As a self-proclaimed trekker (NOT trekkie), I LOVED the new movie. It was careful to stay true to the original (which I know from the movies, but not much from the original series), yet created a universe from which the franchise can build on again.
I could tell the movie was effective at reaching everyone: I’m walking out of the theater explaining the minutae of Star Trek trivia embedded in the new film to my wife (who doesn’t care that much but is gracious to me), and the girl behind me remarks, “I liked the movie. Captain Kirk’s hot.”
Spring semester is over now, so I’m going to have a little more free time to write on here. Stay tuned!
