Star Trekkin'!

I went to the new Star Trek film yesterday and it was good!  Everyone should go see it, whether a previous fan or not.

Storyline was reasonable.  For Star Trek.  ^_^  It was even a semi-logical ret-con.  The opening was amazing and made me and my friend both sniffle and go teary over the sheer heroism.
Kirk was all right; still not going on my list of favorites any time soon, but not terribly annoying.  Mini-Spock was adorable, though I could see years of psychiatric treatment coming out of his childhood if Vulcans went into that sort of thing.  (Mini-Kirk was a twerp.)  Seeing Spock shoot down the high muckamucks at the Science Academy was very satisfying.  Hm...McCoy was generally yay and his grand scheme for getting Kirk aboard the Enterprise was hilarious.  I had forgotten that Sulu fenced...  Chekhov!  So cute!  All curls and accent and cleverness!  Definitely my favorite.  Oooh, Scotty, I hadn't known that Nicholas Angel, sorry, Simon Pegg was playing him.  It was awesome.  ^_^
Story was pretty strong and had some really cool bits.  It was awesome to see Mr. Nimoy.

McCoy, Sulu and especially Chekhov made that movie for me. I knew they'd make sure they had a good Kirk and Spock - I was worried that they'd be less bothered about my favourite nerdlier three - but they got them so awesome! Particularly Chekhov :D
