Star Trek.

I have, of course, seen the new Star Trek movie. If you haven't, shame on you. If you have, I'd love to hear your thoughts.



Overall, I quite enjoyed it. Surprisingly, my least favorite character was the Spock figure (new, not the old). Though I had been quite excited about Quinto playing the role as he appeared to be quite similar, naturally, he annoyed me the most. There seemed to be a petulance about him. Perhaps it's the small, tight, pursed lips. Perhaps it's the slightly whiny sound to his voice. Perhaps it's the actors very slight, but evident, speech impediment. Whatever it was, it didn't strike me as the cool, logical Spock that i grew up with ... and I missed it. All the other characters were different in their own way, but I liked them. McCoy and Scotty were particular favorites.
