It’s after 1AM here in Ohio, and I just got back from watching Star Trek. I liked it. It felt kinda crammed though, and interestingly enough I felt the new X-Men movie was crammed as well… like they both expected me to have mild attention deficit disorder. Other than that, Star Trek is a definite recommendation. Wolverine, not so much.

Anyway, leave your expectations of your typical Star Trek movie at the door, and you’ll be fine. Initial readings from the naysayers on rottentomatoes indicate that the distaste is usually because it’s not like the old Trek. There’s really not alot of engineering jargon or philosophical considerations in this one, I see it as a lower barrier to entry. I think if they slow down the pace for the next movie I’d like it even more.

As far as Wolverine… it sucks, don’t see it.
