Next Day Air:
I didn’t get a chance to see a screening of this one. It does look funny though and I’ll probably see it at some point…
Star Trek:
… but let’s face it, the movie to see this weekend is Star Trek. Â I did get to see a screening of this one, and to let you know what I thought, I plan on seeing it again in the theater.
When I first heard they were going to reboot the franchise by heading back to the academy days of the original crew I couldn’t think of it being worth seeing in any way. Â Too many reboots have just waived a magic wand, ingored everything that came before and started over, usually poorly. Â Of couse, Batman Begins showed that a relaunch could be good, even awesome, and Star Trek follows that mold. Â The team behind the new Trek have crafted a tale that starts at the beginning, but in a way that remembers and even honors the past films and TV shows. Â In a word, it is fantastic. Â Completely worth the price of admission.
