I was apprehensive about JJ Abrams doing it because he hit with Lost and struck out with "Fringe"<br />In fact his casting on Fringe was horrible and near perfect on Trek.<br /><br />I enjoyed the movie immenselyoh, and also your singing at The LegionUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13860201585957743445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-78044201174308221022009-05-15T07:10:00.000-07:002009-05-15T07:10:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Adoresixtyfourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08790996490416393071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-65562515079604744822009-05-14T23:56:00.000-07:002009-05-14T23:56:00.000-07:00I just came back from watching it. FINALLY! See, I...I just came back from watching it. FINALLY! See, I figured, coming into this as a Trekkie who already knew the story, that I'd probably enjoy it, but not necessarily be extremely engaged in it. <br /><br />10 minutes into the movie I was crying like a bitch. What Abrams did so well was make me care about these characters again, maybe more so than I ever did. <br /><br />I agree with Beques' comment about the new Romulans. That was my one real complaint. If not for that, I'd call it perfection. <br /><br />My favorites were definitely Simon Pegg (but that could be 'cause I'm partial to anything Simon Pegg) and Chekov!<br /><br />I felt a great deal of Trekkie pride after it was all done. There was a fire behind it that'd been missing for years. I got my little brother and sis to say they loved Star Trek, and THATwas a huge task. I get told Star Trek is lame by people all the time. This is my chance to say "fuck you."<br /><br />I can't wait to see more. Without a doubt, Abrams has taken this to a magical place--where Trekkies and non Trekkie's alike can agree that they are watching a truly beautiful tale unfold. It's opened up the door to a new generation of Trekkie's without isolating the tried and true. <br /><br />Ashley, out.ashleyhttp://ashleyaguirre.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-12092385824088495172009-05-14T19:59:00.000-07:002009-05-14T19:59:00.000-07:00Welcome baaaaaack!

I love Spock more than ever and Bones was fucking awesome. Fantastic casting. <br /><br />Trix, we can be geeks together. <br /><br />xosuperbadfriendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18021303569879087260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-56344820160412195072009-05-13T07:40:00.000-07:002009-05-13T07:40:00.000-07:00OK saw it last night and as you know Jonny, I'm as...OK saw it last night and as you know Jonny, I'm as hard core a Trekkie as one can get. A Trekkie short on time, so here goes:<br /><br />1. I didn't think McCoy was all that great, to be honest. I mean, he was good, but I thought the actor was really only EMULATING DeForest, not CHANNELING him. It was like a simulation, not a sincere imitation. He seemed to dutifully pull off the requisite Bones-isms but he just wasn't quite crusty enough, not country doctor enough. <br /><br />2. Now, Simon Pegg channeled the FUCK out of Scotty, with a vengence. Far and away the best, and a scene-stealer to boot. They way you say this Chekov was the boy genius Walter Koenig's Chekov was supposed to be? (Right on, I agree) This Scotty was the mad scientist James Doohickey's really was deep down inside. <br /><br />3. Hottest: Sulu<br /><br />4. I did not like these new Romulans. It looked like Jim Rose's Circus stage show at Lollapalooza circa 1994. They looked as though they should be wearing Throbbing Gristle t-shirts under their armor. Even renegade Romulans would have more militaristic honor than this. <br /><br />5. HOLY FUCK, did Sarek not look EXACTLY like Robert Forster of the Go-Betweens? The girlfriend I saw the film with is also a Go-B's fan and we giggled uncontrollably for 10 solid minutes at this realization. I started imagining him solemnly speaking lyrics from "Before Hollywood" to Spock in several scenes. I love when my pop culture Venn diagrams overlap in this manner!<br /><br />6. Major points for Kirk and the green girl, and not going too far into the Spock/Uhura thing. <br /><br />"Spock, Vulcan prophecy says that a Bad Debt Follows You into the Core of a Flame, when one has a Head Full of Steam."Bequeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10672909085197079657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-61463597101180866072009-05-12T11:46:00.000-07:002009-05-12T11:46:00.000-07:001) I hate "The Omega Glory" with a passion.

In fact, I would go as far as to say it might be my favorite Trek series. <br /><br />Either way, I agree that the movie totally kicked some ass. I just wish I hadn't bought that hot tub-sized Diet Coke at the concession stand. I spent the last half of the movie tearfully crossing my legs. Given that distraction and the fact that I loved the film, I plan on seeing it again, this time at the Imax.<br /><br />By the way, and it was nice meeting the both of you last night.

Karl Urban was so good at capturing the essence of DeForest without making it a parody performance. **spoiler** I liked how Zachary Quinto was able to deliver a "Live Long and Prosper' as the most perfect 'fuck you' moment. Nice!<br /><br />To the ladies that are not as geeky as me and dread being 'dragged' to this by their geek boyfriends - there is so much eye candy that you almost get a toothache...in...the um....eye? (stupid mixed metaphors).<br /><br />There was a wee lad next to me, sitting on the edge of his seat and pounding it in excitement as the movie reached it's grand climatic scene. That was the true testament to this being a 'full of action' movie for all the ages to enjoy.<br /><br />And for the record - I kinda liked Voyager, if only for it's strong female captain. <br /><br />xo<br />TrixiMissTrixihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396685421911541091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039385200676829521.post-46372750212959484922009-05-08T08:06:00.000-07:002009-05-08T08:06:00.000-07:00I'm so excited.
