The Setting: Yep, I went and saw Star Trek.
I really liked this movie. It was a great prequel to the TV series and does a good job of explaining how the characters came together. The casting was great. Spock, played by Zachary Quinto, was my favorite.
The movie has Titantic syndrome (you show the ship's gonna sink in the end); meaning, you know none of the main characters are going to die because it then wouldn't be possible for them to later exist in the series. But it has enough great action to keep it interesting, cool special effects, and things blowing up, and I'm a big fan of all of those things. Especially when there's popcorn involved.
There is this time travel thing going on, which is just a little illogical, but that's another story. It's Star Trek - just go with it. Also, certain parts of the storyline were a bit of a stretch, but overall I thought it was well done.
I give this movie three Slurpees out of five.

This Star Trek is set in an alternate universe, so it isn't exactly a prequel... in the "real" Star Trek reality, the planet that is destroyed in the movie (trying not to give it away for other people) still exists, for instance... so it is basically setting us up so that they *can* make changes and different choices, and even have someone die that didn't in the ongoing series... because this reality is different than what happened in ours.
Wow, I didn't know you were a Trekkie (although I should have known ;-O). And you're right - it was an alternate universe. It's all coming back to me now. Thanks for educating me!
