New Zealand Premiere - No spoilers

I just left the New Zealand premiere. The best Star Trek movie I have seen to date. The cast were amazing and very generous to the fans taking photo and signing autographs. Zachary even shook my hand.

 

You look person! I'm so green. One more month....

 

You got to see it. Cool.

 

Bastard! To think this movie has played *so* close to home!

Anyway, here was the verdict from NZ's Nightline show (Also, the first time the new Trek movie has gained any mention on a major network here):

They seemed a bit obsessed with the "geek" value of Trek, but it was good!

 

There are a bunch of clips from 3news with interviews with the cast here.

 

Yeah the people who don't get Star Trek always think it's a geek thing, they just don't get it. I took my 20 year old niece who has never seen Star Trek before (yeah I know how the hell did I let that happen). She came out of the theatre and couldn't stop talking about the movie. She is no "geek" and she loved it. I think it also had something to do with Zachary putting his arm around her too...

 

LOL! Geekdom can take over the world, one geek at a time! Great job beagleboy!

 

The people that say Star Trek is geeky and for geeks only are the people that have never watched it

 

Hey fellow Kiwis!!!

Glad to hear the premiere went well - can't wait to see this - my posse of friends have already booked us tickets - let the countdown continue!!!!

 

Can we book already? Shows how on the ball I am...

 

There's a bunch of video from the NZ premiere, including full interviews, here: http://www.3news.co.nz/TVShows/Nightline/StarTrekCoverage/tabid/1107/Default.aspx

 

Well, you and your niece are now screwed. Since Sylar touched you both, he can shapeshift and pretend to be either of you.

 

There's only one option now.

Nuke your niece from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

 

Speaking of booking early, I subscribed to Fandango's fan watch so that the moment these tickets go on pre-sale here in the states, I'll get an email so I can pre-order about 12 at this point.

Well, according to the woman at my work, she booked way before me - and my friend has already done the same, a little time after she did... unless this is some belated April fools, I'm pretty sure early bookings can be made...
