Pleasant Surprise

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2009)

Though I am only 33 I do love the original Star Trek. I practically cursed the making of this movie. I was afraid that like so many other remakes they would dishonor the original. My curiosity was heightened by the summary on this very site and so I took the plunge and went to see it on big screen. I am glad I did and I hope others will follow. The original show was limited to three seasons. The redemption came when they started doing the movies. Along with the original Star Trek I enjoy Next Generation and Voyager. I was, although, disappointed with the last season of Voyager. There were always parts of the original crews life that were mentioned but went no further - for example, the test that Kirk took three times or where Bones got that designation. I was shocked when I saw Eric Bana. At first I was wondering when he was going to show and then I realized I was looking at him. The Uhura and Spock thing was the biggest surprise of all. Well done guys and girls.
