roxybisquaintDid everyone go see Star Trek this weekend? I'm not a big Star Trek fan, never have been. But since I grew up watching reruns of the original series, I was kind of excited about the new movie. So tonight we went to see it and I loved it. Really loved it. It's not often that a movie is better than I expect, but Star Trek was.
I thought Kirk was a little over-the-top annoying, and early on I was worried this was going to be Top Gun in space. But they moved past that set-up pretty well. Spock was all kinds of awesome. And little Chekov was way adorable (he's in fact making me actually want to see T4 — maybe that guy as Kyle will counteract my anticipated dislike of Christian Bale as John Connor).
The theater was packed and everyone seemed to have a great time. We had three generations of people in our group and we all had a blast. Oh and at the end, the theater erupted into applause. Cool. I don't remember the last time that happened at a movie. So go see it if you haven't all ready. Star Trek is a rockin' good time.

I had a Top Gun panic too, but the Kirk character came around to be very enjoyable. All the Spockness wasn't lost on me, there was a point when I said to myself "This movie needs (even) more
cowbellSpock"I was totally flailing with my companions about that kid being Kyle Reese and that probably was the cherry on the Star Trek movie fun-sundae lol

Yes yes yes. :)
