I went to see Star Trek yesterday, in the premiere day. Well, I liked it. One of the bad things was that it was in spanish (due to the stupid idea that as it was qualified as unrestricted small kids wouldn't be able to read it, nonsense, it isn't a movie for kids, but well...) They reworked the entire Trek universe and with a big destruction of the old universe, like killing George Kirk at the same time as James Kirk born or destroying Vulcan... hard to see how our conception of the Federation will follow with that thing, but... also the idea of the Enterprise as a new ship without story, as we all trekkers know it have a long story behind, with captain April and captain Pike before Kirk, and also this Enterprise that looks more modern than the movies Enterprise... one of the really flaw things of the movie was the constant movement of the camera, that makes difficult to put in focus in the action and well, it never stops, not even for a minute! I enjoyed the role of Mc Coy, also Scotty (yeah, with some flaw comedy with that little alien, but as long it will not become another Jar Jar Binks it's okay) and the rest of the cast is wonderful, the young Spock is superb and Kirk looks more irreverent than you can accept at first, but the change in the end is wonderful... also the young Uhura looks gorgeous, wonderful legs, even if she doesn't show them enough
well, I hate that mania of change beginnings and rewrite the born of characters but I can say they did mostly right this time...
Live Long and Prosper!
