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.

Yeah. I know what you mean. I had a bit of the same thing that made me tear up at the beginning though. *SPOILER FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVEN'T SEEN* I guess it was Kirk's wife giving birth and the bad guy's wife being pregnant and losing one of the partner's and me and Kiwi being in a position where that could happen makes me squeamish/empathetic.
