Spoiler free, I think

So, I finally saw Star Trek. The new one. The new movie. You know what I mean.

I have only one complaint, and that was that Zoe Saldana should have had more screen time. I love her, and she was awesome.
 

Seriously, that's the only thing I could find to complain about. That movie did not go at all where I thought it would, and I was so... entertained! I felt like it was one of the more original things I've seen in years. Which is odd, since it's like the 27th incanation of this world/mythos. It's also pretty hard for movies to surprise me, but this one managed it. Good job all around.

It was also hilarious (especially Bones), and Kirk was kind of cute, and it made me go IS THAT WINONA RYDER?! HOLY SHIT IT TOTALLY IS! so that was fun.

I also know very little about the source material, so that's not a prerequisite for enjoyment. I mean, I know their names, and some of the actors' names, and the big lines, and the split infinitive, and you know, stuff like that. Which reminds me! I appreciate it when movies that are based on something so well known and well loved acknowledge that. It's like, yes, it's a new movie, re-vitializing, breathing new life, whatever, but don't you forget who made you. And they didn't.
