I saw Star Trek last night. It mostly served to underscore how badly film connects with me as a medium anymore. It was an awesome movie, very well done, but I just couldn't get enough connection to give a shit.
It does totally reinforce my longstanding belief that Casting is far more important than, say, the script as far as making an enjoyable movie. They did a great job of finding people who managed to capture the feel of the characters that I know so well, but make them a bit younger, less experienced.
It also made me kind of sad that James Doohan and DeForest Kelley didn't live to see it, as their characters were particularly well captured, I thought.

padparadscha was right: The Soundtrack is a total Fanboy. "OMG, IT'S THE ENTERPRISE!!1!!!111"
Unrelated: Last night was one of those wonderfully unseasonal times. A perfect October evening in May.
