May it live long and prosper. I’m not a Trekkie. My mom is and I make fun of her for it, well that is until I watched Star Trek, the latest film, something of a reboot of the franchise, by J.J Abrams. First, I love J.J. Abrams, he takes sci-fi and situates into the realm of reality flawlessly (for the most part) and he never fails in creating emotional attachment between the viewer and the characters. Chris Pine as the new Captain Kirk is smexy and rugged, Zachary Quinto as Spock is awesome, Zoe Saldana as Uhura is gorgeous, John Cho as Sulu is the bomb and everyone Simon Pegg, Karl Urban, Anton Yelchin, Eric Bana…GOLD. J.J as director makes my life worth living. Haha, an overstatement but this movie has restored my faith in the Hollywood blockbuster. (My faith had left completely after seeing the mess that was Wolverine).
Great acting, great direction, great music (though a tad overused), great special effects, great sound design, greats use of lens flares, of all things. Great movie. I’ll write a proper review when I’m not fangirling.
For now here’s a HILARIOUS interview with Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and an uber Star Trek fan.
