I enjoyed the movie a lot, and I'm definitely not a Star Trek fan. (My dad is kind of a Trekkie, so that's why I ended up going... but I don't regret it, I had fun :) )
My dad and I used to watch Star Trek together. Fond memories. :> I loved it up until I realized it was ANOTHER time travel star trek movie. (though I guess this one made more sense than the whale movie...) And that was sort of a killjoy for me. But I still looooved it. It was quite shiny and pretty. Plus it had Anton Yelchin and Simon Pegg in it. So that seals the deal.
lol! my friend Angela and I were watching one of the classic episodes in the downtime we had in our classes today. It was awesome.
Yeah that kind of ruined it a little, and I'm not really sold on Uhura hooking up with Spock 8/ her and Kirk would have made a little more sense imo *Shrug shrug* I'd see it again though 8D
Yeah, it annoyed me that Abrams basically took everything that was canon and threw it out the window because he didnt feel like working within its constraints or whatever. And the only relationship Uhura and Spock had in the original was her seeing him as a mentor. So yeah, it had me going "...what now?" :\
Before the movie, I've seen a couple Star Trek episodes, but they seemed really weird and I didn't understand what was going on. At all. Watching the movie made me ask "why didn't I actually watch the series before?" and prompt me to do research and seek out episodes online. (Thank you Hulu and STC!)
Though I never knew the characters, I thought the cast did a great job of portraying them and made the original cast proud. The storyline was amazing and it really drew in new fans, but it still kept the old fans loyal. It's very rare when I want to see a movie in theaters twice; the last time this occurred was the remake of Phantom of the Opera. Now it's going to happen again with this movie. =D
(Like many, I'm totally against Spock/Uhura. Kirk/Spock FTW!)
