This is the third post so far that has the words 'Star Trek' in it. *GASP*
Here we are, the post that absolutely violates every code of fanboy conduct I employ as a Star Wars fan.
Star Trek.
*shivers*
Urgh, here goes.
As soon as the opening scene begins, the audience is treated to a no-holds-barred 3-D feast for the eyes. I guess at that point, I was sold.
The movie itself was relatively newbie-friendly. It wasn't too heavily-laden with universe terminology and provided just enough information to the average viewer to give them a sense of what the hell's going on in this true blue geek flick. Of course, I came already armed with the basic knowledge of the main characters, Captain James T. Kirk and Mr Spock. (Well, I was only familiar with their names, but doesn't that already tell you how newbie-friendly this movie is?)
GAHH I can't write anymore about this movie lest I turn Trekkie.
All I can say is that it was 2 hours well-spent watching a thoroughly action packed movie based on a well-established series that's as old as my mother.
And and, John Cho aka HAROLD LEE FROM THE ABSURDLY FUNNY HAROLD AND KUMAR SERIES OF MOVIES was in it.
He played Hikaru Sulu, and wielded an extendable katana. LOLOL.
Okay done.
