Star Trek (the original series) was originally aired from 1966-1969, but then went into syndication and was a re-run staple throughout the '70s and until the Star Trek movies began. In the late '80s Star Trek: The Next Generation began. Other series include Deep Space 9, Voyager, Enterprise, and more recently Discovery and Strange New Worlds.
@@3DJapan Nah, because this movie takes place in its respective universe at the same time of season 2 of Strange New Worlds, which is a prequel to TOS and the TOS movies and the planet Vulcan is in all of them. lol
@@ChrissonatorOFL ...and a number of later series like TNG and Lower Decks that take place in the original timeline as well. I mean, they specifically state in this film that Nero's ship appearing in the past has created an alternate timeline.
This is the 11th _Star Trek_ film, and was also preceded by 6 TV series at that point. _Star Wars_ (1977) would have never existed if _Star Trek_ hadn't been there first (1966).
This was the last movie I saw with my mother before she passed away. The fanciest theater I could afford. We were both "nerdy" types, and she had failing mental health. In her childhood girls didn't have such interest in science fiction openly, so she was teased often. To see the reboot of the series brought such joy to her. She may RIP.
I am certain the experience was a blessing to you and her both. I had a similar experience with my mother, and she passed within the last year, so I had many years with her after, but we had a great time watching this on the big screen, and as a fan of TOS, she loved it. RIP to your mum.
5426,sorry to hear about the passing of your mother,so glad you got to spend time together to watch this fun and exciting film. Live Long and Prosper amigo
"Star Trek" was a groundbreaking TV show in the late 1960's, as it featured a unified Earth in the 23rd century. Human beings had resolved all their differences and were united as one people. No more warfare or famine or disease. Federation Starships had officers and crewman from all over the Earth - Russia, Japan, Africa, Scotland, etc. There was no more racism or bigotry to hinder people from working together. Humans explored the galaxy with beings from other planets, most notably Commander Spock, who was from the planet Vulcan. The series developed a cult following which is still strong today. Before Star Wars, there was STAR TREK! 🖖🖖🖖
You really need to watch the original tv series Star Trek with William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. I know you would love each episode and it would give you the origin of a lot the names and phrases you know or heard but unsure from where.
"Star Trek" was a series in the 60s and has been continued in about a dozen later "Star Trek" series over the years and countless movies. Every year since the early 70s, there have been "Star Trek" conventions all over the world. At this time, there are multiple "Star Trek" series, for example "Strange New Worlds." "Galaxy Quest" is a fond parody of the original "Star Trek" series from the 60s.
Star Trek is a universal rabbithole you definitely will enjoy exploring, TOS, the films, the unforgettable characters, they become family in a weird way, and the writing touches societal ills that ring true to any generation and they do it with grace and humor. ENJOY!
Even if you don't watch the original series, you really should watch all of the movies from that cast. Then, so much of this movie and the sequel will make a lot of sense and you'll understand everything that's going on better.
@@brandonflorida1092 I really don't think the Abrams movies need much knowledge of the series. I watched the movies first when I was young and the Abrams movie follow the movies for the most part. Wrath of Kahn stands by itself without needing watching Space Seed in my opinion. You really don't need to know the backstory so much because there's plenty of it all mentioned in the movies.
@@cchavezjr7 I didn't see your phrase "from that cast." Since it's the Kelvin timeline, I cannot disagree. However, I think everyone everywhere could benefit generally from watching TOS, or, at least, the first two seasons.
@@brandonflorida1092 I totally agree with that. It's something that everyone should see at some point or another but mainly I was just referring to how confused they were on some of the most basic scenes and characters. I hope they go back and watch those movies first before coming back to Into Darkness. Otherwise, the plot elements will be ok, but the significance will be totally lost.
fortunately i grew up watching this with my dad, back in the 80's, so i know all the original characters. they did a great job homering the original tv series.it's great that Leonard Nimoy participated, and reprized his role, i kinda wish William Shatner had a small role in it as well. all the original cast unfortunately is passing away. not many left from the tv series. i'm glad you checked it out, and a great reaction! 🖖
This is interesting. For us, this movie is an origin story. But, for Marian and Mary Joy, it's their first step on to the Star Trek world. So, they view this movie totally differently than the rest of us. Guys, the Vulcan Death Grip renders the person unconscious. And yes, Vulcans can meld minds.
