I went to see it in IMAX today. My brother and I (51 and 52) and three guys I work with (27, 26 and 23)
We all thought it was great fun, and a welcome change. Mind you, I have not gone to a theater in...well, I simply cannot remember. But I enjoyed it immensely.
I know there were probably people walking out of the theater arguing “No way he could have done that, if they (INSERT SCENE FROM MOVIE HERE)...”
It was fluff and entertainment. I want something that is more real, I will watch “Band of Brothers” or something like that. And people will nitpick that.
I though McCoy was perfect...Sulu, was, well...NOT Sulu (THANK GOD) and Spock was well done.
I DO NOT watch television, cannot stomach it, and haven’t watched in years, and am a moviephile (Favorite Movie: “The Best Years of Our Lives”) so does my review help?
Go ahead...it was fun!
Thanks. Star Trek was my favorite TV show during its first run, but I’m not much on ‘canon’.
However, I suspect the ‘misfit is a hero’ plot will drive me nuts, since Capt Kirk was NOT a misfit. He merely believed what I was taught in OTS: Regulations are made for the guidance of the wise, and strict adherence of fools.
