Me And The Movies
May. 10th, 2009 04:17 pmWe went to see Star Trek today; I reccommend it highly.
The battles were excellent, the special effects were almost uniformly good, the characters were both true to form and fantastic, and I was at the edge of my seat. (The theater we went to actually has decent seats, too. They literally rock, always a fun plus.)
Was there a major Star Wars influence? It had a lot of the same stuff that makes me love SW, sure, but I felt it managed to be itself. Admittedly, I'm far from a hardcore Trekkie/Trekker/Whatever the fandom currently calls itself, but I do know a bit about and enjoy the shows, particularly the Original Series, and I thought that this captured its attitude really well.
So, yeah. Pulse pounding, pretty, and featuring shirtless!young!Kirk- overall I'd say this one is a winner.
Tune in next year for Lou's next Semi Annual Theater Visit!
