Reaction – “The wait is over”
Posted by Michael Warren on May 8, 2009
OK, Star Trek instant reaction:
Bloody hell, that was good.
Near-instant reaction (i.e. having returned home afterwards) – with SPOILERS – below the cut.
Bloody hell, that was good!
Exciting, heartwarming, heartbreaking, epic, personal, and just outstanding.
The end of the first act had me nearly in tears.
I accepted everyone as the “new” versions of the characters. I hope that the next film gives Cho, Yelchin and Simon Pegg more stuff to do – Pegg needs to be more than comic relief (although he did get a few “engineering genius” moments, particularly with the climax).
I’m quite happy with the Spock/Uhura romance – I think it’s a nice twist to the universe. I am less convinced about the destruction of Vulcan and the virtual wiping out of the Vulcan species.
The new Enterprise looks brilliant – there’s only one angle where she really looks poor. Sadly, that’s actually the angle we see her at for the very first time (when completed).
I am very tempted to go and see it again tomorrow…
