It appears in the comments...(This is my own review. It appears in the comments section because Claire was first. :-D)<br /><br />Because I liked the film, I must write about it. Such is my curse. <br /><br />I was never a <I>Star Trek</I> fan, but I've seen one of the old Shatner episodes on TV, and I'd like to check it out. <br /><br />J.J. Abrams rocks. And so does Chris Pine. James Tiberius Kirk. I just love the way that name rolls off the tongue. James Tiberius Kirk. Eric Bana is unrecognizable. Simon Pegg is the comic relief. <br /><br />I expected this film to suck. I was wrong. And I love it when I'm wrong. About movies, that is. <br /><br />And finally, a new Hollywood doctrine has been established: Sequels are dead. Prequels are the new sequels. <br /><br /><br />*some info from <A HREF="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0796366/" REL="nofollow">IMDb</A><BR><BR><BR><I>Star Trek</I>.

And 'Space' meant it involved a lot of flashy CGI. (insert fireworks here)<br /><br />Not much they could have done with the movie. Steer away from Star Trek series, and people complain; stick to it too much and people will still complain. It's a never-ending issue with any kind of adaptation. <br /><br />But in general, it was a good effort. One of the best I've seen this year. <br /><br />Live long and prosper and may the force be with you.Mykanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263582292407395566.post-37805676477978956792009-05-12T20:58:00.000+08:002009-05-12T20:58:00.000+08:00the men in black suck. humanity is sexy is todays ...the men in black suck. humanity is sexy is todays best quote - possibly the weeks best quote. dying to see this - hopefully next tuesday. xxThe Captainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190770431306020789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263582292407395566.post-80610035757286798602009-05-12T13:04:00.000+08:002009-05-12T13:04:00.000+08:00wow. so he's half-human after all. lots of fun stu...wow. so he's half-human after all. lots of fun stuff for the writers to play with then. :D i'm getting ahead of myself, but i can't imagine zachary quinto playing an emotionless character... i guess that makes him perfect for this film's take on a younger, apparently more hormonal (?) spock. hehe. :Dtinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633542881365012088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263582292407395566.post-72972697214145940682009-05-11T07:06:00.000+08:002009-05-11T07:06:00.000+08:00@stinglacson: What?

Also, watch Star Treeeeek!<br /><br />@tina:zachary quinto as spock is really worth seeing. i think i was more turned on with quinto in a spock haircut (what? haha). and re emotionless, sort of. he's half vulcan and half human, so they were toying with that idea. focusing on factors that would elicit his "human" emotions. :DClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08818546965720884854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263582292407395566.post-90357877534405176042009-05-10T19:49:00.000+08:002009-05-10T19:49:00.000+08:00actually, i haven't seen the film yet, so i shall ...actually, i haven't seen the film yet, so i shall keep my mouth shut now. :))Sting Lacsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10728085726181867621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263582292407395566.post-49817655717954566852009-05-10T15:56:00.000+08:002009-05-10T15:56:00.000+08:00but his spock looks just like sylar with a spock h...but his spock <I>looks</I> just like sylar with a spock haircut. come on. he ought to play a character with an entirely different look, at least. :))tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633542881365012088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263582292407395566.post-78988343957295523262009-05-10T02:21:00.000+08:002009-05-10T02:21:00.000+08:00haha poor zachary quinto. he will always be rememb...haha poor zachary quinto. he will always be remembered as sylar. despite having the spock haircut haha.Sting Lacsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10728085726181867621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263582292407395566.post-6364050240750713882009-05-10T01:30:00.000+08:002009-05-10T01:30:00.000+08:00i remember star trek from my childhood, but that w...i remember star trek from my childhood, but that was the star trek with captain picard in it, not kirk. so i'm not really excited about seeing young kirk and young spock, although sylar as spock is kinda freaky. ^^; i mean, isn't spock supposed to be all emotionless and crap? zachary quinto as spock has got to be something worth seeing. ^^ btw, he looks spectularly un-sylar-like in his picture in wikipedia, the one where he's wearing glasses. :D hehe.tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03633542881365012088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263582292407395566.post-48445479217519071902009-05-09T19:22:00.000+08:002009-05-09T19:22:00.000+08:00wow claire. you keep mentioning Star Wars. the tre...wow claire. you keep mentioning <I>Star Wars</I>. the trekkies will hunt you down. or stalk your blogs and send you viruses. haha.Sting Lacsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10728085726181867621noreply@blogger.com
