   Well the critics may influence some people to see or not see the movie but   
   in the end it will be the fans who make the final decision if it's a good movie   
   or not.   
      
   I think it was Gene Rodenbury who said once that the week that Trek comes out   
   it is the top grosing movie because all the Star Trek Fans go see it.  It's the   
   following weeks that tell the story if they like it they go again and bring   
   their friends.  If they don't like then the draw drops and we know it's a flop.   
      
   I've said before that I'm not pleased with the "parallel universe" this   
   trek runs in but I still enjoy it for what it is.  Though I STILL would like   
   them the get back to "our universe" somehow.   
      
   You know for those that have not been around "FIDO" for as long as I have when   
   the TV Shows were running and there were four TREK Areas running one for each   
   of the shows, there were "lurkers" who read FIDO because it told them how they   
   were doing and what the people though of the shows and the characters.  There   
   were even rumors that some posted under fake names even though you were (and   
   still are), required to use your real name when posting, (in most areas). Also   
   there were rumors that one or two episodes were directly related to posters   
   personalities in TREK.
