Star Trek

I saw the new Star Trek movie yesterday. I liked it!!!

This changes everything for Star Trek films. You see, there's this rule:

Every even numbered Star Trek movie is good and every odd numbered one is not so good.


Star Trek: The Motion Picture = Long and boring at parts


Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan = Sweet!


Star Trek III: The Search for Spock = Meh...


Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home = A fun time had by all!


Star Trek V: The Final Frontier = Absolutely Abysmal


Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country = Thrilling!!


Star Trek: Generations = Mediocre


Star Trek: First Contact = Action packed!


Star Trek: Insurrection = Lame (actually I loved it, but most people didn't)

And this is where everything changed


Star Trek: Nemesis

The Tenth movie. There was a lot of hype, especially because it was an even numbered Star Trek film. But it SUCKED!!!! It was so awful. Not only do they destroy the Enterprise again, but they also stole the ending from The Fellowship of the Ring where the bad guy gets speared and he pulls himself up the spear to give one final scream or something.


So now, the Eleventh Star Trek film is here, and it is amazing!

The characters were so good. Bones was my favorite. Loved Kirk and Spock. Not sure what was going on with Uhura. Thought Scotty was a little ridiculous. Liked Chekov. Sulu was okay. Nero was pretty much a lame villain, oh well. I'm really looking forward to seeing where they go with this series next!

One more thing:
I've been going to matinees for a really long time. Most of the time it's me and 3 other people in the theatre. This is the first time I've ever walked into a midweek matinee and saw at least 50 people! What the heck?!?
