Star Trek is fecking excellent, not a fan at all and wasn't expecting it to be up to much. Definitely edge of the seat stuff and it looks fantastic.

I was dragged along to see it in Omagh on Thursday night for the first showing.

10 seconds into the start of the film, it broke. Alot of upset Trekkies. Eventually they got it going, but it turned out that Omagh cinema don't test the reel out before playing films for the first time. We were watching the new film, but it was a French version. The whole thing was dubbed in French. I was roaring and laughing in the cinema, the Trekkies were maaaaaaaaad!!

I heard about that, class!  Someone said to me if the French got the Omagh version there must have been a riot in Paris!

My god there could have been a full scale riot. They take it very seriously.
My sister was at Omagh Cinema on Friday nite and went to see X-Men the same happened Zig the film stopped just at the start and was delayed for half hour. then when they got it up and going it was real jumpy. all received complamentary tickets after that but still.

I would say u's seen the French version possibly due to the Credit Crunch think they bought a cheap copy in Nutts Market just that day. Bad times for Omagh Cinema.

Star Trek is an excellent film. Great cast, though I`m not a fan of that idiot who plays Scotty. Spock and Kirk were excellent, great to see both Spocks. A must watch for anyone who likes Sci-Fi.

I ever thought I'd agree with a Down person, but this is spot on!

Star Trek is a thrill ride from start to finish, im a big Star Wars fan and loved some of the Trek movies especially undiscovered, and first contact.

I went with a mate who hates spaceship movies as he calls them, but he enjoyed it. The story is fun and fast paced, one of girls on the bridge is super hot, great special effects aswell, how good were the actors playing spock and kirk, fair play. JJ Abrahams can do no wrong it seems.

Watched Pineapple express last night aswell, cracking show, ridiculus scenarios but hilarious stuff .

Watched Tropic Thunder for the 1st time and it was ok. Tom Cruise absolutely made that film, tears of laughter at his scenes

The Van on BBC Four now. Great show!

Seen Angels and Demons this evening there. Probably one of the films I was looking forward to most and was disappointed with it. If you have read the book, the film doesnt come close to it. The film follows about half of the book. Thought they left alot of key things out of it.

Just home from it myself, it's enjoyable but by no means a masterclass.  (the book was imo) It's better than the Da Vinci code. 
Not sure of what key things you feel they left out from the book? They left out a lot of stuff from the start of the book about antimatter but apart from that I really can't think of anything? (It's been a while since I read the book though).  These films are never going to be better or even as good as the books imo so we're always going to be dissapointed. 

I'd love to hear the opinion of someone who hasn't read the book.

I could post these things but dont want to ruin it for anyone else who wants to see it. Anyway just a few things that I can remember and I hope doesnt spoil would be : How the first diagram was discovered, How he actually got to Vatican City, no mention at all of Maximilian Kohler (who I though was key in the book considering the end in the book), the last bishop and scene at last altar of science, Vittoria kidnapping and what happened in 3rd altar of science, the 5th brand, Rocher having a bigger role than Olivetti, the scene in the pope's office at the end INVOLVED different people than the book, the Camerlengo at the end, Langdon not being in the helicopter, the discovery of the antimatter. That's all I can think off at the minute. Do you think these would have been better in the film?

Would also love to hear the opinion of someone who hasnt read the book. Angels and Demons is far better than the Da Vinci Code. It was before the Da Vinci code but I think in the film they mentioned that the da vinci code happened before this.

*POSSIBLE SPOILERS*
I was surprised that there wasn't more at the start about the antimatter and Kohler but to go in to that would have been possibly another hour on the film and would have meant that the first 20 minutes (at least) of the film would be going on about antimater, I'm not sure how many people's attentions that would hold so I can understand them deciding not to run with it.

I'm glad they left out Vittorias kidnapping, I don't think it would have added anything to the film.  I also think they were right to leave langdon out of the helicopter (too unrealistic) and in the book doesn't the camerlengo turn out to be the Pope's actual son, I'm glad they didn't run with that line in the film.

I was a bit disappointed at how the Camerlengo was confronted at the end of the film, the book was better in that regard but
I was also disappointed that the camerlengo pretend to get a vision from God to lead them to the bomb.

I have read the book and I still have no idea what either of you are talking about! It must have made a big impression
