I remember seeing a trailer for it a long time ago and it has been in my Netflix queue for way too long! (Don't get out much!) I think I'll still give a shot.

I'm in the UK, so will just wait for it to come out on DVD, that'll do the trick ;-) Always sounds to me like Harvey Weinstein is chewing some seriously sour grapes. I would say i was a Trekki, though it is hard to compare the two, as when i think of it i instantly think of the TV series in the 90's (Ben Sisko rocked!), not the films (although fav film was IV - the one with Macey and Gracie :-) ) Kind of like Fanboys, thought you might be interested, but a bit more serious (probably not a many lightsaber=penis jokes) is 'The People vs George Lucas'. Trailer was released on Friday,a documentary about Fanboys, trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aoc3roT81nU&fmt=22 Really glad it finally got released, esp with its cancer sub-plot intact. reckon Weinsteins’ limited release, is still gonna damage its chances of getting much of an international release.

Your review confirmed my fears. As a fan of both Star Trek and Star Wars I figured that the old tired cliche of ST fans vs SW fans would continue to be beaten to death. I'll save my money and watch something else. If I want to lower my IQ with more SW vs ST fanwank, I'll view the MANY youtube videos for free.

"Trekkies" was being used as sort of a derogatory term by the media and the like, and fans adopted "Trekker" as a way to thumb their nose at being made fun of. Trekkies ended up being the more popular term, which ended up winning out. Sort of a VHS and Beta Max thing. ;) @Cambios
