It's getting harder and harder to keep this blog more... updated! :) Sometimes I think about micro-blogging like Twitter... but the problem is I write too much! ehehAnyway, I've started my summer blockbuster movie tour with the latest movie from JJ Abrams "Star Trek".
Honestly I was expecting more. I know the first reviews are very positive, most of the fans are happy with this new version... but I believe this is a typical Hollywood reboot of an old franchise.
You take a young cast, rock music, lots of action.... some popcorns, et voilá! Even the bad guys weren't bad enough to convince me! eheh
It's interesting to see how they tell the Star Trek origins, how do they get all together... still everything goes too fast. Let's put this differently: several kids finish university in different field in engineering, maths, etc... and they are asked to control a nuclear power plant which is about to "explode". But, hey, it's cinema... anything goes! eheheh
I enjoyed the story as a whole, the opening sequence, the effects, some shaky-cam action sequences (others look like coming from a Power Rangers episode), the "real" Leonard "Spock" Nimoy... but it's a movie targeting the new generations of moviegoers! :)
After "Mission Impossible III", "Cloverfield" or even some "Lost" episodes, I was expecting that "something else" à la JJ Abrams ;)
I was waiting to go "where no man has gone before"... maybe for the sequel! eheh
I recommend you to watch this on a big screen, as a summer blockbuster movie with popcorns.
Beam me up, Scotty!

My friend, this is one of my "Will not waste my time" movies. Never been a "trekkie" and I think that some stories had their moment... Why not create new things and stop recycling stuff just for the money?
Anyway, thanks for the tip. Hope you find the time to see more (and better) movies!
