I finally saw it the other night. My thoughts: (spoilerz)
-I liked the idea of a reboot, (almost) neatly tying in the movie to the TOS and beyond. Almost like what Crisis did for the DC universe.
-I’m not too crazy about having Kirk portrayed as a young womanizer. It just feels icky.
-Vulcan going the way of Alderaan. Sad, but opens up new possibilities in storylines.
-Vulcan bullies. Nuff said.
Some things I’d like to see in possible sequels:
-More Kirk vs. machine. I always liked the episodes where Kirk and co. would match wits with a physically indestructable machine. (Nomad, M-5, androids, etc.) His only clear strategy is using logic to defeat said threats. In other words, only Kirk can sucessfuly convince a machine to commit suicide!
Open thread: What are your thoughts on the new Star Trek movie?
