*sigh*
You people are going to make me see this aren’t you?
I’ve been dead-set on not seeing it since I first heard about the project. I was drawing a line. I’d been progressively disappointed with everything Star Trek for years. “The line must be drawn here. No further.”
I can stand not seeing a movie of a type I have no real interest in when it gets lots of positive remarks. I’ll probably never see the latest Batman movie.
But this is Star Trek. *Sigh*
:grabbing Neil’s shoulders, shaking:
IT’S BETTER THAN WRATH OF KHAN.
BLACK HOLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!!!!
No sound to explosions in space, modified tachyon bursts are not cosmic Swiss Army Knives, and there’s no reason for anybody to be paralyzed or sans limbs in a world that has transporters with pattern buffers.
And, no, black holes do not work that way. 🙂
While I found the Kirk/Spock romantic subplot to be both ponderous and predictable, I was genuinely surprised and moved by their take on the Uhura/Nurse Chapel relationship. After the withering commentary in ‘Galaxy Quest’ about token female characters, I enjoyed Uhura finally getting some much needed development.
The Uhura thing was inspired. And I can’t wait for enough people to see the film so that we can all *talk* about it.
