Went to see the new Star Trek movie this afternoon! I haven't been to a theater in a very long time--not many films can lure me into "Overpriced Discomfort World," but I've been watching Star Trek since I was five years old, and it beckons like the purr of a baby tribble, or the distress call of a Federation science outpost under attack from a Romulan Warbird. I will not bore you with my opinions about casting choices, character development, relationship twists, time travel, alternate time-lines, or the potential for exciting sequels. These are judgements every sci fi fan must make for themselves. The definite opinion I will offer, though, is that this movie is FUN! I was thoroughly entertained, and loved some of the nods to the original series. If you're in the mood for some rollicking sci fi adventure, you could do worse than to go see the latest Roddenberry spawn--a lot worse.
About Me
- Kat
- Oregon City, Oregon, United States
- I'm your average woman who likes to build things (rooms, cabinets, decks...) and I design these things in my head all the time. I'm surprising myself by enjoying cooking more and more as I get older. (I always thought it was a bother earlier in life.) I love to hike, ski and snowshoe, read incessantly (politics, current events, science, some sports, and a wide range of fiction), take my camera everywhere, and don't have children. My husband gave me a Sawzall once for Christmas, and I'm still grateful. When we bought a radial arm compound miter saw I officially entered power tool heaven. That about sums me up--except for the most important thing. I'm a Christian, and that pretty much colors my entire world view. "What Would Jesus Do?" isn't just a bumper sticker to me, although "What Would Kat Do?" frequently falls short of the mark. I'm a work in progress.
