Movie Night
So, a few friends and I went to see Quantum of Solace. Okay movie. Lots of fun action sequences, but it seemed to be missing...something. But I'll save my thoughts on that for another time because the hot topic for "Trekkies" to blog about right now is the new trailer for the upcoming Star Trek movie.

I'll keep my discourse somewhat brief in light of the fact that I'm not in a rambling mood, just a venting mood.

I speculated/complained earlier this year that I expect Stargate: Universe to be some sort of "Stargate Voyager, 90210." Younger, faster, edgier, sexier--and ultimately, for me, more annoying. The trailer left me with the same sort of feeling. That and the mix of the classic TOS styles (e.g. the clothes) with modern styles and special effects struck me as, well, odd. Everything about it seemed so unnecessarily over the top.

I'm sorry, but my sense of style must still be living in the eighties and nineties; I just couldn't get excited about what I saw. I imagine it'll make for a great movie, and since I'm such a franchise nut, I'm going to go see it, no matter what. So, the movie wins by default, I guess.

What did you think?
