A STAR TREK movie review

Good evening, YA SciFi Geniuses! Yep, I'm still around, just beached and severely limited in what I can do until after I recover from giving birth. Anyway, remember how worried I was about the new STAR TREK movie? Doing a remake of such an iconic Science Fiction show was a tall order I feared no human could hope to accomplish. I mean, good grief, just think of all the real life scientists and technology inspired by the original t.v. series, like Dr. Mae Jemeson, the first African American woman in space, and those doors which slide open for you at the grocery store.
.
However, my good Blog Buddy, Tia, over at the Fantasy Debut has seen it and is sufficiently impressed, which makes me want to go. My husband is also reassured by initial reviews. We have to wait until after my doctor's appointment tomorrow. I might get put on medical bedrest and then it'll have to wait. Thankfully, there's a theater in Anchorage which runs movies that have already left all the other theaters, so there's a good chance I'll still get to see it in all that wonderful movie house magic.

Here's the link to Tia's review- http://fantasydebut.blogspot.com/2009/05/movie-review-star-trek.html Isn't the new Mr. Sulu hot? Of course, I always thought the first one was too.

My newspaper, The Charlotte Observer, gave STAR TREK three and a half stars. They give most movies two. I'm planning to see the movie soon with some friends. As a 100% devoted TOS Trekkie, I still have my doubts. But I will reserve judgement till I see it. :)

You're welcome, Tia.

I'd hate to miss seeing this one in the theater. All those great SciFi special effects just aren't the same on a television set, although my father-in-law got a huge plasma t.v. for Christmas. That plus Blu-Ray would probably be my second best bet.
