I will never forget my facial expression when I first found out that they were making a new Star Trek movie redoing the original Star Trek. I remember telling my dad and he was equally excited.
So I waited and waited for the trailer with actual footage (not that lame trailer with the logo of Star Trek and saying coming 2009). I saw the trailer and was like oh NOOO, they chose the wrong actors to play Kirk and Spock...THEY ARE GIRLY. When I think of the original Kirk and Spock, I think of the man and vulcan...not girly man and vulcan with blush. I mean this was only first glance. I saw a movie with Chris Pine (who is playing Kirk) and I didnt think he was that good of an actor, but you know minds can change, even mine. Now the second trailer that came out I took back my "girly" complant and felt better that I saw Spock putting someone in a vulcan death grip, I felt a smile upon my face. Now I need to be convinced the Chris Pine can pull off Kirk.
You know I could just be a little paranoid because I want this movie done well...I mean really well. I won't to come from this movie and want to put it in my list of my favorite movies. I want my father and I to quote this movie for years to come, just like we do the original series. I have faith in the people of this film, for my sake I want at least 3 stars.
