JJ Abram's Star Trek *spoilers*
I went to see the new Star Trek movie on it's opening. It was good. Now mind you I might be a sci-fi fan but I am not a Trekkee or whatever they call themselves. Personally my favorite sci-fi shows were Twilight Zone and X Files but that's just me. Now mind you i'm the daughter of a Trek fan and as a kid i watched Next Generation. Now i've seen maybe one or 2 episodes of the original series. So bear in mind that's were i'm coming from.

I liked this movie the same way I liked a lot of other action movies. It was fun and fast paced. It wasn't the best movie i've ever seen but it was better than I expected. Now i have to admit i was totally rolling my eyes when they went into the time travel stuff but that's just because I watch Lost which is also JJ Abrams. Now unlike Lost the time travel stuff here makes sense. Not that there arn't some plot hole issues and things that were too convenient. For instance when Spock ejects Kirk onto the Ice PLanet where it just so happens that the other Spock is and the only guy around who can teleport them back on the ship. I mean it's ok in that movies are about suspension of disbelief and all but that was a bit convenient. Not to mention what was up with Spock ejecting Kirk from the ship in the first place? I mean did they not have time to finish the brig or something?

Anyway i'll stop nit-picking. It was a good movie that seems to be doing great business and i'm sure we will be taking several more trips with this Erterprise crew.
