Ugh. I like Star Trek. Not the same way I love Star Wars, of course not. But I don't see why there has to be a conflict between the two. I recall there was a chapter in Leonard Nimoy's autobiography titled something like "Thank you, George Lucas" because he proved that large-scale, blockbuster space films were possible, and thus paved the way for Star Trek movies. I'd like to see more of that friendliness.
(I am, however, very leery of this new Star Trek film. I fear that it's missing the real point of it in favor of noisy explosions. People may say it's Star Trek with a kind of Star Wars influence, but I fear it's influenced more by, say, Independence Day or other such loud films without great substance. Just my impressions from the trailers, of course. :)
