How about having Chekov's sister replace him in the next movie! How was the film? Going to see it Sunday in 3D Imax.

Now that's an awesome idea! I'd love to see a slightly different version of Chekov. 
The movie was entertaining. The music they played in the trailers that made it seem cheesy and too pop-oriented actually fit well in the plot. The character developments were good, the pace of the action moved right along, and the visuals were nice. We saw it in 3D (not IMAX, just regular) and it was worth it. My favorite part was McCoy needling Spock about something he gave Uhura - you'll know it when you see it, as you might laugh out loud like I did.
It's still not close to my favorite Trek movies, but I'll happily watch this again without cringing or screaming obscenities like I did with the last one.
The best part was I went with my son and afterwards he's asking me all these questions to get the history of the relationships between the characters, so I'm having to go over both timelines. What a fun discussion! I started showing him the original TV series episodes last year, but it fell off our radar - I think we'll get back to that because he wants to see the original movies and I told hm he can't until he watches the TV episodes and sees the bonds develop between Kirk, Spock, and McCoy - you just don't get the full weight of what happens without that backstory, especially if you're watching The Wrath of Khan, The Search for Spock, or The Voyage Home.
Let us know what you think of it when you see it FH!
