Ok – so I have now seen the new “Star Trek” movie two times and I have loved it both times. First – I saw it twice because I didn’t take my kids with me the first time I saw it and they almost killed me. Second – I will totally “out” myself and will admit to being a “Trekkie”… yes… I did watch all the original shows… yes… I did own Star Trek Stuff… yes… I did go to a Star Trek convention in the 70’s BUT I didn’t dress up, if that helps. I also watched several of the later shows, Next Generation being my favorite.
OK – that said – I really loved the show because they did it right. As a Trekkie they acknowledged a lot of the cannon (history) of the show and did a great nod to some of the inside jokes (i.e. “I’m a Doctor, Jim, Not a physicist”) but you didn’t Have to know those jokes to enjoy the movie. The students who have gone to see it have told me how much they enjoyed the movie and most didn’t know much of anything about Star Trek before.
So – check it out if you want a fun summer movie and bravo to J.J. Abrams for a job well done!
