Star Trek

My movie of the year, without a doubt. Avatar was awesome, but second. Watchmen was almost there but give me real Trek over blue penis any day. X-Men: Wolverine, Terminator Salvation and Transformers 2 were ok, sad and watch for the SFX, respectively.

JJ Abrams, Robert Orci ad Alex Kurtzman made this 40 year old franchise new again with a brilliantly creative destruction of the existing canon. Respectful of what fans loved but willing to move on, so I can’t wait for their next production to arrive in late 2011.

Much love for the cast. Chris Pine was a wonderful choice for Kirk, Quinto, Yelchin, Saldana, Cho, Urban and Pegg a terrific bridge crew that ought to be able to last a long time. Terrific new take on what starship innards would be like too.
