Over the Memorial Day weekend, my husband and I went to visit my sister and her husband and 4 kids in Alabama. We had a wonderful time (we always do!). We rested, ate great food, had wonderful company, and saw the new Star Trek movie at a cool old theater. It was my first time seeing a movie in 3D. I didn't think I'd like 3D, and the extra expense always puts me off so I had avoided ever seeing a 3D movie, but it was actually pretty cool!
As for the movie itself, I *loved* it. I loved the one that came out a few years ago, too. I think the casting has just been amazing in the franchise reboot. I liked the plot of this movie better than the last one, though. There was a lot of action, which many people have listed as a criticism, but I enjoyed it. I was never bored. The characters are all so likeable. Many of my supernerd friends thought that this movie didn't feel "star trek" enough, but I disagree. I had a great time and thought it put an interesting twist on the old Star Trek without just crapping on the whole history. I thought it was fairly clever, and I especially loved Benedict Cumberbatch. He's just so much fun to watch (and listen to). I don't really use a consistent rating scheme or anything, but I would arbitrarily give it a 5 out of 5. Not because it's that perfect, but because it is perfect enough, and it is a ton of fun. Will it win an Oscar? No. Will I buy the DVD and watch it repeatedly? Heck yes! :)
Special thanks to my sister and her family for being wonderful hosts to us. Oh, and on the drive home, I got to stop at Dairy Queen for a blizzard. Perfect ending to a great weekend. :)
