As someone who has been a Trekkie for over 50 years, welcome to the world of Star Trek. You watch the movies in whatever order you wish, the only downside is you are unfamiliar with the history of the characters. The newest 3 movies are a soft reboot of the series, meaning that they are an alternate timeline to the original. Which is why we have 2 Spocks in this movie. The older Spock is played by Leonard Nimoy, who was the original series Spock. The original Star Trek was actually cancelled twice, after the 2nd season, but was renewed for a 3rd after a massive fan letter writing campaign, but was finally cancelled for good after the 3rd season. It was the unprecedented popularity of the original series in syndication that led to Star Wars being made and it was the unprecedented popularity of Star Wars that led to the original Star Trek movies gettting made. It was once said that Star Trek is science fiction and Star Wars is space opera.
Im still sad that discovery set the low point of the franchise. But i like some of it, like the spore drive, the XXXII century, and even the new aesthetics
@@sanhcman666 Have you checked out ST New Worlds? It's in the discovery universe following the story of Captain Pike on the Enterprise. I really enjoyed it
@@MadCatt3r420 i do. In fact i think its a crime 2x03 didnt earn the series a nomination for emmys, golden globe, or similar awards Man, temporal wars are utter soulbreaking.
2:23 "Captain, we have visual." That's a cameo by Dr Randall Pausch, a scientist, who was suffering pancreatic cancer when he wrote "The Last Lecture", and expressed his childhood wish to play Captain Kirk. Director J. J. Abrams contacted him and said, I can't give you Kirk, but I can put you in the movie. Dr Pausch died not long after appearing in the film.
The only thing that may not be clear to a new watcher that starts with this movie is that Old Spock is not just some older actor - that is the original Spock. Everything you are watching is in an alternate timeline (the Kelvin timeline) based on the fact that in the “real” Star Trek timeline, Old Spock disappears through the wormhole.
Funny thing about Olson, the skydiver who opens his parachute too late: Star Trek has spawned the term "red shirt" as a term for a character who is written to just get a name and a brief introduction whose sole purpose is to die early in the story to show the audience that the situation is dangerous. The name comes from the red uniform shirts Star Fleet subordinates usually have. When Olson dives, he is wearing a red outfit, and he only has a few minutes of screentime before he dies
What's funny about that, though is that of the 10 gold shirts who beamed down in TOS, 5 died -- 50% mortality. Of the 13 blue shirts, 5 died, which is 38% mortality, and of the 65 red shirts who beamed down, 15 died -- 23%. Red is actually the safest color on a percentage basis, though not on an absolute basis ;-)
@@DaveTingwaldd Almost all field, sweet corn is more like Michigan. Minor detail though. The town of Riverside is real and they have a a big gathering every year with a parade which I've been in once. The weird part is Riverside is rolling hills, but 20 miles south of there where he's driving the stolen Corvette is flat as a pancake just like the movie.
Chris Hemsworth as Kirk's father was great. And William Shatner (who played the original Captain Kirk from the 60s into the 90s and has just celebrated his 93rd birthday) now calls him "Dad".
I see a lot of Star Wars fans arguing online about the movies, the shows, the cartoons and the books, both canon and fan-fiction junk. There's just too many things and too much of it doesn't line up to make sense any more.
The "Kobayashi Maru" test - a no-win scenario - was designed to have cadets experience the horror of certain death. With no solution, no way to save themselves, the only thing to do was to die. The test was a test of character: As a Starfleet officer, how will you react to certain death? Of course, the test itself is a cheat. It was done in a simulation room, where there is no real threat of death. What the cadets experience in that simulation is NOT true fear. They know that it's just a test.
Vulcans and Romulans are/were essentially the same species. They are physically much stronger than Humans, and they have strong mental powers such as mind-melding. Long ago, Vulcans were very emotional and violent, but they adopted the philosophy of logic and shunning of emotions in order to save themselves from self-extinction. Romulans are the Vulcans who rejected Logic and kept their passions. They left the planet to form their own culture on Romulus. The Romulan Empire is rather cruel and territorial.
i didnt know this. hmm.. i think i would most def be romulan the i were born into the verse. pretty cool way f putting it. now to me the vulkans sem ike the A holes for some reason haahahahaha
Leonard Nimoy (the original Spock from the CBS TV series in the 1960's) is one of the most beloved characters from any TV show EVER. When he showed up on screen in this movie, people cheered. LOUDLY. And, when the kid climbed out of the canyon and faced the RoboCop and said "My name is James Tiberius Kirk", people cheered then too. Lots of cheering going on in this movie, but that was what it was for.
