Thursday night at the movies: Star Trek

SaraRules and I just got back from seeing J. J. Abrams’ Star Trek with most of the IT team.
And it was good. Quite good. I think that it was a rather satisfying bridging of the old and the new. There was something there for both long-time fans of the original show and movies as well as new fans. The story was good. The actors played their roles well – and I was very happy to note that “secondary” characters like Checkov and Uhura and Sulu were given personalities and were allowed to be characters, not just cardboard cutouts.
I happily give this movie a thumbs-up with an okay… I’ve finally come up with a new rating system: The LEGO brick:
And with that in mind, I give the new Star Trek…. nine bricks.
Namaste.
