Star Trek

Going to watch the new movie right after work today. Will update/edit with what I thought of it.

Okay it was friggin awesome. Go see it, the best movie I have seen in awhile. They have done some cool things to make you change the way you look at the original Star Trek series. Also Simon Pegg steals every scene he is in, does a wonderful job as Scotty.

Please do, but don't give anything away ;)

My father and I have seen almost every Star Trek movie together, it's a tradition.

Simon Pegg did, indeed, steal every scene and does a great job with the accent.

However, he's followed closely by Karl Urban - his 'Bones' is awesome.

Overall I thought it was a great reboot and it bodes well for the future movies.

Agreed on Urban. He had the look and pacing right when talked.

Yes, I can't wait to see future movies.

Looked a lot like Star Wars to me sometimes, but when you ignore those scenes it was nice

@Anna...

BLASPHER!! HERITIC!! BURN HER!!!

...I'll reserve actual serious argument after I see the movie ;)

@Anna, it had a tinge of Star Wars too it, the space battle scenes were more Star Wars than the old Star Trek style where they stood toe to toe and shot at each other.

I don't remember where I saw this, but I do like how they used the ship's lasers as defense, firing on the incoming torpedoes. I had often wondered why they didn't do this in previous shows and movies.

When I say, "I don't remember where I saw this," I meant I saw someone else mention using the lasers for defense finally.
