I want my mother fucking points!

So, how does the grading system in the US compare to that of Europe again?

Cardboard characters. Shallow. Cheesy. Cheap plot devices.

So they remained faithful to the original after all?

Can we talk about the movie instead of grading again?
PDH!

I thought it was good. The actors are well cast and the characters are accurately portrayed without resorting to copying the acting style of the previous actor. So Kirk is bold and cocky, but not a parody of Shatner.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

While I only watched First Contact a long time ago as a boy, I recall that it was deeper and more intriguing than this "Star Trek". Remember Data and the Borg Queen?

It's better of course.

The issue isn't so much that of the difference between the US and Europe as within the US and Europe.

I meant the original series. Or, as some call it: ST:TOS.

There's tons of references to the original series that are enjoyable in their own right.

The timeline changes were stunning; the genocide in particular.

It would have been more interesting if they blew up Earth instead of Vulcan.