@@robertcartier5088 I was using Wikipedia to check whether you were right (which you were), and discovered a fun fact: TOS actually premiered on the Canadian network CTV on Sept. 6, 1966, 2 days before it aired on NBC. As a Canadian Trekkie, I was pleasantly surprised!
The original TV-series shows the true brilliance of Star Trek. The Tv-series shows its true essence of an intellectual exploration of the wonders of the universe and the beings within. The stories are inspired, I'd even call many of the episodes genius. The sometimes clumsy sets and effects simply don't matter or just make it even more endearing.
@@taz2491 Or as Neytiri from Avatar where she was blue. She was the first actor to star in two movies that grossed over a billion dollars at the box office, Avatar and Infinity War.
You have jumped into the deep end of the pool here. Star Trek is the one storyline that has become a planetary phenomenon and apparently it's not going to die. This 2009 movie puts all that has gone on before into a new universe. There are a lot of tribute to past episodes. There is a lot of knowledge viewers are expected to have from the Original series and following. I enjoy your videos I hope you enjoy Star Trek, all of it.
So these films are actually set in their own timeline dubbed The Kelvin Timeline. An a alternate universe created when the Romulan Nero travelled to 2233 and destroyed the Federation starship U.S.S. Kelvin giving birth to a whole new timeline of events that branched off from the Prime Timeline, where everything pre Star Trek (2009) was set such as the Original Series and its films along with shows like Next Generation, Deep Space Nine etc. The Original Star Trek series acts as inspiration for these films with Kirk, Spock, Scotty, McCoy, Uhura, Sulu, Pike, and Chekov all being characters from this show we're just seeing a whole new reimagine of this characters. The older Spock we see is played by Leonard Nimoy the actor who played Spock in the original series and it's films. This older Spock is from the Prime Timeline this being the only connection to anything past Star Trek so it's very much a reboot that in universe is exampled by being an alternate universe.
This was so much fun watching you watch this. I am both Star Wars and Star Trek Fan. I love them both the same. And I love anyone who loves what I love. ❤
Hanger One (where they all left to space from) is a real place, the real one is in Moffett Field in Mountain View CA which is in the south of San Fran bay, start fleet is at the north of the bay, so it makes sense they would leave from there. I was stationed there back in early 90s.
This movie was the beginning of the split between prime/kelvin timelines. Prime being the original timeline that contains all ST created to this point. Kelvin- with romulans invading - adjusting timeline, destroying planet Vulcan and the whole dynamic of ST.
You didn't notice that Spock's mom (Winona Ryder) is the mom on Stranger Things. I think you recognized Simon Pegg but you didn't mention that he's Hughie's dad on The Boys. That's two actors from The Boys on the Star Trek crew. BTW, the original Captain Kirk (William Shatner) just turned 93.
That is indeed Chris Hemsworth as Kirk's father in the beginning. It was actually his first role in an American movie; before this, he had only done TV in his native Australia, including a long-running role on a soap and a season of the Australian Dancing with the Stars. The role was originally offered to Matt Damon, but Hemsworth got it when he turned it down. It was lucky he got to shine so much in such a short time
Knowing that Kirk and Spock are best friends in the original series and seeing them like this is hilarious. And what’s funny for me is that my dad is the Star Trek fan in my family. After he and mom saw this in the theaters, he told me about it, so it intrigued me. When it came out in stores, I rented it from Blockbuster and watched it with Dad. In the end, I loved it and I got interested in the original series. So I found them on RUclips and now I’m a Trekkie too. But just for the original series, the movies, and these versions.
