Sweet. The other three Star Treks have been excellent, so I'm looking forward to this. (Amazon's pre-order is only $9.99 for the DVD right now. 67% off.) From Rifftrax: "Like the odometer on your 1984 Plymouth Reliant rolling back over to zero, the Star Trek series gets a reset! The previous thirty-eight films had barely begun to scratch the surface of these fascinating characters, and so Star Trek is back to answer all your burning questions: What’s Scotty’s favorite brand of bacon? Why does no one seize the moment and slap the hell out of Chekov? Why does Uhura jam that huge piece of machined steel into her ear? Was Spock’s mom younger than him, and which uncle taught him that nerve pinchy thing? A tour de force of shameless retconning, Star Trek nevertheless introduces a bold new sci-fi innovation: time travel! And black holes! And characters meeting themselves! And ice planets! And evil nemeses who vow revenge! And ship flybys! These are by themselves very compelling reasons to watch, but Star Trek gives you an even more compelling one—to learn Uhura’s first name. Sure, you never knew she didn’t have a first name, it was never an issue for you, and you haven’t even given it one millisecond’s thought, but at last you get to find out! (It’s Nyota, by the way.) Mike, Kevin and Bill self-consciously tug down their red Federation uniform tops and go boldly into Star Trek!" Released on 11/19!

The other Trek Trax are great, and this was one of the most wildly entertaining movies of the year, and yet, I can't work up much excitment over this news. Huh.
The movie is a must purchase for me on the 17th...the Trax...eventually I'll get around to it, I suppose. Might take a few months though.

I think this will be lots of fun. I really enjyed the movie, but I can see lots of opportunity for riffs.

My full review for Star TrekAllow me to lower expectations on this one (maybe that’ll help, if I get them low enough there’s no place to go but up). This wasn't my bag. Fart, barf and dandruff level jokes are the norm, with a smattering of truly clever material tossed in sparingly. Hardly enough to make this trax enjoyable. What a disappointment
