Okay, I know that as a Star Wars fan I am supposed to despise Star Trek. Honestly, I have never really watched even a single episode of Star Trek, but I saw the newest movie in theaters anyway. I loved it! The special effects and action scenes were very well done, yet they did not overpower the movie. I really appreciate that. The acting was superb as well, there was not a "stiff" scene throughout the entire movie. What I find most important is that long time Trekkies seem to be enjoying the movie. I assume that the goal of the producers was to appease faithful followers and generate a new fan base at the same time. I cannot call myself as a fan, as I have only seen one movie, but I am more interested in Star Trek than I ever have been before. I would probably buy all three original seasons on DVD if it did not cost nearly $200 to do so! Even if I did enjoy the original TV series, I do not think I will ever become a true Trekkie. Star Wars is my sci fi love!
I'll add this to my Netflix...not one I'd normally be interested in but now you have inspired me to "open my mind" (ha)!
