Seriously? You sound...confused. "Awesome and sort of stupid"?? People visit sites such as this to see if other people ENJOYED the film they want to see. Your review, and indeed your attitude, are not helpful in the slightest. If you didn't like it, that's fine. But explain why! And try to think things through before you commit them to publication.

I have been a die-hard Trekker since I was tiny (the horror of seeing my hero Spock die when I was so young!) and I admit the new movie made me pause. I was not thrilled at the idea.

When I saw it the first time, my friend had to slap his hand across my mouth to prevent me from constantly muttering, "That's not canon." However, I did my research and read up on Mr. Abram's concepts and watched it again. This time with eyes wide open. What a difference! The actors are beyond talented, the story actually moves me, and what are you all saying about the score? When I heard the music the first time, especially "Enterprising Young Men", I was captivated. And I was a music major, so I'm pretty picky about music.

Overall, I have to say in my ever-so-humble opinion the franchise is in excellent hands; Mr. Roddenberry can rest well. The newest movie was delightful and I am on pins and needles for the second! Standing ovation for all involved--cast, production staff, crew, musicians, everyone!