You did great, Biss! I'm a long-time Trek fan, having grown up in the 70s watching the original series in early re-runs and ALL of the movies in the theaters. I have also watched all of the newer shows. I know the opinions of the JJ Abrams remakes (a.k.a. the Kelvin timeline) vary, leaning towards critical. But in my opinion, I feel these films did justice to the original characters, especially in the casting. My favorite casting was Karl Urban as Doctor Leonard "Bones" McCoy. I thought he really did justice to the character. Great reaction!! 🖖 Live long and prosper.
Welcome to the universe of Star Trek, Bisscute! There are so many enjoyable and rewarding stories in store for you. I'll urge you to watch the original series for background on these characters. I've been a fan since watching a few of the original series episodes when they first aired in the late '60s.
Welcome Aboard Biss: you have just become a trekkie, and you did great with your first venture into the Star Trek series. As usual, you were very humorous and entertaining.
The man who acted in this movie as "Old Spock" is actually the original actor that played Spock in "The Original Series," which was a beautiful tribute, especially since he passed not too many years afterwards. ❤️🩹
I'm a Trekkie - I don't have the dedication to be a Trekker (superfan/"loremaster"), but I say, I love your reactions and do not care what order you watch the movies. I would encourage watching at least some of the original series for some real, campy 1970s history of the franchise though.
Don't concern yourself with purists of anything, they only try to tell you how they believe things ought to be experienced and enjoyed. They forget that perspective is a result of experience or, worse yet, they know that and attempt to create Your perspective through curating your experience for you. Enjoy these series in a way that makes sense to you, for your own enjoyment. Great reaction, I'll catchya on the next one. Enjoy the day.
Great Reaction! Love the Star Trek universe. Hope you continue to watch them alllllllll… and there is so much content and story to keep you busy. Don’t listen to the haters, whether they’re Star Wars Fans or any other! Be you and watch whatever order you want! Personally, I would always do it in release date, so as to have the same experience as the original audiences… however… One thing you’ll learn if you go on a Star Trek journey is the concept of IDIC. Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations.
I've probably seen every episode of the original series, the next generation, deep space nine, voyager, and definitely most of the movies if not all....and I want to get into some of the newer series'. As a Star Trek fan since I was a kid I loved your reaction. Welcome aboard!
For someone who’s not into science fiction, you really did very well. You understood the story and followed along, making astute observations along the way.
I had to subscribe to your channel. The most entertaining reaction channel I've seen in a long time. This Star Trek movie does a great job and the second movie (Star Trek Into Darkness), is based on the most famous old Star Trek movie (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) from 1982. Once you watch the new ones, you will want to watch all the old ones as well because the characters will seem like your long lost friends. Thanks again for such a good reaction to the movie.
The older Star Trek is fine. The shows, for the most part, are better than most of the older movies imo. I recommend the original Star Trek show and The Next Generation. But I dont expect you to spend the rest of your life watching Star Trek, lol😂
Thanks for the content. I really enjoy the poster and movie info at the start. Cool little addition. I'm not a huge trekkie, but I think as a franchise across all the tv shows and movies, Star Trek to me is the most reliable and consistently pretty good.
27:59 "Okay. That- That was something I didn't... foresee." Yeah. That caught a _lot_ of people off guard. The young lady is Nyota Uhura. She and Spock are _both_ long-standing fixtures in the canon, but this is the first effort to connect the two, romantically.
A magnificent reaction 🎉 Since you are starting the Trek adventure from this collection of movies. I would suggest watching each and then maybe the old TV shows or early Trek movies. I hope that you enjoy it and ... live long and prosper 🖖
You are correct. It's probably best to start with this just to test it out for the very reasons that you mentioned however Star Trek should really be watched in release order except for the cage being the first one that you should watch. Just stick with it no matter what and you will have the best svi-fi experience that there is.
I'd love to see you watch the original Star Trek movies :) They're all great, but in different ways. The originals obviously don't look at good, but they're great fun :) Really enjoying your reactions. Live long and prosper!
