Star Trek XI

**Nowhere Man** · 05-08-2009, 10:50 PM

Just got back from the movie, and enjoyed the hell out of it. Though I couldn't help but notice something eerily familiar about the plot structure...

A ruthless villain with an unstoppable planet-destroying superweapon? A troubled farm-boy who never knew his heroic father? A mysterious old hermit letting said farm-boy in on a secret that will be his call to greatness?

So that's how they made Star Trek a blockbuster again--they pulled the plot from the first Star Wars!

Seriously, though, it's a damn fun movie. Great cast, phenomenal effects, and writing that doesn't suck, so thumbs up.
