Star Trek - It All Really Happened, Didn't It?

I am not going to review Star Trek. It’s hard to review Star Trek without spoiling anything and there’s not a whole lot I can say about it that hasn’t already been said. It’s good. It’s as good as I could hope for. I believe when the credits rolled I thought to myself “that was delicious.” What I want to touch on is that they were able to pull off a re-imagining of the story that was more than 100% faithful to the original. If you want to know how they did it, go buy a ticket. It’s worth a few frozen pizzas, I assure you. The homages to the original were great. When Simon Pegg screams “I’m giving her all she’s got captain,” everyone laughs, but it absolutely fits. Eric Bana is an excellent villain. I didn’t even know it was him until the credits rolled. And to completely steal what was said on The Totally Rad Show, Chris Pine is on his way to being this generation’s Harrison Ford. His Kirk was spot on. He’s at home with the humor and the action bits as well. Go see it and enjoy it.
