Star Trekkin

I just got back home from seeing the new Star Trek movie. I fully expected to and wanted to HATE the new movie. Why? Because of the revamping and re imagining of the classic TV series. The Romulan Bad guy goes back in time some 120 years and totally chops up the star trek timeline. Killing James Kirks father , Blowing up Vulcan thus killing Mr. Spock's mother , so Mr.Spock could feel the same pain the Villain Nero felt when His Home planet was destroyed.

I liked the movie Spock's and Kirks origins were interesting . The Villain Nero was likable as villains go. Spock was pretty much like that guy you meet at work, a real jerk when you first meet him but as time goes by he's your best friend . The movie was action packed and enjoyable.

Now here's where I nit pick some Small things that bothered me. First off did the Gillette company go bankrupt in the 24Th century. Nero had this Miami Vice stubble beard going . The Vulcan's including Spock had Five-O-Clock shadow. And Kirk and McCoy looked like they need a shave. Also. The star fleet uniforms reminded me of Hockey Jerseys. I fully expected Chekhov to walk by with a hockey stick in his hand.

Casting for the movie was great in my opinion. Eric Bana as Nero the Villan ,I liked. Zachary Quinto as Spock and the rest of the cast was selected well. JJ Abrams Did a fine job and gave the film the right attitude ****
