I’m so excited about this that I’m posting early about it. I booked our tickets for the IMAX showing a couple of weeks ago and the reviews I trust are starting to come in and they’re all positive. But let’s face it loads of people would go regardless (look at Wolverine for example).
I suppose my Star Trek journey has been a long and twisty one. The only comparison I have is Star Wars but it’s not the same, I’ve liked Star Wars more intensely but I suppose that’s to do with there being less of it. With Star Trek you can literally watch it for days, or read about it. It has one of those immensely fiddly worlds with a need for continuity, things that happen that take you away from it’s self perpetuating continuity must be explained.
I started with the Original series repeats on BBC2 they used to be on just before dinner was ready and progressed on to next generation, deep space nine and voyager. Now Virgin 1 is showing everything too and it’s wonderful to dip into.
Enterprise was a bold step, and I think it’s still improving but I just want the Xindi thing to be resolved already.

The film was amazing! Just great, loved pretty much every minute. We’ll probably go and see it again.
Casting was great. I was worried about Simon Pegg in it but he pulled it off, ‘Sylar’ was great as Spock and Chris Pine was a good Kirk.
Phil Plait has done a blogpost about the science of it. Reviews wise there’s millions of them out there, not even sure if i’ve seen a bad one! Empire Magazine Review.
Metacritic Score 84/100
