loobeeJust got back from watching Star Trek and I have to spaz before I go to bed but I loved it ♥
*SPOILERS* You know I'm a blabber mouth ^^
Some bits had me scratching my head, much like you said Moontyger, the bad science leaves a lot to be desired, Red matter????? WTF. And the plot is a little meh in some places; they could have gone a bit more into the Vulcan’s story for a start. And okay they broke the universe and twisted it on its head but maybe they did that to diverge away from the original source and do something a bit different for those who analyse the Star Trek universe so much. Also Uhura and Spock snogging is a ‘where the hell did that come from moment?’
James Kirk (Chris Pine) was awesome, dare I say like many a girl I think I’ve fallen for him, it’s the freckles and eyes I swear. And to Alex who was worried about seeing Shattner, seriously he makes the role his own, he’s funny, charming and a real rogue. He’s masochistic to be sure, never have I seen anyone in a movie get the shit kicked out of them so much, I died laughing.
Spock (Zachary Quinto) was great, even if I wish they had made him slowly be more human rather than the sudden turn from logic he has. I wish they had more Kirk/Spock moments too, yeah I’m an old K/S slash girl, hush yer self we all have to start somewhere, and I may go back to it ♥ Simon Pegg as Scotty was adorable but then again I do adore Mr Pegg. He just added a lot of lightness and fun as always. I loved Dr Mccoy too, but sometimes felt Karl Urban was trying too hard to be DeForest Kelley and not make the part his own, but he is a great in his friendship with Kirk, his fear of illness and still has that whole misunderstanding of Spock I find hilarious.
In fact the whole cast was just really good in my opinion.
Stoked to bit’s they had Pike in it and not in a stupid flashing trolley this time, everyone forgets the first captain ;_;
I do recommend watching it; it really does bring back new life into the stories, even my non Trekkie sister loved it. And at least it broke the odd number curse this time XD
Okay I’ll stop spazing and beaming and go crash as I’m knackered. God I'm such a geek ;_; I just know I'll have to buy the blooming figures now *rollseyes*
