Star Trek Movie Review

****SPOILER ALERT****

I saw the latest Star Trek movie last night. I like the Star Trek series, so I liked the movie. Having said that, I was disappointed with the music and the story. As for the music, there was nothing memorable about the music except the famous original strains from the original TV series. Now, the story has the premise that Spock made a serious mistake among a few other mistakes Spock made in the movie. To any Star Trek fan, that is unbelievable, the most unbelievable idea among other unbelievable happenings in the movie. Somehow, I missed the story. My wife filled me in on some important details as we were driving home. There was a key monologue in the movie that revealed the key foundation for the story line. And, I missed it. I must have been distracted by something else in the scene; maybe a ship rat or those bugs that we learned about in the Wrath of Khan movie. I suppose the movie was too cheap to reveal this information in another way other than a monologue. I thought the scene of a 13-year-old Kirk crashing a Corvette over a cliff was extraneous(Mary tells me it was a Mustang). After the movie, I am wondering where Iowa has a cliff like the Grand Canyon. Maybe, I have the location wrong. I did not like the young Spock Character. I guess he grew up in this movie. (I must admit, I was biased against the actor who played Spock because he plays a real-mean emotionless character in the TV series Heroes.) Spock was my favorite when I was a boy watching the original series; so, tainting his character bothered me. I liked the scene where Kirk is running away from an angry crab-like creature. I like how Scotty saved the day by doing the impossible. I especially liked how Bones said the sayings we expected him to say. One point to make about the storyline that my daughter Mary told me, because of the way the story ended, the crew of the Enterprise can boldly go where they want to go unencumbered with past storyline restrictions. So, I look forward for the next movie.
