live long and prosper

Guess it's time for my review of 2009's STAR TREK!

(Just so you all know, I've 'officially' seen this movie TWICE. )

So, personally, I absolutely completely incredibly totally loved love loved and enjoyed the movie. And trust me people, I thought Star Trek was the stupidest thing ever before I watched this. For all non-fans, and I mean ALL, this film is a great way to understand the whole concept of the franchise and why there are such a thing as Trekkies or Trekkers, whichever name they prefer. J.J. Abrams was able to make this film so believable. I know it take place in the future and all, but it's a believablee future. One where humans and aliens live side by side but we still ride motorcycles and drive in cars. I took my mother to see it for Mother's Day, like I said, and my reaction when it ended was "WOW, that was insane! I have to watch the originals now!" And the second time I saw it, well, let's just say I had a whole new understanding and appreciation for Star Trek.

Now, time for the actors:
(Because I really don't know much about the other characters, I'll stick to the main ones, Kirk and Spock)
CHRIS PINE as Cpt. James T. Kirk: I honestly thought Chris Pine did very well as Kirk (and I'm not saying that because I also think he's the hottest man alive at the moment). Now, I still haven't seen the character when he was played by Shattner, but from what I saw and from what I've read, I though that Pine sort of played Kirk his own way. He portrayed his as a kind of brash, loud, cocky and very full of himself. Which made him all the more attractive and enjoyable to watch. To sum it all up, this version of Cpt. Kirk is the type of guy you'd love to go out with, but would never ever bring home to Mom or Dad for that matter. Congrats to Chris Pine for succeeding in this role!

ZACHARY QUINTO as Spock: First of all, to everyone who saw the film already, how much more alike could Zach Quinto look to Leanord Nemoy when he first played Spock?!?!?! Quinto was fantastic in this role! Not only did he portray Spock just like Nemoy, but he too put his own spin on the character. In the original 60s TV series, Spock is an emotionless Vulcan (but they all are/were), but in 09's Star Trek, Spock has more depth to him. He is waaaay more emotional that originally portrayed, which is what I liked the most. Quinto showed off a lot more of Spock's human side. Well done Zachary Quinto!
Now, as I said in the last entry, I was going to touch a bit more on Chris Pine.
Holy shizzles ladies! If you never thought Chris Pine was sexy, dreamy, steamy, or attractive in any way before, or if you only thought he was slightly one of those, then you will love love love love him once you walk out of the theatre! I did see Princess Diaries 2 and Just My Luck, and I personally did not think he was anything special, but ohmagawd, I have a new and HUGE appreciation for this guy now.

I'm guessing he's not as blond as his character Kirk is, which is probs why his hair is so dark in pictures, but I really think he should just stay blond, because it brings out the gorgeous blue in his eyes. Never before did I think I would be typing in Captain Kirk into Google, but here I am now, practically searching up that subject almost all the time.

(I just had to add this in)

But I'm completely devastated now. Apparently Mr.Pine was spotted out with Audrina Partridge herself. Now I don't want to be like any of those tabloid sites, but COME ON. I apologize in advanced to all Audrina fans, but she does not deserve Chris Pine, and he can do so much more better than her. I really liked him with Beau Garrett, they were an adorable couple. Audrina and him are not. It just seems to me that she's might possibly be using him to gain fame, especially since she's getting her 'own' reality show (she can't live without the cameras I see). I just hope that Pine opens his eyes and sees the many more beautiful and attractive girls in Hollywood, or in other countries. Ones that aren't just skin and bones, and who sound intelligent when they open their mouths. Another apology to Audrian fans, but I just don't like her. Maybe if I knew her personally I might, but from what I've seen from every episode of THE HILLS, she doesn't seem like the type of girl I'd want as a 'close friend'.
