I am not a Trekkie but I plan on seeing this movie at some point this weekend because, well it looks pretty freaken cool. Also I am a fan of JJ Abrams who brought us Cloverfield and Lost. Early reviews have been solid and they say the movie is not necessarily for Trek fans, but it will reach a more broad audience. Chris Pine stars as Captain Kirk and looks to boost his name as well with this movie.

Wolverine made an estimated $87 million dollars opening weekend and that was with terrible reviews from a lot of critics out there. It has a much larger audience than Star Trek, but can Trekkie take it down?