@@jomojojo6603 ... It's been called both. The "Death Grip" was from a particular episode ("The Enterprise Incident"). Spock would do very well in pro wrestling. He could even pin down a horse! 😉😉
Great reaction, Marion & Joy! 👍👍 I'm very happy that you enjoyed the movie. It received mixed reviews, as many fans see the original cast of the TV show as the ONLY cast. Of course, it's up to everyone to make up their own minds about a rebooted Star Trek. Vulcans are an extremely strong race, both physically and mentally. They have exceptional cognitive ability and powers of telepathy. They were once aggressive and violent, but they set aside their passions and adopted the philosophy of logic and the shunning of emotions, which were stronger than human emotions. The Vulcan "neck pinch" that Spock used on Kirk is a very popular part of Star Trek lore. Vulcans know how to apply pressure to certain part of a person's neck/shoulder and cause unconsciousness.
Star Trek's actually 11 years older than SW, 1966 vs. 1977. And it's 6 series: The Original Series, The Animated Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space 9, Voyager, and Enterprise. There's also ~14 movies including this one.
It’s cool you guys are getting into Star Trek but starting with this one is like starting a famous series towards the end of the run. Not having any context on characters or story to fully appreciate it. While the actors played their parts decently, nothing can replace the original cast. I always found it weird that they had Spock and Uhurrah having a thing when that was never explored. It was always nurse Chapel who had a thing for Spock. You really should end here and go down the rabbit hole and start at the beginning. It would take a while but well worth it. And then if you want follow it up with The Next Generation. But if you did that it really would take forever.
To truly appreciate these newer Star Trek films, you really need to go back and check out the original series and the subsequent films. Yes, Star Trek is very different from Star Wars, but there is tons of really good Star Trek material both films and shows.
Fun trivia: the Romulan at the end who says 'that'll ignite the red matter' isn't the actor on screen, its Wil Wheaton who was Wesley Crusher in Star Trek: The Next Generation. This movie 'reboots' the original by having Spock & Nero go back in time and alter history, creating a new 'timeline'. Having not seen the original show, this must have been a bit confusing?.
Watching this reaction really brought a smile to my face! Glad that you seemed to really enjoy your first trip to "Space...the final frontier". Hope you continue this Trek! There is so much more...movies and TV shows galore!
I remember watching this film at the cinema in 2009 ( October ) and LOVED it.Then Avatar came out in December and broke all kinds of box office records,saw it twice too.
So glad you're doing this one! My dad loves sci fi, amd he and i always watched the reruns back in the 70s. I got him an autographed photo with a birthday message from William Shatner for his 80th birthday at a comic convention ❤
This timeline of young Kirk (Chris Pine) and Spock (Zachary Quinto) is called Kelvin Timeline in which Kirk's father's George (Chris Hemsworth) was 1st officer of USS Kelvin as his leader appointed George as Captain as he meeting that Rogue Romulan. Elder Spock known as Spock Prime (Leonard Nimoy) like Romulan Ship travel thru time in where young Kirk and Spock are odds with each other. Reason different timeline set by director, JJ Abrams that he wanted his version different from original series and movies.
Interesting note is that original actress, Nichelle Nichols, who played Uhura in original series & movies was suggested to played younger Uhura's grandmother, but then writers' strike of 2007 to 2008 hindered JJ's chance to write (add it) into the script
A LOT of people can't separate their fingers like Spock, don't feel bad. The original Kirk could not do it, he had to tie his fingers together to train himself. So if you become a big fan, you can learn to do it too.
Hope you watch the original Star Trek one day! This was a great movie with a lot of respect shown to the original, but still hard to beat the OG. Great reaction!
In my humble opinion, you should have watched the original Star Trek movies first. This version is a remake, and it helps to know the original characters and actors.
Although I love the TV series and movies, that is one thing that I have to let go concept wise because he breaks the rules and gets away with it, sometimes praised as "going with his gut". Instinct as a Captain only goes so far. I know Spock and McCoy are there to keep his moral compass in place but I don't think his is an example that Star Feet would want everyone to follow.
I have been a huge Star Trek fan since I first discovered it in syndication, shortly after its original run. I can't tell you how much I would love to see you react to some of the highlight episodes from that series (which produced far more than its fair share of genuinely classic episodes), and to the movies featuring the original TV cast. Then I'm sure you'd also really like some of the outstanding episodes from the various spinoff series, especially The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager. There are some other reactors watching these, but you two are among the best out there, and to see you introduced to these great shows would be a tremendous treat. By the way, Anton Yelchin, who played Ensign Chekov in these three reboot movies, died in a freak accident shortly after making the third one.
