Ok you space geeks, firstly, a spoiler alert. DO NOT READ if you haven’t seen the movie and really want to! But if you don’t care, and you want to read some of this magic, then read on my friend. Read on.

So, J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek …the reboot… the much needed jolt to the Star Trek brand… is …pardon the extended metaphor… electrifying (said in a John Travolta from Grease kinda way). This movie rocks the socks off Spock. Great story telling, great FX, and tongue is firmly in cheek on this one. I was feeling this movie from the first minute. Kirk is great, funny, self deprecating, and gives nods to Shatner’s start and stop delivery. Spock is spocky, and Uhura is hot. The bad guy is bad, the space fights are badder, but midway I started realizing something. This new STAR TREK is not a remake of older STAR TREKS, but is really a remake of TOP GUN!!! I said it. Kirk is the maverick Tom Cruise-y character, with the renegade attitude, gifted natural ability and living in the shadow of his father. Spock is the Val Kilmer not liking Kirk because “he’s dangerous”. And the whole movie revolves around their BROMANTIC relationship. All we were missing was a Kenny Loggins tune. (if you see the movie a second time, sing DANGERZONE during the space fights… it works!!!) Bruce Greenwood… who we have had at the MuchMore environment is the Tom Skerrit-surrogate father figure… and as soon as they graduate from Starfleet Academy… they have to go fight the mother of all bogeys played by Eric Bana. Talk to me goose.
