Star trek - OBSESSED

Writing calms me, and yes my NEW obsession is in fact Star Trek, and yes i know I'm a nerd. So I've watched the new-ish Star Trek movie two times in the summer. The second time I watched it, was in I MAX, while I was on vacation. Anyway, enough about me. Star Trek the original series lasted about 3 seasons before it got canceled due to not enough people watching (sad). I've only watched a few episodes, and they aren't that bad, except the picture quality. So... about 40 years later, Star Trek the movie came out!! JJ Abram (the director) brought the motion picture to life. Great job. For me, the reason I was more fascinated with Star Trek, and eventually got hooked, was Spock. Well it was how Zachary Quinto portrayed Spock. He did an amazing job, like a really really amazing job. Leonard Nimoy (original Spock) is also in the movie!! How cool! OH and another thing, did you know on set, Leonard and Zachary became really good friends. Spock... meet Spock. Chris Pine plays James T. Kirk. Pine gave the character Kirk, more rebellious and a clumsy look. I'm really trying to find the word to describe the new Kirk... but i can't. Zoё (pronounced Zoey) Saldana plays Lieutenant Uhura.. with a nice new hairdoo.


The original Star Trek series never really told us how the enterprise crew came together. But now.. this movie did! Spoilers ahead! So the story line is really confusing, it makes more sense if you actually watch it. So this movie is set in an alternate dimension, created by a black hole. in this dimension, Kirk's dad dies in the first 10 minutes of the movie... then you see Kirk as a kid, breaking the rules. Then you see Spock as a vulcan kid, being bullied by other Vulcan kids, because of his mother being human. Well just for the record, if Spock is half human and half Vulcan, wouldn't his ears be smaller than the rest of the Vulcans? Then it shows us Kirk and Spock all grown up and joining starfleet. Things got to a rough start when Spock accused Kirk of cheating on some test, and suspended him from coming aboard the enterprise. The real core of this movie is about how Kirk, and Spock don't get along, but by the end of the movie... they are friends. yay! But the real meaning of this movie is saying that no matter what the circumstances are, if something is meant to be, it will work out eventually no matter what.


Another thing i really liked about this movie was the humor and comedy. I was laughing so hard at some points. Ok so, there was this one scene where Kirk and Dr. McCoy called Spock, "the pointy ear bastard." HAHAHA, it makes me laugh just thinking about it. Oh and a new twist. Spock and Uhura dating!? Well it makes sense... their both hard working and smart and talk all future-ee. Lots of action, a memorable cast, great story line, humor, and a solid ending =
