The new STAR TREK movie

As my brother will tell you - it takes A LOT to get me excited about a movie. but - I spent my lunch hour today - downloading and then dissecting the new trailer for "STAR TREK" coming out May 9th. It looks like they are amping up the action a great deal. It is very smart of them to cast young actors that have been hits with their generation - because it'll draw an entirely new group as well as the hardcore lifelong trekkers. It looks to be the core story of Kirk and Spock meeting - with some character development in new ways for the other main crew. One of the stills I cut was Sulu in a sword fight with someone. Now - we all know trailers - but it looks to me like Uhura and Kirk are romantically involved. I think JJ Abrams is going to rock this story super hard. I'm so excited!!!!!