Biss, you have just entered the strange world of Star Trek and its obsessive fan base. 😆 I wish you great strength in dealing with their constant demands and bickering over what films and TV shows you should watch. Please forgive their strange, alien behavior. 😆
Greetings Miss Biss! Welcome to one of the longest standing Sci-Fi Franchises to date... with over 50 Years of History and ardent fans! This is the first film of the J.J. Abrams Reboot series, and your reactions were precious as always! I look forward to you both continuing this series of films, and also hopefully going back to where it all started with Kirk Spock, Bones "McCoy", Uhura, Sulu, Chekov, & Scotty with the original series (which ran for 3 Seasons in the late 1960s, with an animated series considered as the 4th Season until 1975, followed by 6 modern Movies with the original cast in the late 1980s to mid 1990s)! The original series was followed by The Next Generation, Deep Space 9, Voyager, Enterprise, Discovery, Strange New Worlds, Picard, and the animated series Lower Decks (which is both hilarious and cannon) & finally Prodigy... You have just dipped your toe into a very vast, deep, and rich lake of wondrous lore and fascinating premises! Welcome milady... hope you enjoy swimming with the many varied (and hopefully) welcoming fishes! Now you know what this old EMOJI means... Live Long and Prosper!🖖😎
As a lifelong fan who grew up with the original series, I have no problem with you starting with the modern retelling of the story. Sure, you will miss some context and fan service here and there, but I think the new stories hold up pretty well on their own.
Biss, there are a few MCU actors in this movie: Chris Hemsworth (George Kirk/Thor), Karl Urban (Leonard McCoy/Skurge), and Zoe Saldana (Nyota Uhura/Gamora). You might want to watch the original Star Trek series (1966-1969). There are many reasons it retained and expanded its following over the last 50 years. Spawning multiple television series, two series of movies, and this reboot/alternative timeline. And why it remains embedded in pop culture. The Vulcan salute and "Live long and prosper" are known to many who are not Star Trek fans.
31:52 - 32:26 Full explaination! Spock Prime (the name us fans gave him) shows James the future of his timeline. The timeline they're both in is called the Kelvin Timeline, named from the attack on the USS Kelvin in the beginning of the movie. In Spock Prime's timeline, James's father, George, lived. This timeline was, like I said, started when both Spock Prime and Nero were pulled into the black hole. Nero came out first, in turn starting the alternate timeline. Spock Prime went through last, years for Nero only seconds for Spock Prime. The supernova destroyed the Romulan homeworld, Romulus. All because his homeworld died, Nero made it his life's purpose to make a Romulus free of the Federation AKA mass genoside. 36:46 is my third favorite scene in the whole movie because Saturn is shown, while the viewers know this universe's Earth is in danger of being swallowed by a black hole LOL 20:52 The sound here. I can't get enough of it with the debris floating around. I had to put this here! Sorry!
Just being honest. I subscribed at first cuz your beauty drew me in, but I returned cuz I enjoy your movie reactions and appreciate the intelligence and heart you incorporate into your observations.
Great reaction, I've been a fan of Trek since i was a kid and prefer old Trek but the new films are fun, I think you did the best thing by watching the new Trek first as its a good introduction to the characters and the Universe for new fans! Don't worry the majority of fans are welcoming

What was so great about this movie, they gave every major character their moment to shine. Everyone had their “15 minutes.”

Red is actually the safest color on a percentage basis, though not on an absolute basis ;-)
When I first saw this, I knew he was going to die the second I saw the red jumpsuit!

Welcome to the Star Trek family. This franchise is awesome. Can’t wait to see you do the sequel!
The man who acted in this movie as "Old Spock" is actually the original actor that played Spock in "The Original Series," which was a beautiful tribute, especially since he passed not too many years afterwards. ❤️🩹
🤣🤣🤣 Love ya Biss! Great video. You had me cracking up. Thanks for all your work.
Looking forward to this one Biss, may the force be with you! ❤😂
Was that a bill burr joke?
You did well! Your reaction is as good as the show.
These three new series movies are quite good on their own. Kelvin? timeline?
Yeah I’m loving them, thanks for watching
I very much enjoy your reactions Biss! 👏🏻👏🏻
I enjoyed your reaction. Thanks for uploading!
"BIG CHUNKY BOY!" - Quote of the day 😆
Great reaction! You make me laugh a lot!
Big welcome to you to the Star Trek community1
I went to college in Iowa. Iowa has corn, and pig farms. (at least there were pig farms next to the corn fields 44 years ago when I saw one.)
