i just saw star trek

it's EVERYTHING it's supposed to be. it far outshines any and everything i've seen so far. of course i realize the special effects had a LOT to do with everything and with each passing year they just get better and better. i'm not one to go to the mega-cinema-one-too-effing-many, BUT i decided to go to the 1:10 pm showing. i get out of work early on friday, so i figured what the hell. i knew it wouldn't be crowded and it wasn't. only about 10 or 12 of us. i sat in the back row with my medium lemonade and twizlers. the ticket and beverage and candy came to $12.00. i don't know how much the movie was on it's own.

i also am generally NOT a fan of the mega-block buster movie. i'm more a snob leaning toward the foreign or indie. well of course star trek is always going to be an exception. please don't get me started, because i could and would go on and on and on. i didn't want to go because i knew i'd cry. and yes, i did cry. but i didn't care. the movie had everything. romance (light), humor, villans, heroes, elders, warp speed, transporters, phasers, the enterprise (the FIRST one), humans, aliens. it kept me wrapped up from absolute beginning to absolute end. wait a minute. i take that back. the movie was missing ONE thing. the voice of the computer; majel of course i believed them all. the characters were fairly well rounded and developed. make no mistake. this is a kirk and spock movie. the others were just the icing. even so, they were main parts of the story and you DID see how their (older) characters developed from the young 'uns. i had to wait soooooooooooo long to see scotty but it was damn worth it. yeah, when there was that shot of the crew on the bridge, i welled up AGAIN. i can't and won't tell you about the plot except to say a couple of things. those rogue romulans are mean muthas AND IF THERE IS ONLY ONE THING YOU LEARN in this life or the next one.............. NEVER and i mean NEVER MESS WITH JAMES TIBERIUS KIRK, SPOCK, SULU, CHEKOV, UHURA, BONES AND SCOTTY. just effing DON'T. star trek official site star trek imdb
