Early Twitter Buzz: Star Trek Has Secret Premiere In Austin

Paramount pulled a MASSIVE bait and switch with tonight's Alamo Drafthouse's screening of Wrath of Kahn on Monday night. The announced line-up included some never before seen footage from JJ Abrams Star Trek followed by Star Trek II: Wrath of Kahn. Guess what... They didn't show Kahn at all... The Austin Texas audience because the first audience to see the entire new Star Trek film. Leonard Nimoy, Damon Lindelof, Alex Kurtzman and Bob Orci were in attandance. I'm so jealous! So what is the early reaction? Lets go to the Twitters....

jaireaux: I  don't think you'll be disappointed. The cast is superb, the story is compelling, the action is exciting, and Abrams even avoids any blatant cheesy "winks" about his reboot. If Star Trek is the bluebird of the summer movie season, then we are in for a great ride.

ColeAbaius: Yes, I'm the guy who's never seen an episode of ST and got to see Star Trek tonight. As a total ST Virgin – the movie is incredible.

I will be updating this post as more twitter thoughts come in. Also, the world premiere in Sydney Australia takes place in just a couple hours, so expect some reviews to be online in the morning.
