Andrew and I went to see the new Star Trek movie yesterday. Overall, I was very pleased with the way the writers worked the current plot into the former Star Trek history by using the alternate reality idea. They kept the action coming so that you didn’t question the plot too much. Although I can’t help but wonder WHY a pregnant woman would be on a star fleet ship, or WHY an angry Romulan hellbent on revenge with the capacity to go back in time wouldn’t just bring his wife back instead of destroying all Federation planets. But I guess that doesn’t make for a very exciting movie. Plus, Kirk is pretty damned lucky, as in the old series, but the movie did highlight some of his genius by pitting him against Spock’s simulated test.

Very fun and satisfying, overall though!
Enjoy,
