lol.
I was VERY confused as I had seen a recent blurb of an ep from the original series, and Spock, Bones, and Kirk were hanging out with both of Spock's parents, so she simply couldn't be dead!
They's smart, they is.
I really liked it. But... but... they totally killed the canon. And I'm glad they at least did it in a way that makes the old canon and the new canon both count.
A plot problem:
WHY DID SPOCK STAY IN A CAVE ON THAT ICY PLANET WHEN HE COULD HAVE WALKED TO THE STARFLEET OUTPOST FOR HELP JEEBUS CHRIMMAS YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SMART, SPOCKY!!
Also, I am SQUEEEEING over the Spock romance. Don't wanna say who in case anybody reading comments hasn't seen it yet. BUT SQUEEEEE.
I thought it was hilarious, with the whole "I have no comment" sort of statement he said to Kirk after the kiss.
My favorite was when the nerds were watching the credits and were like "Wynnona Ryder was in it. Where?" and I'm like duuuuuuuuuuuuuuh Spock's MOM!
I think the beginning was done really well, but for whatever reason it annoyed me that Cameron from House was Kirk's mom. Maybe because I can ONLY see her as Cameron.
Did you think it had a touch of the WB or CW type show to it? I thought it kind of did.
And omg I totally thought Ahura was Jada Pinket Smith or whatever, but it wasnnnnn't. At least that explains why my brain kept going "she looks really good. wow she looks young!" because it wasn't herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
And we thought that the Romulen ship looked a lot like a ship from another sci-fi series, but we couldn't place it. ideas?
And yes I probably spelled a ton of names wrong, but I'm not a true Trekky so I can get away with it.
As I said, I walked away from it wishing it were on TV every week again, because it had everything that was awesome about Trek and none of the stuff that made my brother make fun of it and was kinda right about.
But, you know, even with that mission going the way he did, you don't go straight from cadet to captain. That's too big a thing for me to just let go. His only command experience was that one mission, and cheating on Kobayashi-Maru.
Also, Chekov = Wesley but nobody hates him.
I thought about the truthfulness about the first statement about spoilers - so many shows that I want to watch more of and LOVE, I haven't seen past the first season and haven't watched in forever: Lost, Heroes, BSG, etc.
But Pike had faaaaaaith in him! Or something.
I really had a problem with the lack of women. Once. Again. Trek had always been "progressive" for its time, but it had lol flaws, so I was hoping to see them made up for in the revamp. True Uhura got to be brilliant, but she was still wearing the goddamn miniskirt. And of course, Spock's mom went into the fridge with many other ladies of sci-fi. It could've used some more dynamic portrayals of women outside of A) lover or B) mom.
OMG, NEED MORE SULU. He came in waving swords and kicking ass... then took a backseat the remainder of the movie.
I was thinking about the whole women thing, too, but the movie was very good at distracting me from thinking TOO much about it with all its shiny and flashing lights.
Urban was channeling McCoy's ghost, he was so good. Scotty needs to have a drink and stop trying so hard.
Mmm, drink.
one more time: SULU!!! I hope this means he'll get to be a member of more away teams now that he's officially a badass.
alright.
And I actually thought Scotty was done very well.
I understand the need for the reboot / alternate reality, but someday can we PLEASE have a star trek flick that isn't about time travel? kthx.
And the bit with Chekov and the v / w sounds? priceless.
Fun, but fluffy -- I would like more sci fi, frankly. Looking forward to what they do with it next, though.
I love that they took out Vulcan; that will change the trek world in all sorts of big fun ways, I bet.
Does the fact that I have been slowly watching eps in a timeline starting with Enterprise count as being a sort of a Trek fan BEFORE the movie release? ;)
I kept waiting for the movie to right itself and it took a bit for it to click as to WHAT they were doing. When it did, IT WAS BRILLIANT.
Talking about this MOVIE makes me use CAPSLOCK SO MUCH MORE than what is socially appropriate.
Need to see it again.
