O to the M to the G!

I just saw Star Trek into Darkness and I loved it! If I start telling you anything, I might slip up and tell you everything, so I won’t tell you anything about the movie, but I will tell you about the characters.

Chris Pine is a great Captain Kirk, strong willed, head strong, thinks in his feet, responsible and loyal to his crew and installs loyalty in them. He’s willing to give his life for them and in turn, they feel the same.

Zachary Quinto is the quintessential Spock, I don’t think they could have made a better choice. He has the attitude, the posture, the speech pattern, the look.

Have you seen the commercial with old and new Spock? Awesome!

Zoe Saldana as Uhura is great, although, I just want to give her a sandwich! I do like the interaction between Uhura and Spock is great, still unsettling because I’m a purist and Spock and Uhura? She does have a great attitude and is fierce in her commitment and she can kick some arse!

Karl Urban is fantastic as Bones! I don’t think they could have found anyone else who embodies the role of Dr McCoy. He has the sarcastic attitude, the verbal sparring, questioning everything, the southern analogies (I know that’s not the right word, but it’s after 2 am and I can’t think of the word).

Simon Pegg, where do I start? I la la la love Simon Pegg, I think he was the perfect choice for Scotty. I will say that in this movie, he was a bit more serious, and his hair looked odd, but he was still terrific in the role, he was…Scotty! All I wanted to hear is dilithium crystals!

John Cho is great as Mr Sulu, I have liked him since I saw him on Charmed, I have blocked out the one Harold and Kumar movie I saw, thankfully! He had a great scene where he took charge and Bones says, “Mr Sulu, remind me to never piss you off!”

Benedict Cumberbatch was awesome as Kahn! He was a BAD A**!!! He did right by the memory of the original Kahn! Let’s just say, as bad guys, he brought up memories of Hans Gruber from Die Hard! He is a great actor and I have enjoyed everything I have seem him in.

Peter Weller is good as Admiral Marcus. Hard to picture him as anyone besides Buckaroo Bonsai for me and RoboCop for most people.

All in all, I really enjoyed the movie and hope you will too!

Thanks to my brother in law, AS, for going to the movies with me, it was a lot of fun, we only get to go to the movies once a year in the Bahamas. I miss going to opening nights with DCM, we have to hurry up and get me to Colorado, there are so many openings coming up!
