Star Trek Options

[Aaron]

Really good movie. I can't call it 'great' until I see it more than once.

I'm fairly into Star Trek - seen all the movies, all of the TV series - but have never gone to conventions, dressed up as a Romulan or learned Klingon.

I think the casting was superb, all of the main characters were cast perfectly.

There were a few things in the movie that struck me, as a Star Trek fan, oddly, but it didn't take away from the movie.

I felt at first like the main villain was underused, more something to move the story along than anything else, but then I recognized that the main conflict in this movie is between Kirk and Spock, not Good Guys vs. Villain.

I'll be seeing it again this weekend.

I'm going to venture into spoiler territory here, so if you haven't seen the movie and wish to remain pure go ahead and skip this.









Things are different because of the alternate timeline created when the Narada and Spock's ship went through the anomaly. From that point, beginning with the destruction of the Kelvin, events began to unfold differently.

The only thing that I'm not exactly sure that alternate timeline deal explains away is the relationship between Spock and Uhura. But it isn't something that I'm up in arms about.