I'm a Trekkie - I don't have the dedication to be a Trekker (superfan/"loremaster"), but I say, I love your reactions and do not care what order you watch the movies.
I would encourage watching at least some of the original series for some real, campy 1970s history of the franchise though.
Great reaction!!! can't wait for the next Star Trek!!!
Don't concern yourself with purists of anything, they only try to tell you how they believe things ought to be experienced and enjoyed. They forget that perspective is a result of experience or, worse yet, they know that and attempt to create Your perspective through curating your experience for you. Enjoy these series in a way that makes sense to you, for your own enjoyment. Great reaction, I'll catchya on the next one. Enjoy the day.
Lol I used to watch Voyager and DS9. This movie blew my mind!!!
Purist or not, you should still be able to recognise good writing. This is not that.
@@MichaelJohnsonAzgardit’s still subjective
You do great reactions, don't worry. I look forward to more of these.
Great Reaction! Love the Star Trek universe. Hope you continue to watch them alllllllll… and there is so much content and story to keep you busy.
Don’t listen to the haters, whether they’re Star Wars Fans or any other! Be you and watch whatever order you want! Personally, I would always do it in release date, so as to have the same experience as the original audiences… however… One thing you’ll learn if you go on a Star Trek journey is the concept of IDIC. Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations.
“Your mathematics were not mathematting enough!” Where else can you hear that line?
I've probably seen every episode of the original series, the next generation, deep space nine, voyager, and definitely most of the movies if not all....and I want to get into some of the newer series'. As a Star Trek fan since I was a kid I loved your reaction. Welcome aboard!
For someone who’s not into science fiction, you really did very well. You understood the story and followed along, making astute observations along the way.
Thank you, thanks for watching
I had to subscribe to your channel. The most entertaining reaction channel I've seen in a long time. This Star Trek movie does a great job and the second movie (Star Trek Into Darkness), is based on the most famous old Star Trek movie (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) from 1982. Once you watch the new ones, you will want to watch all the old ones as well because the characters will seem like your long lost friends. Thanks again for such a good reaction to the movie.
Trekkies aren't nearly as toxic as Star Wars fans. We're just happy you're enjoying it. 😁
Star Wars fans: "You're a bunch of geeks."
Star Trek fans: "No, you're all loonies!"
Star Wars fans: "No, YOU'RE the loonies!"
😆😆😆
I love that you're getting into trek! I could listen to you talk all day😍
Thank you, thanks for watching
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.
The older Star Trek is fine. The shows, for the most part, are better than most of the older movies imo. I recommend the original Star Trek show and The Next Generation. But I dont expect you to spend the rest of your life watching Star Trek, lol😂
great reaction Miss Biss!
Thanks for the content. I really enjoy the poster and movie info at the start. Cool little addition. I'm not a huge trekkie, but I think as a franchise across all the tv shows and movies, Star Trek to me is the most reliable and consistently pretty good.
The Vulcan "reading of minds", the Mind-Meld, is actually a Blending of minds. The person being "read" also shares the memories of the reader.
That was hilarious! Actually, good job Biss. ❤🎉 Looking forward to the next one. 🤓
27:59 "Okay. That- That was something I didn't... foresee."
Yeah. That caught a _lot_ of people off guard. The young lady is Nyota Uhura. She and Spock are _both_ long-standing fixtures in the canon, but this is the first effort to connect the two, romantically.
You are doing a great job. And your voice and vibe are so pleasant
A magnificent reaction 🎉
Since you are starting the Trek adventure from this collection of movies. I would suggest watching each and then maybe the old TV shows or early Trek movies.
I hope that you enjoy it and ...
live long and prosper 🖖
Great reaction! I'm looking forward to more Star Trek reactions on BissFlix, in any timeline. Also, I fully agree with you about Star Trek attire.
I think you'll enjoy the reboots!
Jim Kirk is played by Chris Pine
You are correct. It's probably best to start with this just to test it out for the very reasons that you mentioned however Star Trek should really be watched in release order except for the cage being the first one that you should watch. Just stick with it no matter what and you will have the best svi-fi experience that there is.
When Madalina swears, she becomes the female version of triumph the insult comic dog.
