I think it's a bad move too, do they want it to bomb?

In the winter there isn't as many huge movies so it could do well over the course of several weeks. however in the summer it needs a huge opening for it to go anywhere.

If they're doing it for the summer release date, f*** them.

If they really need the time to make it good, I'm fine with that.

Saw a short trailer for it before some movie a few weeks back. The single shot was awsome.

I read elsewhere that JJ Abrams wanted to do some changes and without a writing staff it was impossible. Now that they're back that can revise and reshoot scenes which would necessitate some additional production time.

I understand the reasons behind moving back the release date, even if I'm not happy with it. I'd rather see it done right and come out later than be rushed and less than it could be.

I don't really see the relevance of the argument that, Star Trek being a family draw, makes it more desirable to open at Christmas. My entire family wants to see this film, and we'd actually be more likely to see it in the Summer than over the Christmas holidays when we're busier going to parties, visiting friends and family, shopping, wrapping, unwrapping, eating, eating some more, eating a little more...

well i'll wait as long as i have to. if i have to wait until 2010, i will...maybe they'll bring back a star trek tv show by 2012? i can hope at least!

Did we already skip May 2008 ? I thought there was still 3 months till that date. I imagine the merchandise isn't ready yet. That's probably the real delay.

That means all the dorks camping out will have to endure 110 degrees here instead of the 70 degrees it would be in December... ha ha ha...
