Space, the final frontier...

"These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before."

I just saw the new movie yesterday. in a word, awesome. I went with my sister (who used to watch the original series with me in the last century) & my son (who's never seen a single trek related movie, tv episode, etc). we all loved it. the theatre applauded when the film ended. it was tense. the character development was great. the FX were top notch. acting was great.

you don't have to be a trekkie to enjoy it, although getting some of the history probably adds to one's geeky enjoyment (like knowing what the "kobayashi maru" is). the story is a prequel to the original series & follows the coming together of the original crew, & even includes capt. pike (again, another geeky pleasure dating back to the pilot episode, but not nec.).

go see this. enjoy. live long & prosper.
