Ru at the Movies: Star Trek

IS THERE A Z IN THE HOUSE. I NEED A Z, FOR I FEEL THE NEED TO GEEK OUT. I HAVE SEEN THE STAR TREK MOVIE, AND IT IS GOOD.

DEFINITELY a lot of fun. I was a little wary going into it. This being a reset of the series and all, I wasn't entirely sure what they were going to do. The last time we had a Star Trek that was supposed to appeal to a younger generation, we had Enterprise, with its gratuitous oiling up of stacked crewmembers and general pain on the part of the writing. And now to take beloved characters and essentially rework them, I was afraid of what the final result would be. I was pleasantly surprised, though, to find that despite obviously gearing it towards a younger generation, they seemed to keep the essence of the series in place. Being somebody who probably started at least listening to Star Trek episodes in the womb (Mum's a Trek fan, so it's practically bred in. XD), I'm glad to see they achieved that. It's painfully obvious that they're planning on doing more movies. I'm actually looking forward to that, though. There's more that can be done with the crew, with everything. ^_^

And now, for rambling, more critical analysis.
