I saw Star Trek

Ok, so I am not a Trek fan, but you can not be my age and not know SOMETHING about the original show. It's pop culture. So here is my quick review as a person not all that interested in Star Trek...

If I had to choose a favorite character from the original series it would have to be Spock. Even as a kid I was attracted to black hair and pale (if not slightly teal) skin. I think Leonard Nemoy is probably a real cool guy too. The fellow who played Spock in the prequel was GREAT! I wish that make-up would have worked on his teeth though so he and "old Spock" would have had similar tooth shapes. I found this bit of incontinuity distracting.

The Romulan ship was scary as hell. Eric Bana has such a non-descript face that it took me 30 minutes to figure out he was even in the movie.

And finally, Chekhov. Wow, I really hated how they cast that one. Original Chekov was cute and Davie Jones like. Young Chekhov was just annoying. Seriously, if I have to hate anything about this movie, it would have to be the casting of Chekov.

I enjoyed all the inside-ish jokes and I was shocked that no one spoke the "Space...the final frontier..." speech along with Spock. I was in my head.
