Star Trekkin

So last night was Logan's first venture to the cinema in 2009. I was going to refer to it as the fist of my biannual trips, but this year could be better than last year. More specifically, the next month will be better than last year, thanks to me being a sci-fi geek that only leaves his dwellings for the spectacle of an action blockbuster bonanza on the big screen... of doom

You see the first trailer I cared for was a surprise - Terminator: Salvation. Terminator 3 was lame and quite frankly I've not been too interested in this, despite it starring my favouritist actor in the ever, Christian Bale. The trailer, however, had me thinking 'whoa nelly I have to see this movie'. Word up to you, McG - master of the Charlies Angels movies.

In case people don't quite get it, I am being facetious; the only good thing about Charlie's Angels was Bill Murray was in it. Never saw the 2nd. And how McG went from there to here is a mystery.

This trailer was followed by a certain sequel that I couldn't possible hate that involves some sort of robots that transform or something... I dunno...

But yes - they both come out in June, so that right there would fill my quota for the year... if I hadn't already made a trip to the cinema last night to view Star Trek. 'Twas rather enjoyable, I must say.

Now I'm no Trekkie, but I did grow up with a good understanding of most the original show; my Dad is a bit of a Trekkie and I would occassionally watch the show with him, and I also watched most of the movies with him too. And I can admit I watched The Next Generation pretty regularly - that show is awesome. I have to say I thought the film was perfectly cast (particularly Eric Bana - can't remember the last time I thought he gave a performance that good) and while some Star Trek purists may have a few things to complain about, I think it is a movie that everyone can enjoy.

So if you like a bit of sci-fi action with your big screen visuals, then I would thoroughly recommend seeing it - even you don't like Star Trek.
