Star Trek

[erilyn]

Just got back from seeing Star Trek at IMAX with iibnf, alasen, meelie, some people from Al's work, my sister and her friend N. First time seeing an actual movie (as opposed to made-for-IMAX documentaries) that I've seen there, and first time I've been in years. That was...interesting, but worth it.

Going in to this, I was fighting against the urge to pre-emptively get loldefensive against this film's existence, fighting against being overly nitpicky or getting hung up on them changing things. I did want to give the film a chance. Given my mixed feelings about it, I hadn't really been paying attention and knew very little by way of spoilers.

I FUCKING ADORED IT.

♥____♥

I AM NOT EXAGGERATING TO SAY I HAD HEARTS IN MY EYES. I MADE AUDIBLE SOUNDS OF DELIGHT MORE THAN ONCE, AS WELL AS LAUGHING MYSELF SILLY QUITE A BIT.

OH MY GOD, THAT WAS JUST SO GOOD. WE WERE SO FLAILY AND SHOUTY ABOUT OUR LOVE AFTERWARDS.

And N has only passing familiarity with Trek, and she really enjoyed it.

I went in completely unspoiled apart from casting and a vague idea about Romulans, but I was quite optimistic about it, no defensive nitpickery here, I was quite excited.

I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED OMG.

I was looking forward to it (wouldn't have been at IMAX first week it opened otherwise *g*) but worried I wasn't going to like it. Yay for being wrong!

TELL YOUR SISTER SHE SENT US TO OUR DEATHS.
Seriously, we had to ask a random guy which way was the exit. So many lounge chairs, so few signage which led to actual doors.

SHE'S RANDOMLY EVIL LIKE THAT, SORRY! :(

I was a little bit worried, but not too much, since I was never hugely into TOS. TNG has always been my favorite, but even my mom, who has been into Star Trek since always, loved every second of it. Ugh, I want to see it again and again and again!

HELL I'M A TREK NEWBIE (only knew names and basic background) AND EVEN I WAS FLAILING AND SQUEEING LIKE CRAZY DURING AND AFTER THE MOVIE. AND OMG THE OST WAS AMAZING ALSO.

So deeply awesome :) I'm not used to TPTB getting things so right!

They've done so well at making it enjoyable to fans and non-fans alike!
