Star Trek

Finally just watched the Star Trek movie. Wasn't really sure what to expect besides a lot of explosions from what I've seen in trailers. (I've never seen a Star Trek movie, besides a collective total of less than half an hour of Nemesis and Insurrection, and I've only ever seen a few episodes of the original series- and that would have been when I was maybe five or six years old. I did, however, watch a significant chunk of The Next Generation, Voyager and Enterprise- and liked all of them. In fact, at the point where I stopped working at the office, I was two seasons into watching all of Voyager on DVD via Netflix) It was a lot more dramatic than the TV shows generally are- is that typical for Star Trek movies?

Anyway...The characters were pretty flat: there was no character development- and no room for it either (Not to mention that I kept seeing Sylar, not Spock)- the story really wasn't that great, the movie overall had some major flaws. But I was entertained. Very entertained. It was a fun action movie, and I really liked the visual style. I wish I'd had the chance to see it in the theater, but at the time other things just kept coming up. As very flawed as I find the movie, I like it enough that I may consider picking up the DVD one of these days if I were to find it for cheap.

Yay for being entertained!

I agree. It was a pretty superficial movie but it kept me entertained.

About the only other ST movie worth watching is ST II: the Wrath of Khan. It managed to be not only entertaining but have some real plot and character to it.
