Star Trek

This is not your father's Star Trek



Re-boots of movie franchises are all the craze these days. And it seems that only a few are not living up to their hype. Now I'm not a trekkie. I did like most of the older Star Trek films but I was never one to memorize all the various technologies of the Star Trek universe and/or dress up as a Vulcan (although I have thought that it would be fun). I just like watching the movies. KHANNNNNNN!!!!!!!

Well, after watching the new Star Trek, I now know that I don't need to be a trekkie to be a fan. This movie is did a great job at re-booting. I know...I know there are alot of old fans who are saying that there are continuity errors (regarding the Star Trek universe) in this movie, but I say WHO CARES! This movie will give the franchise life again!

The story is all that you would predict from the trailer. How did the original crew get together? I like the way the story started with the parallel lives of Kirk and Spock heading toward Star Fleet. Speaking of Kirk and Spock, I am still on the fence about Chris Pine, but Zachary Quinto is the new SPOCK. I never once looked at him and thought of Syler. He had giant shoes to fill but I believe he did a great f'ing job.

Other great performances go to Karl Urban and Erin Bana. From the first Dr. McCoy rant I knew he would be the best supporting character in the movie. It was just fun to watch him go off about the insanity of space and all things they were attempting to do. Brilliant! As for Bana, I like him as a villain. He should look for more roles as a villain, cus they're just fun.

Let's talk about the action. Oh Boy! lots of it! Everyone seems to get a chance to kick some ass.
Even Solo is cool as shit.

I give it an A - Awesome. Re-booting complete. Look forward to future of the franchised to blast off!

Snikt!

Wow! What a way to start the summer this year is going to be awesome!



X-Men Origins: Wolverine was everything you want it to be. Jam packed with action. Great scenes with funny dialogue. Wolverine carving up everybody. I tried to count how many times he extended his claws....I lost count somewhere around twenty seven.

If you are a comic book fan, you'll love this movie. The storyline ties well into most of the comic book material. There are a few variations but nothing that doesn't make you hate them for destroying your beloved titles. Hugh Jackman is great as Logan/Wolverine. He works great as the unleashed animal, and he can get deep into the emotional side of Logan. Everyone knows that Wolverine does his job well, but there has to be more to him than just cutting people up. Jackman balances it well. This role is his until the end of time!

Most believed that X-Men movies couldn't work because there are so many characters. Well the first X-Men proved that wrong and so did this movie. There were so many Mutants name drops and cameos it was hard to keep up. There was Sabertooth, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Blob, Agent Zero, Wraith, Gambit, Silverfox, Bolt, Professor X, Quicksilver, and even Deadpool was said. The thing is that the story kept the many characters to small roles and focused on Wolverine. It made everything tie in better. No time wasting on who these people are. If you know them then you will know when it was said. Sorry general non-comic book reading public.

Still it is a great action movie. I think a lot of people will like it. If not they are mental or something. Now as most readers know I don't like to give too much away here. I mainly says a simple "Like" or "Dislike" with a few more words. When you see this movie sit throughout all the credits. There are multiple special endings that will be played at different screenings. I am going again to see the other endings....along with counting the Snikt's

A- Awesome! See it right away! Only because next week Star Trek comes out. And it looks crazy good!!!!!
