Star TrekStarring: No one important (except Leonard Nimoy - the original Spock)
Directed by: J.J. Abrams (Creator of Lost, Alias & Felicity)
What it's About:
A chronicle of the early days of James T. Kirk and his fellow USS Enterprise crew members. A pre-qual that starts during Kirk & Spock's childhood and follows them through schooling and their first days on the USS Enterprise.
Micah's Take: Good (enough) It is no Dark Knight!
Kim's Take: Egh (with a shoulder shrug) -It ain't no Batman Begins!
Our Take: Originally Kim was NOT into this movie at all - She's never seen a Star Trek episode or movie and life was fine. But it was touted as a Star Trek that everyone would enjoy so we decided to give it a try. It was decent. Not great - Not horrible. Some cool special effects and the music/sound design was great. We enjoyed the insight into learning about Spock and Kirk's back story and their early relationship.
Better Left on the Cutting Room Floor:
A lot of annoying intentional flares & glares - we get it...they are in space, by the sun & it is bright - but come on. And Micah was extremely irate about Kirk chewing an apple during a simulated test.
It's A Wrap
