Default Movie recommendation..

Saw the new Star Trek movie last night - midnight showing.

Dudes, it's great. They handled the classic characters percectly and
handed out a whole lot of love to the original series and TNG. Plenty
of reimaged music from original series, but the theme fell a little
flat.

Unbelievable CGI work - it's a great movie and if you are even a
marginal Star Trek fan - GO SEE IT!!

I never go to movies in theaters, but it was a freebie and as we all
know, frees for me.

As a long time scifi fan, I resisted the "reimaging" genre of classic
scifi shows and movies, but I'm slowly coming around to seeing it as a
positive. BSG got me to thinking that this is a good thing as it might
give some life to an over worked fiction genre and the new Star Trek
is a great example of it. Slightly twist the canon and you have new
stuff to work with.

Go see it - seriously. It's worth sitting in a smelly movie theater
just for the experience.
