That's a fair point. I feel better now.

I haven't actually been so eager to see a Trek movie since TMP. Everything just feels right about this effort. The cast & crew, the pics that have leaked out, the plot details. I'm feeling quite optimistic that I'll be enjoying myself for two hours when this is released.

Umm, maybe because noone has actually seen the movie yet? Wrapping filming doesn't complete the film guys..

You mean everyone involved with the picture is praising it and saying how great it is going to be? Is that a bad thing? Would you rather have the actors bitch and moan, and be uninterested alltogether?

I think there is absolutely no way to make anyone happy on here, hehe.. insanity :)

Cloverfield was not a bad movie but was not great either. Perhaps it might be better from the perspective of my living room sofa? I guess I'll find out when I rent the movie, not buy yet.

I have the feeling now that the Star Trek movie is getting a bit over inflated. I'm just worried our, or my, expectations are going to be so high that the best movie will not live up to them. Is it just me or are others bracing for some sort of a letdown as well? Ok, it's probably just me.

"In the counsels of Government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the Military Industrial Complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together." --Dright D. Eisenhower Farewell Address, 1961



"Frank O'Connor, the Irish writer, tells in one of his books how, as a boy, he and his friends would make their way across the countryside, and when they came to an orchard wall that seemed too high and too doubtful to try and too difficult to permit their voyage to continue, they took off their hats and tossed them over the wall--and then they had no choice but to follow them. This Nation has tossed its cap over the wall of space, and we have no choice but to follow it. Whatever the difficulties, they will be overcome. Whatever the hazards, they must be guarded against...."

" -- John F. Kennedy 21 November, 1963

I keep hearing everyone associated with the movie say it's "huge", it's "fun", it's "not your father's Star Trek", etc. But why aren't they saying it's a great movie? Pretty much everyone said it was a "terrific script". So why aren't they saying it's a terrific movie?

I'm just being nervous out loud. We've got a year to fret. Will it ever be able to live up to the build up? Sigh.
