Star Trek Premiere Gets Standing Ovation, Surprise Showing In Austin

MrKaos writes "Proving that science fiction can still be great entertainment, J.J. Abrams appears to have impressed Star Trek fans at the official world premiere of Star Trek, who gave the film a five-minute standing ovation at the Sydney Opera House in Australia today. Meanwhile, mere hours beforehand, flummoxed fans at the Alamo Drafthouse theater in Austin, TX, deceived into thinking they were seeing a special, extended version of Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, were pleasantly surprised when a disguised Leonard Nimoy greeted them and announced they would be seeing the new film in its entirety. ILM's influence on the film is reported as visually stunning, and lucky Australian fans are scheduled to see the movie first, as it opens a day before the American release."

I prefer to call it "Star Trek: Nematode".

Somehow it just feels right.

Actually, I think we finally get to find out why Spock is so dern smart. It involves cutting people's heads open!

The really important question is whether the Enterprise's license plates say H3R035 on it, or something.
