Spock Is a Total Babe.

May 12th, 2009
by zariat.

Last night i made it out to see the new Star Trek movie with a posse of friends, acquaintances, and friends of friends in the IMAX theater at the Metreon in SF. We were a group of about 20, and thanks to Whit arriving an hour early to claim a spot in line, we had VIP primo seating in the very center of the theater.

So - in case you haven’t seen it yet - i won’t give away any plot details. Suffice it to say the dialogue was extremely witty, the special effects were everything i hoped for, and i had a fantastic time. The characters were endearing… my personal favorite being the new Spock. I had a total geek-crush on him for most of the movie, thanks to his makeover as a hot young head-of-the-class back in Starfleet Academy. I heard Kirk was supposed to be the frontrunner for hot new star, but his character was most memorable for the childhood scenes. No spoilers, but let’s just say he has an incredible personal soundtrack moment.

My section of our three-row-deep seating was the self-titled MST3K section… meaning we felt the urge to comment mercilessly throughout the film. Dustin and Matt kept me in stitches from the opening scene to the closing credits. Sitting with us was my new friend Lorna Li, who I met online through her blog posts and Twitter. I hope she was amused by our bad jokes… Or at least not too annoyed? I think Eric might also have had a bit much of our witty banter… heh.

At any rate, this movie was an epic win for geeks everywhere. The more you know about the original, the more inside jokes will make sense. However, i felt that any moviegoer could get into the storyline, classic sci-fi gadgets, and abundant explosions. If you’re into that sort of thing.

I consciously avoided all the trailers for the film before seeing it, and i’m glad i did. However, if you’re up for a total sequence of spoilers, this ought to do it:
