He's no fan of the modern day star trek tv series but there's lots of beans on the old dog yet.
I don't have a url
Have you seen all the previous star trek movies?
Perhaps Mr Sulu, Chekkov or Uhura will make a cameo

I'm afraid I'm like William Shatner, no fan of all the recent movies, TV series and spin-offs. Probably an age related thing but I prefer what I grew up with - the original 1960s TV series with the permanently defective 'Enterprise' and phasers set at shoot-to-kill. Watched in black and white!

I'm kinda torn.

I liked the TV series but the last of the Shatner movies looked very weak storywise and to me looked like flogging a half dead horse.

The new movies started off OK but should have stopped after 2.

I'm going to reserve judgement until I see it

I was a big fan of the original TV series but I haven't watched anything Star Trek since, haven't seen any of the films or TV series.
I just didn't think Scotty could cope on the big screen. The most incompetent Engineering Officer ever, how he got the job on the Enterprise is a mystery , and how Kirk didn't sack him after the first trip an even bigger mystery, I know if I'd had to listen to "I cannae do it Captain" every time there was an oil leak, I'd have left him on the first planet I landed on.

Yup. Should have beamed Scotty somewhere, anywhere with some whiskey. Best when drunk.
