Ok maybe Harry Potter will match it. But OMG that was a good movie.
here’s the deal – I am not a trekkie. I am a star wars fan, but I have only seen some of the star trek movies (the 80′s ones); I watched some Next Gen but not the later two series. So I want to get my not-a-trekkie credentials clear.
I’m born in 74, so I grew up on old star trek reruns, and I probably watched them when they first aired in a past life. So I was quite familiar with Roddenberry’s original episodes.
In short, J.J. Abrams has my undying admiration; the writers, Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci, should earn Pulitzers.
I feel SO STRONGLY about this movie? Why? It’s done perfectly. Even if you only vaguely know the Star Trek story from the original episodes, you should be delighted by this version.
If you know nothing about Star Trek, you should still see the movie
The opening sequence had me in tears; a few sequences later had me in tears.
This kind of film making makes me feel sorry for other movies. Seriously, all I could talk about after the movie is “why aren’t other movies this good? Why do directors have to work with bad scripts? Why do good scripts have to work with bad directors?”
Thank you, JJ. Damn.
