Just WOW! - Star Trek
Went in to see it tonight. Theater was packed but we had advance tickets and got there 45 minutes ahead of time.
The people playing Kirk, Spock, Bones, McCoy, Scotty, Uhuru, Sulu and Chekov absolutely nailed their roles.
A good plot, the scene with Spock graduating from the Vulcan Science Academy was really well written -- a lot of interplay with very few words. The time travel was handled without paradox. They got in a lot of the in-jokes -- Kirk bedding the green chick, the gratuitous new guy in the red uniform dying on the away team, the Dammit Jim line -- without sounding forced.
And yes, they did not get the Enterprise right -- I understand that the insides need to be updated but they could have left the outside the same and not affected the plot or story arc at all.
They had a fun appearance by an
AirTrax fork lift in one scene (these things are seriously cool).
This is one that must be seen on the large screen if you are at all interested.
