nalablack and her husband to see Star Trek today. I was more or less prepared to hate it. In fact, my stated expectation level was: please be better than Star Trek V. And as many people know, odd-numbered Star Trek movies have a tendency to suck.
That said, this movie was not bad. I know, I'm surprised too. There was a decent balance of drama and humor, plenty of action (even if it went over the top at times), and the characters were recognizable. They also provided a reasonable explanation for why everything is different from Star Trek canon.
At work, someone tried to organize an "Offsite Seminar on Advanced Spaceflight Operations" on Friday, though that plan fell apart due to an all-hands meeting at the same time. But there is talk of trying again next week, and I think I'll probably go, as this should be a pretty cool movie to see on IMAX.
Spoiler-filled review to follow.
