Star Trek
« on: May 10, 2009, 11:09:20 AM »
My son and I saw the new Star Trek film yesterday. It is an excellent re-imagining of of the original Star Trek TV series and has certainly restarted the franchise which had got more than a little stale. The story bowls along at a very rapid pace with superb special effects covering and excusing the usual plot holes and some of the most amazing coincidences.

The actors have well captured the personalities and feel of the younger versions of the characters, especially Zachary Quinto as Spock and Karl Urban as 'Bones'.

All in all, great fun.

Maybe it's your affinity for bladed objects but for some reason I had an image of you having a Klingon costume in the back of your wardrobe Miss D.  whistle:

Excellent have been waiting for a review I could trust! I didn't want to go if it was going to ruin the original series for me!

Think of it as a "parallel universe" version.

scaryduck has a great synopsis of the film - scroll down to May 14.


DO NOT LOOK IF YOU DON'T WANT THE PLOT SPOILED.
