Star Trek (2009), fucking awesome!

So I definitely would not consider myself a Trekie. In fact, I don't think anyone out there would consider myself a Trekie. Prior to this last month I had only seen Galaxy Quest (which was hilarious) and Star Trek: Nemesis. Nemesis totally sucked, I think I was like in 8th grade when it came out ... anyways I saw it and it sucked. So because of this I never really had an interest in like the space sci-fi-y movies or TV shows, and never allowed myself to watch anything Star Trek, or Battlestar Galactica.

Anywhose, so I never went to see Star Trek when it came out in may or whenever because I maintained I'm really not a trekie. But on the way to Israel they were playing it, so I was like what the hell, I'll watch it, and it was really good.

It had a few familiar faces:

• Zachary Quinto from Heroes who was honestly REALLY REALLY good.
• Leonard Nimoy from the original Star Treks!
• Eric Bana the lead from Munich.
• Zoe Saldana from Center Stage who didn't have a huge part in this movie but was great. She was also Anamaria in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
• John Cho from the Harold & Kumar series ... did you know there was a Harold & Kumar go to Amsterdam, cuz I definitely did not.
• Simon Pegg from Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz.
• Anton Yelchin, my personal favorite since he's fucking amazing. He was the star of Charlie Bartlett, and the kid who gets kidnapped in Alpha Dog. Yelchin is charming and hilarious. To think he was only 19 when he filmed Star Trek.

Anywhose, I had fairly low expectations for this film, and honestly, I really really liked it and have even considered watching the other trekie type movies (Michael you can educate me there).
