Star Trek

Ahhhh.

Rented it. Watching it. Loved it.

For trekkies, of course, but also good for science fiction and space adventure stories. Excellent movie.

The actors were great!!! Especially the actors playing Spock (his voice could have been a little deeper) and Bones--Dr. McCoy-- was dead-on. Delightful. The rest were good, too.

I wondered for a long time where Scotty was, then theyadded him to the crew--he was one of the cuties that played Dr. No on BBC series. Too small, too thin. But just as lovable.

And the romantic interest was a surprise as was the appearance of an actor and character from the old TV series.

The familiar Kirk personality from the 1960's was brought in by the actor at the very end of the movie when we got a glimpse of the good old Captain Kirk-to-be coming forth. It was very satisfying. (Of course I missed Jeffery Hunter as Capt. Pike but many people won't even remember him.)

Definitely worth renting and watching.

NOTE to the producers: Bring Star Trek series back to the big screen, and we wouldn't mind a weekly series with the new, younger cast.

I'm gonna buy this one.
