Star Trek (the new movie)

Okay, BH and I played hooky this afternoon to see the new movie. If you thought I was going to squee about it, please take another look at the icon for this entry. I did have some things I liked, and some things I didn't like. I will do my best to separate them so that you can read what you want and skip the rest.

If you already made a post on the movie, feel free to put a link in the comments! I know some people don't like it if you do that, so I wanted to make it clear I'm fine with it. I know a number of my friends have posted, but I can't remember whom specifically.

Both parts have major spoilers! Don't read until you've seen the movie, unless you want to be thoroughly spoiled.

( Here's what I liked )

( Oh, Roberto Orci, No! )

What I hope most of all is that the movie brings people back to the original series. I hope to have time to watch some on DVD this summer—and share them with Small Child.

Star Trek: and another thing!

I went looking for "red matter" to see if they'd made it up just for the movie and found this: Bad Astronomy Reviews Star Trek. In a nutshull, Phil Plait enjoyed the movie, and he even found some good science. He found a lot of bad science, too. (Thanks to or_mabinogi for the Bad Astronomy blogger's name!)

From him I learned that "red matter" is totally made up.

Warning: the review is chock-full of spoilers!
