Star Trek - AWESOME!!
For those of you who were wondering if the movie was going to be worthwhile, the answer is YES!
The actors did a great job of re-creating the original characters - special mention to Karl Urban who played a perfect McCoy. There needed to be more Scotty (Simon Pegg) and I understand the DVD will have a lot they had to cut out of the final movie release. Like fans *wouldn't* sit through a three hour Trek movie. Jeez!
I won't post any spoilers but they really really pulled out the feel of original Trek while updating the look. There's a bunch of homages to the series that fans will adore. Plus, while I'm not familiar with JJ Abrams other work, I understand that there's a bunch of shout outs to his previous creations. If you know his stuff, you can go find out if I'm right.
Finally, the friends who I saw the movie went to the Palace Kitchen afterwards with me. It's kitty-corner to the Cinerama. If you haven't eaten there it is fantastic, and for the month of may the are offering a 3 courses for $30 throughout the month of May on Sunday through Thursday. It made a perfect ending to a great night.
