Star Trek: Capsule Review

Liked it. A lot.

Stealing a line from Wil Wheaton, if all reboots were done this well, geeks wouldn't respond to reboots with the venom that they do.

For an old-school "lapsed catholic" Trekkie like myself, it was really a kick to see Trek given an actual A-List treatment (and budget).

My only real complaint about the movie was that it has, possibly, the worst astrophysics of any science fiction movie I've ever seen.

Also, it needed a Wil Wheaton cameo.

I loved the new star trek movie. When I used to watch the TV show back home in Colton I would always hope they would phaser somebody but blowing up things was not a weekly event. With the movie they did it right and blew up a lot of things. I loved the scene where they jumped into all the blown up ships and had to manuever around. One of the best scenes had to be diving down to the drill head and having Sulu save the day with his fencing skills! - Big Casino
