Love, Love, Love it!!

How completely awesome is the new Star Trek movie? I went to go see it (in IMAX) with my sister this afternoon, and wish I could go see it again tonight! I know that some hard-core Trek fans are griping about some things about the movie, but as someone who was pretty much raised on Star Trek, I personally thought it was great. There was no way J.J. Abrams (the director) could ever please everyone, and I thought the way he integrated the main characters and the core things that make Star Trek "Star Trek" into a plotline that could reinvent the franchise was genius. He captured that spirit and essence of the Star Trek universe and made it relevent for the modern movie audience. The actors were great (and great-looking btw - hello Chris Pine as Captain Kirk?) and were able to walk the line of being true to the history of the characters without falling into straight imitation.

If you're a fan of the Star Trek world, run to the theatre to see this movie. If you're not a fan of the Star Trek world, run to the theatre to see this movie. I for one will be going back to see it again (and definitely in IMAX - holy crap that IMAX screen is amazing!!)
