Look to the stars

Hello all you out in the great expanse

After many weeks I finally got to see the movie Star Trek. It was an okay movie. The thing that confused me was the new aliens. Granted they were not major characters, but they had cameos of these aliens I had never seen. I know that in each movie they bring out some new species. I thought the movie was supposed to take place early in the series. I don't know, granted I am not much on my trek history.

Another thing was that Kirk was always hanging over a drop. He would do something crazy, that eventually became heroic, and then end up having to hang on. I guess that is why he is up in the stars because he has trouble keeping his feet on the ground.

I don't mind the time shift. It does not bother me. That has been a plot that is used often in science fiction. It has even been on soap operas, in the guise of dream sequences.

I had been looking forward to seeing GI Joe. It may wait until it leaves the first run theatres. the previews do not really make me want to see the movie. I probably will just to see what it is about, but I am not going to break the bank to see it. From what I seen online, people are giving the movie a hard time. At least the movie had a fan with my brother.
