Ahhhhh.... Saw Star Trek this afternoon and Serenity is on SciFi channel right now. Life just doesn't get better than this.
Regarding Star Trek... It outshines WoK as my personal favorite already, and that is reeeeallly saying something. Here are some of the reasons I loved it so much;
* Put tears in my eyes one minute, and had me laughing my ass off the next.
* Frequent call-backs to TOS and some of the movies. "I have been and always shall be your friend."
* NIMOY! He really doesn't look bad for a Vulcan on the high side of 300!
* Sylar is Spock! I'm a huge Heroes fan and didn't realize it was the same actor till I saw him on the big screen. He does a fantastic job of portraying a character torn between what is logical and what is emotional.
* I got a real sense of "history in the making" from the movie, and then "history in the re-making", which I thought was a great way to re-start the series.
I hope that the big studios continue to "reboot" some of the movie series which have become very stale. Batman was a great decision. James Bond was a great decision. Star Trek is a great decision.
Terminator: Salvation here I come!!!
