Ok so you probably all saw this already and will all shout OLD at me but I don't care (ner ner nee ner ner) I went to see it yesterday and OMG ...ROX!!
For those of you who haven't seen it yet I can honestly say as a lifelong Trekkie it was all I'd hoped for and did not disappoint in any aspect.
it had everything, the crew, monsters, brain slugs, evil romulans who have dastardly plans, romance, laughter, cheese, excitement, sad bits...just the whole caboodle tbh.
The cast were all perfect and I was especially impressed by the dude they picked to play Bones McCoy, he was awesome, even though he is only young he had the gruff old codger bit down to a tee, simon pegg as scotty was fantastic and I really felt he was having a whale of a time (especially when he was running through engineering yelling things about giving it all she can and dylithium crystals. The chap who plays Kirk was great, even did the slow...halting...speech followed by fasterspeechthat...kirk...is famousfor and my god they all looked the part too! I have to say i was a bit unsure of silar as spok but he came through aces, the whole thing was just pure enjoyment for me (except the bit that made me cry, but even that was good!).
I really hope they do some more of these movies with this cast, if this first one is anything to go by then the franchise shall indeed live long and prosper!
