Star Trek

So I caught the new Star Trek film on opening night last Thursday. Then, on Sunday I went to see it again in IMAX. Now, I have plans to watch it again within the week. Needless to say, I really like the movie. I was raised watching TOS with my father and later moved on to TNG by myself. I really enjoy space and sci-fi and JJ Abrams. All of these facts about my life make me primed to heart this film a lot, and yet beyond all of that I think it is a very well made movie with wide appeal. I believe the characters are well crafted to include very interesting elements of their orginal incarnations as well as new elements brought in very well by the actors. The device used to spur the reboot is awful physics, but awesome screenwriting. Things I wished the film had and did not have include: more story for Nero, less love for Spock, fewer blatant quantum fallacies, and just a little more silliness. I was very pleased to see Leonard Nimoy join the cast and effectively give his seal of approval to the franchise. Overall, I love the movie and will catch it a few more times in the theatres. I really wish they could turn this into a TV series rather than movie franchise. We shall see. Also, this made me want them to bring back Firefly someday.
