If you meant the movie, I voted the ‘yes’ option!
Trust me people, it’s good as the reviews have been saying. This is ain’t no Dragonball, this is the real deal!
I was thinking “This is gonna be so lame”, but I came out of the theatre with a goofy grin on my face and a burning desire to watch the TV series (And yes, FYI, I’m not a fan of the show to begin with. Never watched an episode. Ever).
For J.J. Abrams and Co. to have won over a non-believer is an achievement in itself. The action is amazing, the characters had great developments, the storyline is though-provoking, everything about it was just about as perfect for a TV show adaptation to the big screen. They’ve managed to take a niche culture in geekdom and made it palatable for the mainstream, so I must commend them for that.
And yes, Mr Giachinno has done it again, with a fantastic score that will raise your spirits and tingle your spine! The last time the dynamic duo teamed up was for M:I:3, which was also a fantastic sequel.
Of course, some of the fans will point out inconsistencies and will nitpick it to death, but for someone who has always laughed the Vulcan salute, I couldn’t care less about the anomalies, and it’s a good introduction to the series for newbies (and a much better origins story than Wolverine, I’m guessing).
I think this is the first decent blockbuster of the summer this year! No, scratch that, the best film of 2009 for me so far (although there’s so many good ones coming out soon, that view will change, but for the moment, it’s at the top of my list)