Very observant reaction, especially for someone new to Star Trek Watching at least some of the original series is certainly recommended if you are going to continue with these movies
A fun reaction. Very enjoyable. Marion, don't feel bad about your fingers - there was one TOS episode where Dr. McCoy was trying to do the Vulcan salute and he complained that it hurt worse than the stiff uniform collar he was wearing - a very funny scene.
Yes there is the original was72 episodes in the late 60s.i got to see most of them back then. Last season I was in the Air Force and only saw a few in the TV room of the barracks in 69
Fun to watch you see this. I've watched Star Trek since the beginning and this is my favorite movie. I think Joy had more fun with this than Marion even. Good job guys
In the minority here, but this is a totally fine place to start. It's a great stand alone story, and sometimes you just want a good time without needing 6 long series and even more movies first. If they watch all the earlier stuff too, then this can be a fun rewatch. Sheesh! people 😂
Just a quick question. I just watched your reactions to SAW 1, 2 and 3 and at the end of SAW 3, Marion said he couldn't wait for SAW 4. My question is..Did you quit the SAW franchise??? Please continue!! Saw 4 is great. Please answer. Thank you.
2009 Star Trek is a fun action-adventure but the plot makes very little sense, mainly because J.J. Abrams first question when he accepted the director gig was "How can we make Star Trek more like Star Wars?" Bleurgh. They throw scientific concepts around like they don't mean anything, and Trek has never done that before. A supernova threatening to destroy the GALAXY? That's one of the dumbest things i've ever heard, and it's just one example. In my mind, they sacrificed the heart and soul of Star Trek for mainstream success. This is of course positive in a way, because it made Star Trek relevant again after being on hiatus for a few years. I just wish this movie could have felt more like Trek. They should have switched some red matter for some grey matter.
@@enadegheeghaghe6369 No, but most of the sci-fi elements in everything from OS to ENT were based on actual science or theoretical scientific concepts. We know more now than we did in the 90s, and in the 90s we knew more than we did in the 60s. 2009 Star Trek is no science and all fantasy. And the plot contrivances... Kirk is EJECTED from the Enterprise in an escape pod instead of being taken to the brig? Oh right, he has to run into old Spock somehow. What?
So glad to see this movie up and you guys doing the reaction. I think this is one of my favorite movies but I am partial to Star Trek having watched it from the oldest series as a kid.
Hey you two! Life has been super busy recently, and I haven't had as much time to be on RUclips or watch your content, but I want to thank you SO much for always being your wonderful, genuine selves and for all the happiness and entertainment you bring! I LOVE Star Trek SO much, for many, many reasons, and I'm BEYOND happy to see you delve into it. 🤍💯
Just to let you know how much of a fan of star trek I have seen everything lol All the oldies up too 2016. Yes im old lol Might be bit hard to understand watching this one without seeing others?
That was dumb, they shouldve rewarded him for passing Spocks test. I know he was supposed to go down with the ship and his crew, but he actually saved them
Thanks guys for your great reaction. Would love to see you react to the next two sequels of this series. Then, if you like them, we can help you with the older ones. Hope to see them.
U guys should really watch the original series on your channel and the movies too. Being a life long Trekkie they r the best. & these 3 movies were good too.
I never enjoyed Star Wars series because it was more like a mix of a WW-2 and a Cowboy movie where to me Star Trek was trying to show us a future peek into our future possibilities.
You would appreciate this movie so much more if you had watched the original series. Or at least select episodes. Also the importance of the characters.
Do yourselves a favor... The sequel to this movie, "Star Trek Into Darkness" is an inferior movie. Not only that, it is an inferior clone of 1982's "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan". Before you watch "Into Darkness", go back to the beginning. Watch "Star Trek: The Motion Picture", followed by "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan".
