Another Movie Review - Are you Going to Go See the New Star Trek Movie?  

I'm hoping to go see it. (If you read "The Onion" online, btw, they have a hilarious video parody up right now, about Trekkies being disappointed to learn that a ST movie is actually fun and engaging--that breaks the tradition!)

I've was a huge fan of the original ST when I was a kid, and then loved New Generation just as much in the 1990s. I didn't follow the spin-offs too much after that. This is supposed to be a sort of "origins of" prequel, where we learn about the beginning of the U.S.S. Enterprise crew with the original characters (though not, of course, the original cast!). That's an intriguing enough premise to get me to pay admission.

And, as for all Science Fiction, it really is a totally different experience on the big screen, so I'm looking forward to tight action and great special effects, hopefully.

My boyfriend is taking me to see it next week, I'm not that big a Star Trek fan but I don't mind the movies. I can't help but wonder why they did a movie after all this time that is meant to be before all the others, why make a pre-qual of the characters that were in Star Trek ages before good old Captain Picard (the best captain ever!) came on the scene.

Yea, were me and my bf are going to watch it tonite (May 7) and catch the late night screening. He told me that this star trek is about before Captain Picard was older, or captain? Im still excited because I have never been dissatisfied with any star trek movies and I get it because I grew up watching it (thanks to no cable i guess). Even if it is new characters I trust that it will be just as good and I didn't do my homework so I do not know who is actually producing it but my bf tells me that the critics gave it a thumbs up and those lemon faces are a tough crowd these days.
