Fire everything!

I went to see a film tonight. Oh, you might've heard of it - Star Trek

So there was a lot of stuff that happens in it. In addition to that, I think I have a mega crush on Zachary Quinto I really loved it.

Also, if I understand it right, because of Captain Nemo, er, Nero going back in time and changing everything, this story is effectively a whole new Star Trek AU where from this point on the scriptwriters in future do not have to stick to the original series their lives are different from what they would've been.

I was worried about what they were going to do with all the chemistry of Kirk/Spock but between them I think the two actors got it going on pretty well. I liked the Spock/Uhura storyline too, even if I was cheesed off that Uhura got to do little more than run about in a mini skirt kissing Spock. Some kicking ass on her part would've been appreciated considering she was the main female character. (Also, miniskirts, yeesh)

I thought Winona Ryder as Spock's mum was a totally wasted opportunity.

Simon Pegg and Karl Urban were just beautiful as Scotty and Bones. Chekov the nerdtastic 17 year old maths genius was a lovely reinvention of the original.

At the end, we both just wanted another one.

Saw an advance showing late Thursday night and fell in love with the world of Star Trek all over again. I watched the original series back in the 60's and have been thrilled by all things 'Star Trek' ever since. I didn't get drawn into Deep Space 9 or Enterprise like I did the other three series but still watched some of the episodes from those shows.

Zachary Quinto IS perfect as the young Mr. Spock. By the end of the film, you could see the chemistry between these characters melding them into the central core of the space crew that we have come to know and love over the past 40 years.

LIVE LONG AND PROSPER

Yeah, it's such a lovely remake, reinspiring the old trek love. :) I think a lot of people fell in love with it all over again. There's a lot of enthusiasm for it on my flist, I think because it was done so well done.
