Macgirl's Media Pick of the Week: Star Trek (2009)

I had a long list for Santa this holiday season.  One of the few movie choices I hoped for was Star Trek.  This film is so much fun. The acting is fresh (especially Spock) and it has a great overall style and feel.  Although different from the classic Trek I loved growing up, JJ Abrams managed to bridge the divide between new and old fans in this film. 

I really enjoyed it in the theaters, and hoped it would translate to the small screen. 

My early reaction: yes.  Yes it does.  And then some.  It may be better in some ways.  It feels more like it's classic predecessors on my television, like that's where it belongs.  I think this is a super fun sci-fi flick.  Just don't take it too seriously, and you'll be fine.
