Star Trek

My intentions for this blog have always been for it to be a World of Warcraft themed blog. I've done a good job of keeping in line with that original objective, but sometimes there are things in this world that are so awesome, so mesmerizing, so important that they must be shared with the world, World of Warcraft related or not.

The newest Star Trek movie is one of these things.

At this point, dear one reader, you should be getting into your car, driving to the nearest theater, and promptly purchasing one ticket for the Star Trek movie. You may stop reading now.

If you haven't left yet, you rebellious soul you, know that Star Trek transcends the geekdom of its television predecessor and sets phasers to "cool." It is a fantastic ride from start to finish. It respects the Star Trek canon, yet also brings it into our time. The characters are so real, so fleshed out (as J.J. Abrams does so well), so alive that it's impossible to pick a favorite.

And the story is fantastic and it feels natural in this world of Star Trek. There's nothing hokey about it. It is just as alive and charismatic as the characters that inhabit it.

Did I mention the action sequences will draw your hindquarters to subconsciously move to the edge of their resting place?

I went into this movie not caring about Star Trek and always viewing it as something for the nerds on the fringe of the geekdom universe. Yet I walked out of the theater waiting for the next installment of this hopefully continuing series. Any fan of J.J. Abrams should be devoted enough to see this. Any fan of Star Trek will surely embrace what he's done. And anyone else who is alive should go see this movie and have a blast!

Until the next U.S.S. Enterprise voyage...