Real shame you failed to watch TOS star trek. The next film remakes one of the original cast movies in the new timeline. Before you watch ST II The Wrath of Kahn you need to see the episode Space Seed from TOS. After the creator's death most Star Trek lost its touch by the JJ Abram films are an exception. I do have mixed feelings about the Kelvin Time line as the JJ set is called but with time travel event it allows changes for some major changes. The remake film that comes next makes several call backs and changes some roles in some great twist that do require one to watch the old first. After next gen there was Deep Space Nine and Voyager that were fair treks but the series Enterprise was lame and what followed was unbearable to watch Even the commercials making crew out like drugged out fans or Woke Disney Groomers were too much to take. BTW the song at the end was from TOS and Gene wrote words for it that were never used in the films but start off wit "Somewhere out in the starlight." I used to have the sheet music in a practice book. Also for those that choose to review DS9 I encourage one also do the series the idea was stolen from Babylon Five (Paramount had the script material for 10 years from the creator, JMS) DS9 if watched with B5 you will not only see the shared bits but the jabs at key names like Leta in DS9 is a slutty casino girl and B5 a key player and telepath. Some actors even supported B5 from trek including the Wife of the creator of Star Trek (at a time she was openly fighting with studio executives over some degree of control over her late husband's creation) Would like to see more but only if you do your homework and you failed on this one. BTW Star Trek you can skip around if you just make sure you hit key episodes but for Babylon Five that will never work as it is one big epic with each show a page and a season or film a chapter in one big book. The main show ran for 5 seasons plus a failed second book Babylon Five Crusade that does make for a 6th season. You don't need to do a full review of all the shows but you do need to at least watch them to have context. BTW with Babylon Five the second watch is often better than the first because things are set up years in advance that you miss the first time. (Little spoilers that you miss without looking for them)
You should watch real Star Trek not the artistic abortions of this movie and everything after ! Thats why it sucks because of all the Star Wars in it! Try The Orville !
To watch this before the original series or even the first movies....no offense but that is just stupid. You missed a lot but you wouldn't have if you wstched some of them first. For shame.
How DARE they watch movies of their own choosing! They have a lot of nerve! After all, it's their channel....HOW DARE they make their own decisions and watch Star Trek without your permission!!

2009 Star Trek is a fun action-adventure but the plot makes very little sense, mainly because J.J. Abrams first question when he accepted the director gig was "How can we make Star Trek more like Star Wars?" Bleurgh. They throw scientific concepts around like they don't mean anything, and Trek has never done that before. A supernova threatening to destroy the GALAXY? That's one of the dumbest things i've ever heard, and it's just one example.
In my mind, they sacrificed the heart and soul of Star Trek for mainstream success. This is of course positive in a way, because it made Star Trek relevant again after being on hiatus for a few years. I just wish this movie could have felt more like Trek. They should have switched some red matter for some grey matter.
Because the scientific concepts in previous star trek movies and Series all made complete sense. LOL
@@enadegheeghaghe6369 No, but most of the sci-fi elements in everything from OS to ENT were based on actual science or theoretical scientific concepts. We know more now than we did in the 90s, and in the 90s we knew more than we did in the 60s. 2009 Star Trek is no science and all fantasy.
And the plot contrivances... Kirk is EJECTED from the Enterprise in an escape pod instead of being taken to the brig? Oh right, he has to run into old Spock somehow. What?
So glad to see this movie up and you guys doing the reaction. I think this is one of my favorite movies but I am partial to Star Trek having watched it from the oldest series as a kid.
Hey you two! Life has been super busy recently, and I haven't had as much time to be on RUclips or watch your content, but I want to thank you SO much for always being your wonderful, genuine selves and for all the happiness and entertainment you bring! I LOVE Star Trek SO much, for many, many reasons, and I'm BEYOND happy to see you delve into it. 🤍💯
Just to let you know how much of a fan of star trek I have seen everything lol All the oldies up too 2016. Yes im old lol
Might be bit hard to understand watching this one without seeing others?
Always start with the original series then the first set of movies and TNG. ALWAYS.
That was dumb, they shouldve rewarded him for passing Spocks test. I know he was supposed to go down with the ship and his crew, but he actually saved them
What kind of school or training institution rewards a student for cheating in an exam? Did you even pay attention?
Kirk should have been expelled from starfleet for not only mutiny on the Enterprise, but for many rules he broke further on the series.
Thanks guys for your great reaction. Would love to see you react to the next two sequels of this series. Then, if you like them, we can help you with the older ones. Hope to see them.
U guys should really watch the original series on your channel and the movies too.
Being a life long Trekkie they r the best. & these 3 movies were good too.
Wait a minute! Yall SKIPPED OVER WRATH OF KHAN AND WENT TO THIS?
You guys need to watch the Original Series first 😊
I never enjoyed Star Wars series because it was more like a mix of a WW-2 and a Cowboy movie where to me Star Trek was trying to show us a future peek into our future possibilities.
That’s interesting, because when Gene Roddenberry first got Star Trek going, he said it was like the TV show “Wagon Train”, but in outer space.
Thanks!
Watch the original Star Trek films
Come with me, Cupcake!!
