These words take me back to my school days; days when we had a black and white television with just 2 channels. Few things don’t change and childhood favorites remain lifetime memories. “Star Trek” had a similar impact on me when I was a kid and now when I am not a kid.
I watched the latest Star Trek and loved it. It is a high energy, adventurous and fun filled movie. It has a nice blend of old and new generation Star Trek. While the key characters are retained as they were, few new faces make it interesting and don’t spoil the main crew of the enterprise. The story is kept simple and a few complicated parts are covered up with time travel. The black hole concept is used to nicely explain the various elements of past and present. Overall, a Star Trek fan should be rejuvenated with the new blockbuster. I will call it the prequel to the original series of Star Trek as it explains the formation of the awesome crew of the enterprise; it explains how it got Kirk, Spock, Sulu, Dr. Mccoy, Uthura and Scottie together.
There are few things that didn’t annoy me but certainly were unnecessary. Spock and emotions don’t go hand in hand. There is no need for any affection unless there is sequel to the entire idea. Also, please don’t change the original narration. I loved it the way it was. They changed it from “a five year mission” to “an ongoing mission”. And they also changed the catch phrase, “to boldly go where no man has gone before”. They are trying to be politically correct over here and have changed it to “to boldly go where noone has gone before.” Some things should be left untouched. They are beautiful the way they always were.
Here is the original narration for the fans.
And whoever changed the opening narration was out of their Vulcan mind...
