[he by far nailed his character perfectly] and yes, it is good to love Trek again on the big screen - it had been too long, though only two more years till the next one! :-)<br /><br />Jthebonebreakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11304800728906814919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131059576868500437.post-37665869975402434522009-05-08T18:13:00.000-07:002009-05-08T18:13:00.000-07:00Well, I won't put it better than Wrath of Khan, bu...Well, I won't put it better than <EM>Wrath of Khan</EM>, but I damn well enjoyed the film. The plot's a mess and filled with coincidence, but it didn't matter at all: moves fast, the character are great, and it all just feels so good!

I think that says something about the J. J.

This is, without a doubt, the best film to come out in 2009 thus far, and I think it'll be difficult to beat. Everything about this production is, in my opinion, PERFECT. <br /><br />Fans and non-fans will find SOMETHING to love about this prequel/sequel from J.J. Abrams & Co., whether it be Simon Pegg (HOT FUZZ) or the visual effects (which are so PRETTY!!!). Me, I also dug Michael Giacchino's riveting score. I must own CD.<br /><br />Great write-up, sir!Andrew Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10882456440562600101noreply@blogger.com
