Have been wanting to go see the J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movie in theaters. Used to watch the original series when I was a kid quite a bit. I'm not a total "Trekkie" or anything, and I probably have seen some of the movies over the years (and never got into Generations). So in order to prepare myself, I thought I'd rent one of the movies to get psyched up. Did some searches to find out Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is supposedly the best. Phuck me with a phaser... that movie blows. Twas bummed out on the franchise but decided to go see the new one anyway starring Eric Bana and Winona Ryder (who I dig) along with a bunch of noobs like Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Anton Yelchin, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg and John Cho.
Leonard Nimoy also plays a big part (and was cool) but J.J. is the star in this trek... just look at the pic above... it's awesome to look at. And the action and fun and the references are all perfect. It's got a great story that is a bit of a mindbender, and the way they handled Kirk's backstory and the foundation for his cocky attitude, genius. This movie has the tongue and cheek and has gotten rid of all the schlock... loved it... see for yourself... watch the movie trailer and read on because...
FilmBender is Funny Movie Reviews. When I walked out of the Westside Pavilion Theater in West Los Angeles -- which is a brand new, stadium seating and no-signage and super slick and futuristic theater -- I felt as if I was gliding. Like I was in the future for some reason. Down the escalator and grabbed the handle of my hybrid and the door unlocked. Pushed the start button to hear a silent engine and put the tiny lever in reverse to hear a beeping and stared into the back-up TV screen on the dash. Put the little nubbin into drive and the map came onto the screen. My mobile phone rang and the Bluetooth grabbed the connection and the caller talked through my stereo system. Gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands and pushing my foot to the floor... a serious look overcame my face, and the only thing I could say was... "Engage." Then... well... my wife told me to slow down... phuck.
