Seriously, I think I heart him more than the original, he’s a younger, sexier and slightly less (but forgivably so) cheesy version of Shatner. Be still my beating heart.
I saw the new trek film last night (at last)! Sweet electric jesus, it was awesome – I laughed, I cried, I was relieved that it was actually good – I loved it so much that desired a sequel! (I hear one is in the works, squee!)
There’s a couple of things I need to rant about (warning – spoilers ahead):
- What was with the Uhura / Spock romance? Yes, yes, Vulcans can love and all that but it just seemed a bit out of left field.
- Did we really need to have a scene with Uhura in her underwear? I want the sequel to include more shirt-off Kirk please.
- Leonard Nimoy was pivotal to the plot and it was sweet to see him reprise his role, but boy is he ever getting old.
- What happened to the Star Trek timeline reset that we’re all used to? I guess they had to stray from the formula a little.
I’m pretty sure that they tried to circumvent all Star Trek traditions with the alternative timeline thing but that’s a bit of a cop out. I loved it anyway. I almost wish that the Canucks had lost earlier so I could have seen it sooner. *hides*
