Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion anyone saw the new Star Trek Movie

I asked DH not to take the kids. I saw it with him, and liked it a lot, but things are constantly blowing up, like the entire planet of Vulcan. There is a really intense visual of Captain Pike strapped down and about to be tortured by a Romulan, stuff like that.

I took a 5, 6 and 7 year old to see it. They where fine with it, but maybe its not for all. It earns it PG13 rating and has some scary spots. I was concerned about my 6 year old, but he was fine. Although it is agreat movie. parts are intense.

I'm finally reading this thread as we saw the movie yesterday. I loved Star Trek as a kid, I have to have seen every episode several times. I never really got into the movies or later shows, I think it was a time in my life when I didn't watch t.v. very much.

I loved, the movie, Grinity's Onion spoof was hilarious! I really appreciated the creativity of it's premise of baby Spock, Kirk, Uhuru, Bones, etc.

I definitely got a warm fuzzy watching it, brought back a lot of good childhood memories. I noticed that some of the sound effects were the same from the old show at particular points, thought that was a nice touch.

We did bring DD9 and DD6, but it was way too intense for DD6. DH had to take her out of the theatre several times.

Interestingly, she IS a roller coaster fanatic. Rode her first coaster at five, EXACTLY, tall enough and rode every single coaster in the place.
