STAR TREK
scarred:
Just got back from a preview screening of this, and damn if it isn't the best Trek movie since Wrath of Kahn. The new actors are morphed seamlessly into the original crew, but even as the acknowledge old character molds, they immediately start to break free of them. Each of the main bridge crew says their key catchphrases without ever breaking their stride (and plenty of other intensively nerdy references are abound), but at the same time, this isn't diplomatic, bumpy foreheads, alien ambassadors Star Trek. This is an action adventure. It's funny. It's awesome. And although sometimes it's even a little too fast-paced even for me, it makes up for it because FUCKING PLANETS IMPLODE.
Anyone else seen it yet?
Jimmy the Squid:
Actually about to step out to see this at the IMAX right now. Trip report tomorrow, I just need to decide which jacket to wear.
LTK:
I just saw it yesterday evening. I found it really good too. If you've never seen the original Star Trek, it's an exhilirating action adventure. If you did, it's even mrore than that, and yet it never falls short for the newcomers.
I was quite impressed by how they kept the action going all the way through narrating the backstory. But I don't really know much more to say about it. Great movie, period.
Jimmy the Squid:
Yeah. I'm not posting any spoilers or anything except to say that this is definitely the best film I've seen this year and, I think, is up there with films like The Dark Knight and Iron Man (two of my favourites). I'm not much of a Star Trek nerd (still a nerd, just not much) and I absolutely loved it. My girlfriend doesn't even like science fiction and she thought it was awesome.
See this film. Seriously.

Also, an entertaining video featuring Chris Pine & Zachary Quinto getting interviewed by... that kind of Trekkie.

The uncomfortableness is so lol'worthy.
