"i like this ship! it's exciting!"

Star Trek (2009) exceeded even my loftiest expectations for what it could be. It was decidedly nerdtacular enough to feel like a true Trek film, but ridiculously accessible for the non-traditional Trek viewer. Honestly, just perfect. The plot gets a little slippery at times, but hey, this is Star Trek; we're talking warp speed, photon torpedos, phasers, aliens who look just like humans but have pointy ears (elves?) etc. Suspend your disbelief and I'm sure the Trek black hole science will make some sort of sense. That aside, the actors got the job done admirably with a very healthy mix of the dramatic (John Cho was really good) and incredidbly comedic (Chris Pine and Karl Urban are hilarious together) and Uhura (Zoe Saldana) was insanely hot and only the second most beautiful part of the movie, behind the newly designed U.S.S Enterprise. I'm one pleased Trek fan. Please bring me the sequel, thank you.
