The new Star Trek film: very good

Kelly and I went to see the new Star Trek film today, and it was very good. I wasn’t disappointed. For Trek fans, the casting, special effects, and nods to the classic TV series are all there, but the story, acting, and balance of humor, romance, and action should make the film thoroughly enjoyable for anyone. Two geeky thumbs up.

In the spirit of Trek

Since today is the opening day for the new Star Trek film, I thought I’d post this little gem I found via Digg.com just now. Some fella in England converted his 500 square foot flat into a very impressive (if a bit overboard) Star Trek ship interior.

Check the photos (13 in all).

The new movie started here in Portland about a half hour ago, and some of my coworkers are seeing it now.  I’ll have to wait a day or two before Kelly and I will have time go watch it, but from what I’ve heard it’s pretty good and I’m looking forward to seeing it.

Oh, and none of you jokers better say a word about it to me until I’ve seen it. That is all.
