This is one I'd like to take my teenage siblings to see, is there very much content I should be worried about?

Some of the 3D scenes made my wife a bit nauseous.
The lens flaring does bother some people. But I like it.

It is "Into Darkness" and it is a dark movie. So be aware of that. If they saw they last one, I wouldn't worry about that too much. I think they'd be fine with it personally.

Just saw it with my family. Seriously awesome movie.

Only content you should worry about is you see a woman standing in her underwear for about a minute. Other than that, the content is clean.

I'm waiting for the crowds to die down so I can go when there's a less crowded matinee opportunity. I don't like to watch a great movie in a sardine can environment.
Love the Star Trek franchise.
The theater was packed, but my favorite seat top row center was there waiting for me!

As an original Trekkie I have to say I an disapointed.

The 3D just is not worth it to me- not enough scenes to warrant it plus the rim of the cheap glasses keep bringing me back into the theater.

I do not want some rehashing of old stories but background and complimentary info to fill in gaps. This director was not a trekkie/ trekker of his own and it shows that he only watched past series. Some how he missed the story of Pike. :(

Do not get me wrong--as a die hard trekkie ( even met "Scottie") I recommend the movie as it is a great distraction. I just do not like wondering why they did not fix things by the end of the movie ( other than the lead-ins for the next).

Would like more tech stuff put in too (such as background etc on it too.)

GO!

You're a little late, bro, I went to see it two weeks ago.

I agree with you it really is something. I thought the graphics were incredible.

I was late with my first viewing, but I did see it twice!

I'm an old skool Trekkie too and I have my signed pic of Scottie. You have to keep in mind this is a complete reboot and has nothing to do with the previous shows. Once I got that thru my head after seeing the previous one, I was much happier. It's loosely based on the original.

Just see it as a great Trek-based action thrill ride with an amazing cast and you'll enjoy it much more. I sure do now.
:)

I really enjoyed it as well. I've seen it twice already.
Me too!
:thumbsup:

I reserve second viewings for the really great ones. This one sure qualified.
