Saw Star Trek in IMAX at AMC Eastridge in East San Jose yesterday. I was not a Trekkie. Never seen a single episode of any of the tv shows. Saw a few movies but never cared for them and don't remember much about them. I couldn't tell a Vulcan from a Romulan. But man, I love this reboot! It's funny, action-packed, and touching in all the right places. I love all the characters: the swaggering James T Kirk, the emotionally repressed Spock, the coy and sexy Uhura, the who-knew-he-could-kick-ass Sulu, the irritable McCoy, the hilarious Scottie, and the boyish and heavily-accented Chekov. I also love how the parallel time-continuum concept now allows them to boldly go where the previous series and movies have never gone. I am a fan now. Dare I say it, but my first movie summer 2009 is even better than last yr's (Iron Man).
P.S. Yesterday, aside from being a good movie day, was also a good eating day. Had beef stew ho fun and avocado boba drink at Pho Hoa Hiep @ Westlake before the movie. Then had Mojo burger (Snell Avenue in San Jose location) and an orange creamsicle shake for dinner, and then a snow azuki at Hello Desserts afterwards. Yum. I love eating throughout the entire day.
