Trekking

We went out and saw the new Star Trek movie tonight and I loved it! Okay, I'll admit I was an avid Star Trek watcher in the 60's and 70's. And I must say, this new movie does a great job of capturing and updating that series.

I was very impressed with the character development, the acting, and the storyline of the movie. But beyond that, it had my absolutely favorite element in it—time travel! The special effects were fantastic, too. J.J. Abrams did away with the traditional Star Trek view of Enterprise as a lumbering naval ship and used a more Star Wars-like dogfight approach. And from the moment the movie starts, so does the action and it just never stops.

I think a high standard has been set for a new era of Star Trek which I hope will produce at least a couple more movies. A truly wonderful movie. I highly recommend it.
