Just a short post about the new Star Trek. Our local cinema showed the English version today, just came back home from there. I was a little worried J.J. Abrams might ruin the Star Trek franchise with it (not that I’m a fan or anything) but was still hoping for a good sci-fi action flick in the worst case. Well let me say he did a better job than I expected and it turns out to be a pretty decent homage to the original series and a modern action movie at the same time. It has its flaws like using a very cheap trick to allow the story but overall it’s a respectable effort. Abrams managed to make fun (in a good sense) of some of the cheasier aspects of the series while still maintaining a high level of appreciation for its qualities. So, if you like sci-fi movies and/or Star Trek, go watch it.
