Watch It: Star Trek

I absolutely friggin' had to see the new Star Trek movie at the opening show. I was surprised by the lack of costumes (I mean...even the opening of Firefly had costumes) but thrilled at the movie.

Here's my SPOILERtastic writeup ...which I did during the movie (so pardon the short squee-ish sentences.)

TRAILERS!!

Inglorious Bastards - lotsa Quentin talkie. BJ Novak from Office as killer? Whaaa?

Terminator - hottie bfriend Christian. Machines taking human prisoners? Didn't they cover this on Sarah Connor Chronicles?

GI Joe - Sienna is smokin'! But Tatum is prettier. Kinda miss old school american hero vibe.

UP -Funny every time I see it!! SQUIRREL! Why didn't I invest in Pixar?

Land of the Lost - boob joke? really? come on!

Transformers - oooh, new trailer! What's up with Megan? clothes please? Flag count in Michael Bay trailer = 1. Restrained? Coulda used more Josh Duhamel.

MOVIE STARTS!
Sweet, ship scene!
Jim's Papa in charge of dire sitch. "Heart rate elevated" - no shit!
Hmmmm....smells like time travel. Done well in many ST TV eps already.
Crap - autopilot NEVER works when you need it!
Big eyed alien chick OBGYN is too freaky for words.
Why can't you beam out Jim's Papa?? Whyyyyyyy?
Crap. Crying.
The future still has Beastie Boys??? Sweet.
Gratuitous Nokia Ad.
What is up with his kid's hair? Dye job issues.
Planet Vulcan!
Spock in major smack down!!
No one gets to 'yo mama' spock's mama!
Teen years.
Must let go of creepy Sylar bias.
Holy crap is that Winona Ryder as Spock's mom??
Uhura!!!
Damnit, I'm a doctor! YAY classic line!! Great intro.
3 years later...
San Francisco! Shout out!!!
Gorgeous Starfleet headquarters.
Loving Spock vs Kirk.
THE ENTERPRISE!!!
Takes your breath away.
John Cho!
Kirk with ham hands - hilarious!
Romulans have giant red ball.
JJ Abrams has hard-on for giant red ball (Alias shoutout!)
Yay for John Cho fencing! Go Cho Go!
Mid air beam me up? Sweet!
Why uber logical Vulcans chillin' during an earthquake?
Spock + Uhura? Shoulda seen it coming! So many clues! AGH!
JJ Message: This is a NEW reality. Chill die hards.
LIVE LONG & PROSPER!!!!!!!! Crowd goes wild.
SET PHASES TO STUN!!!! Crowd freaking!
Drowning in fan love!!

And that's where I ran out of paper. Hopefully, if you read this, you've already seen it. But if you haven't - go! GO GO GO!

ROFLMAO. I loved it - though disappointed in you for taking any attention off of the movie. *sigh* what am I going to do with you? Obviously I have to take you to go see it again - THE PROPER WAY.

LMAO! You wrote this while watching? Hella multi-tasker! I may have to link you on my blog because no review I could dream of writing will ever be as cool as this blog.

-This was AWESOME.
-Spock aka Syler stole the show. He was an awesome Spock. Super nod to Nimoy.
-WTF with aging Winona Ryder instead of getting an actress the right age to play the part?
-How beautiful and un-obvious blue screen was our first look at the enterprise?
-"Did you leave the parking break on?"
-I want to jump Bones' bones. SEXY! He was perfect, perfect, perfect!
-Zulu kicked ass.
-Bana as Nero - wow.
-Scotty was the perfect comic relief. I want a gargoyle alien.
-"So her first name is..." "I have no comment." LMAO!
-I still chuckle when I say, "inwisible".

I do not really like old Star Trek and not a fan of next generation Star Trek, but I am on track to like NEW GENERATION Star Trek. We'll probably see it this week.

Loved your post! Loved the movie! Star Trek forever, baby, with this franchise. Go J.J. - genius man. Uhura/Spock - perfect!!!!! Jim with blow up hands - too funny. Loved the humour and loved that Jim got beat up so much - but what a pretty face to beat up. Sigh.

Must see it again.
