If you’re a fan of Star Trek and have not seen this then you need to have your head examined. For those who are not big sci-fi fans or specifically Star Trek fans this film will still entertain you. The characters I’ve grown up to love have been re-energized and put back on the big screen with a great deal of respect for the original series/movies. Those who don’t know them from Adam I believe will get a great snap shot of things to come. Many of the things we learn about each character were originally revealed over many shows and movies. This could have been a flow and story killer but IMHO works just fine. I can’t wait to see the sequel.
What's great about it: Loved it. Can't wait for J.J. Abrams to kick out the sequel.
What's not so great: I'm not a big fan of the Blu-Ray cover.
I was a bit skeptical of the newest version of Judge Dredd. I collected the comics way back and was a bit disappointed in the first Judge Dredd movie with Stallone. The new movie is much more gritty and has a more "real" feel to it. The story and actors are great and I found myself wanting more when this film was over. I truly hope that they make this a trilogy as was originally planned even though the box office takes were less than expected. I think once people see this on bluray, dvd or ppv they will most likely go see the sequel in theaters. If you're a Judge Dredd fan or not I recommend this action flick!

Budget for the film was 50 million Domestic: $13,414,714 40.9% + Foreign: $19,344,901 59.1% = Worldwide: $32,759,615 This from Boxoffice Mojo. Maybe if the DVD/Blue-Ray sales make up the difference and then some.
I haven't seen this movie yet and really looking forward to getting it on Blue-Ray