No no no Star trek the motion picture....it's the best...ya Goofy m8te from Australia
Star Trek II Wrath of Khan is one of the greatest sci fi flicks. Also the second in this series is kinda of a reboot of Khan.
Try to watch the 'Space Seed' episode from the original series first, the 'Wrath of Khan' movie is a sequel to it and will be easier to understand.
You would appreciate this movie so much more if you had watched the original series. Or at least select episodes. Also the importance of the characters.
It’s hard for me to watch any Star Trek stuff bc Idk where it left off or started…like a soap oper! Everybody was young in 2009 😅
Do more Star Trek, but before you watch the Wrath of Khan you have to watch the original series episode Space Seed :)
Wow your hair grew back! Amazing!
🤔😶
Gorgeous! Best comment and reply so far LOL
The movie is better if you already know the series and characters.
Please react to the movie Gremlins 1
Watch the old movies
Marion, you look wrecked, brother! Get some sleep!
it's 🍌👖 that you can do 🖖 with both hands
Well, it looks like the angry fanatics have arrived…..👎
A shame about the green skin roommate.
Starting Star Trek in the Kelvin timeline should be prohibited! You might as well believe the history of the Earth started in 2002.
Relax, they're new to the franchise, they'll get there like we all did.
@@d4mdcykey Natch. I'll eat some Targ for tinner. Ka'pla!
Do yourselves a favor... The sequel to this movie, "Star Trek Into Darkness" is an inferior movie. Not only that, it is an inferior clone of 1982's "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan". Before you watch "Into Darkness", go back to the beginning. Watch "Star Trek: The Motion Picture", followed by "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan".
SCREW THE KELVIN TIMELINE! Its just an excuse for JJ Abrams to ignore the canon of the original and destroy Trek and drive it into the ground.
Real shame you failed to watch TOS star trek. The next film remakes one of the original cast movies in the new timeline. Before you watch ST II The Wrath of Kahn you need to see the episode Space Seed from TOS. After the creator's death most Star Trek lost its touch by the JJ Abram films are an exception. I do have mixed feelings about the Kelvin Time line as the JJ set is called but with time travel event it allows changes for some major changes. The remake film that comes next makes several call backs and changes some roles in some great twist that do require one to watch the old first. After next gen there was Deep Space Nine and Voyager that were fair treks but the series Enterprise was lame and what followed was unbearable to watch Even the commercials making crew out like drugged out fans or Woke Disney Groomers were too much to take. BTW the song at the end was from TOS and Gene wrote words for it that were never used in the films but start off wit "Somewhere out in the starlight." I used to have the sheet music in a practice book. Also for those that choose to review DS9 I encourage one also do the series the idea was stolen from Babylon Five (Paramount had the script material for 10 years from the creator, JMS) DS9 if watched with B5 you will not only see the shared bits but the jabs at key names like Leta in DS9 is a slutty casino girl and B5 a key player and telepath. Some actors even supported B5 from trek including the Wife of the creator of Star Trek (at a time she was openly fighting with studio executives over some degree of control over her late husband's creation) Would like to see more but only if you do your homework and you failed on this one. BTW Star Trek you can skip around if you just make sure you hit key episodes but for Babylon Five that will never work as it is one big epic with each show a page and a season or film a chapter in one big book. The main show ran for 5 seasons plus a failed second book Babylon Five Crusade that does make for a 6th season. You don't need to do a full review of all the shows but you do need to at least watch them to have context. BTW with Babylon Five the second watch is often better than the first because things are set up years in advance that you miss the first time. (Little spoilers that you miss without looking for them)
Yall could AT LEAST watch Wrath Of Khan if yall Clueless on Trek.
That’s not true Star Trek. That’s JJ Abrams Trek! It started an avalanche of really bad versions with terrible writing Picard/ Discovery- all bad
You should watch real Star Trek not the artistic abortions of this movie and everything after ! Thats why it sucks because of all the Star Wars in it! Try The Orville !
Mrs. Joy is hella smarter than Mr. Joy. No offense
Running out of movies to watch?
To watch this before the original series or even the first movies....no offense but that is just stupid. You missed a lot but you wouldn't have if you wstched some of them first. For shame.
If you're going to be a prikk, just do it. Don't give any BS lines like "no offense, but...." 👎👎
30:14 Dude.
20:27 no disrespect but how dare you watch a Star Trek movie and you don't know nothing about the characters or who they are
How DARE they watch movies of their own choosing! They have a lot of nerve! After all, it's their channel....HOW DARE they make their own decisions and watch Star Trek without your permission!!
