Lower Decks began, way back in 1997, as a website dedicated to the Star Trek franchise (read more about our history here). Later this evening, the eleventh feature film based on Star Trek, created by Gene Roddenberry, opens in theaters across the United States. Star Trek (2009) stars, among others, Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy (who played Spock in the original television series) and is directed by J.J. Abrams, the man behind both Lost and Fringe.
Expectations are high for Star Trek (2009). Can it revive a forty-year-old franchise that hasn’t had a movie in theaters since 2003 (Nemesis) or a television show on the air since 2005 (Star Trek: Enterprise)? With its youthful cast of primarily unknown actors and actresses how will hardcore fans of Star Trek react?
Judging from this thread at the Observation Lounge there will be a lot of fans seeing the movie tonight and good word of mouth could help power the movie through the weekend.
