only going forward, and things are getting worse

Celebrated my apparent return to something vaguely resembling actual health (yay antibiotics!) by taking myself off to see the new Star Trek this morning. Um.

See, this film has generated a lot of buzz, and various trekkoids of varying degrees of frothing fandom have been fairly positive about it, and said it feels like Star Trek. Only problem is

I enjoyed star trek.
Before I saw it I heard 2 opinions:
1) "It sucks, it's sort-of star trek but mainstream, not for trekkies"
2) "It was really good, like star trek but a real film"

Make of that what you will.
PS: See you next week?

Yes, I'm a bit miffed because I expected to enjoy it a lot more than I did. I'm usually very forgiving of plot holes and bad science if it's a fun film, but it clearly wasn't fun enough to suspend my disbelief. Sigh. I'll have to see what the Wolverine movie does to me.

Had forgotten you were incoming! yes, must definitely get together. Let me know your time frames and free evenings etc.

Dates are here. Most evenings are free.

The Wolverine director was an interesting choice...come along way from his days on "the Game". I was wondering if perhaps Mr Hood might take himself a little too seriously...but I had enjoyed Rendition and so wasn't going to hold his "serious" nature against him.

I thought he did really well with Wolverine (but then I suppose I had low expectations after the last X-men film)...you got to see it just for this time lapse thingamy that he did at the begining which.... was awesome!
