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.

Apparently Nichelle Nichols was going to be Uhura's grandma but that one didn't work either.

YES. Maybe there will be deleted scenes on the DVD and everyone will win!
