Shannon and I went to the theater for our anniversary and saw Star Trek…
…and it was really good.
I'm stunned. I just didn't think the franchise had it anymore. There have been so many mediocre Star Trek movies, but this one might be as good as Wrath of Khan or First Contact. It's that good.
I love that they didn't hit the reset button at the end of the movie. Star Trek has often been guilty of undoing the consequences of the show's plot with some contrived plot device. This movie blows up an important planet and leaves it that way. Wow.
I also love that they did manage to reset the whole franchise with an excellent explanation of how and why. Surprisingly, there will be absolutely no continuity conflict with anything they want to do now in future films; very clever.
The new cast is nearly perfect (better than the original?). The special effects were superb. The humor was great. Star Trek is a good movie.
