Oh my gosh you guys, I LOVED this movie.  It was beyond awesome and I’m not a Trekkie/Trekker.  I’ve watched a smattering of TNG (The Next Generation) and I have never seen a Star Trek movie so I went into this with very little background.  Of course I’ve heard of Captain Kirk and Spock.  Who hasn’t.  But I don’t know their characters or personalities and my viewing experience wasn’t lacking in the least.

The story begins before Spock or Kirk join the Federation.  They are both living separate lives and doing totally contrary things but are then forced together on an awesome adventure.

The special effects in this movie are breath taking because it’s all made up.  They are fighting battles in space on ships that don’t exist.  It’s incredible.

I remember Scott read a review from a Trekkie/Trekker who was complaining about the film because it was “accessible and humorous.”  How funny is that?  They were right though.  The movie is totally accessible.  You don’t need to know anything going into it except that it’s fabulous.

Perfect date night movie for me but I like the action stuff myself.  I highly recommend this movie.  It’s not too geeky.  It gets you going from the opening scene.  Man, I love Summer movies!!

Anyone else catch it this weekend?