I really liked how into this film you got!! 🎉
I do get invested in movies, thanks for watching
The topic of the destruction of Romulus was detailed alittle more in Star Trek Picard a follow up series to Star Trek the Next Generation
I'd love to see you watch the original Star Trek movies :) They're all great, but in different ways. The originals obviously don't look at good, but they're great fun :) Really enjoying your reactions. Live long and prosper!
Biss, you have just entered the strange world of Star Trek and its obsessive fan base. 😆
I wish you great strength in dealing with their constant demands and bickering over what films and TV shows you should watch.
Please forgive their strange, alien behavior. 😆
They’re here fast too😂
A strange New world you might say😊
0:38 "And I know that these are the 'new' ones."
It's true, this is a reboot. There are a couple of those, though.
Greetings Miss Biss! Welcome to one of the longest standing Sci-Fi Franchises to date... with over 50 Years of History and ardent fans! This is the first film of the J.J. Abrams Reboot series, and your reactions were precious as always! I look forward to you both continuing this series of films, and also hopefully going back to where it all started with Kirk Spock, Bones "McCoy", Uhura, Sulu, Chekov, & Scotty with the original series (which ran for 3 Seasons in the late 1960s, with an animated series considered as the 4th Season until 1975, followed by 6 modern Movies with the original cast in the late 1980s to mid 1990s)! The original series was followed by The Next Generation, Deep Space 9, Voyager, Enterprise, Discovery, Strange New Worlds, Picard, and the animated series Lower Decks (which is both hilarious and cannon) & finally Prodigy...
You have just dipped your toe into a very vast, deep, and rich lake of wondrous lore and fascinating premises! Welcome milady... hope you enjoy swimming with the many varied (and hopefully) welcoming fishes! Now you know what this old EMOJI means... Live Long and Prosper!🖖😎
You should also watch the older movies too! 1 through 5 they are excellent. You will really like them too
As a lifelong fan who grew up with the original series, I have no problem with you starting with the modern retelling of the story. Sure, you will miss some context and fan service here and there, but I think the new stories hold up pretty well on their own.
Biss, there are a few MCU actors in this movie: Chris Hemsworth (George Kirk/Thor), Karl Urban (Leonard McCoy/Skurge), and Zoe Saldana (Nyota Uhura/Gamora).
You might want to watch the original Star Trek series (1966-1969). There are many reasons it retained and expanded its following over the last 50 years. Spawning multiple television series, two series of movies, and this reboot/alternative timeline. And why it remains embedded in pop culture. The Vulcan salute and "Live long and prosper" are known to many who are not Star Trek fans.
the actor who plays Nero played Hector in Troy and was the first Hulk
31:52 - 32:26 Full explaination! Spock Prime (the name us fans gave him) shows James the future of his timeline. The timeline they're both in is called the Kelvin Timeline, named from the attack on the USS Kelvin in the beginning of the movie. In Spock Prime's timeline, James's father, George, lived. This timeline was, like I said, started when both Spock Prime and Nero were pulled into the black hole. Nero came out first, in turn starting the alternate timeline. Spock Prime went through last, years for Nero only seconds for Spock Prime. The supernova destroyed the Romulan homeworld, Romulus. All because his homeworld died, Nero made it his life's purpose to make a Romulus free of the Federation AKA mass genoside.
36:46 is my third favorite scene in the whole movie because Saturn is shown, while the viewers know this universe's Earth is in danger of being swallowed by a black hole LOL
20:52 The sound here. I can't get enough of it with the debris floating around.
I had to put this here! Sorry!
Just being honest. I subscribed at first cuz your beauty drew me in, but I returned cuz I enjoy your movie reactions and appreciate the intelligence and heart you incorporate into your observations.
"Rule number one, you don't make you presence known in something that looks like a horror corridor" LOL 😂
Just enjoy yourself and ignore the gatekeepers.
I'm sure the uhura dress is pretty easily acquirable if so desired.
Great reaction, I've been a fan of Trek since i was a kid and prefer old Trek but the new films are fun, I think you did the best thing by watching the new Trek first as its a good introduction to the characters and the Universe for new fans! Don't worry the majority of fans are welcoming
