I liked it... but the people behind me were very vocal about not getting any of the jokes or references. You need to have some understanding of sci-fi and geek culture to get the most enjoyment out of the movie, because if you don't know about things like Kirk fighting a Gorn you probably aren't going to understand the reenactment, and the rest of the jokes will similarly fall flat if you don't know what they are referencing.

Totally aggree, that is what i said. Loved the film, the sci-fi references and the appearances or voices of certain people.
You think Seth Rogen and you automatically assume Funny People type comic relief. His voice fits perfectly with Paul after seeing the film I honestly couldn't picture anyone else voicing the role, the movie had some idiotic moments that could of did with-out but it was definitely a movie I enjoyed and will throw on at some point again.

Your right there, and a bit of british humour helps as well.
I really liked the movie, really made me laugh.
