest of the troops out let us know.

Knight,if you read this is there any way we can get you and the troops over there some of these new releases coming out? There has to be a way and I know i’m not the only one who believes getting the troops some good entertainment is the least we can do.

All I can say is, DC better move fast and lock down Chris Pine for their Green Lantern Movie based on all the hype from Star Trek….

FYI, I’ve set up a Star Trek discussion post where people can talk about the film and not worry about spoiling it for others who haven’t seen it:

I can’t believe I’m saying this… but, I think Star Trek is THE best reboot EVER!!!! Yup, I said it… I actually like it better than I like Batman Begins. This movie was unbelievable!!! I’m also going to say it’s probably going to turn out to be the best movie of the year!

I noted that inflation-adjusted Star Trek First Contact had an inflation adjusted opening of $49MM and I believe that was the biggest Trek opening box office weekend. In that same post (two months ago) I predicted a $70-80MM opening weekend for the new film.

I think it will do at least that, but we’ll see.

MY GF and I are DEFINTELY going to see this movie this weekend. In IMAX, no less. She’s almost as excited to see this as I am..

John, don’t feel bad. I can’t buy advance tix online either. Grrr…

Can’t get tickets online for the theaters I go to. MAGGOTS!! I’ll have to stop by there today and pick them up for tomorrow (hopefully). I looked into IMAX and the nearest theater is in Columbia, MD; I might try that theater one day, but it will be a weekend as traffic in the DC area is murder.

I’ve got my tickets for IMAX. It’ll be a 90 minute trip into the city, but I figure this is one for the ‘IMAX experience’

Star Trek movies as a place to pick up chicks! Who knew?

$100 million in the first weekend? That would be great and guarantee J.J. and crew would return for more. I don’t see it breaking that record, but I hope it doesn’t do what Watchmen did and drop into the abyss on the second weekend.

Can’t Wait! Can’t Wait! Can’t Wait! CAN’T WAIT! (For tomorrow!)
