STAR TREK the movie

"captain's log--star date 050509."

"these are the voyages of the starship enterprise. its continuing mission--to explore strange new worlds. to seek out new life and new civilizations. to boldly go where no one has gone before."

yeah... growing up, i was definitely into star trek--the next generation, voyager, and deep space nine. (its all my brother's fault. he's the one who had contests with me to see who could name the most species. he always won. nerd.) while i don't watch it as often anymore, i simply can't turn on my heritage and NOT go to the new movie coming out on may 7th: STAR TREK.

ruth and i already have our tickets. (what?! we don't want to risk not having a seat opening night. hahaha.) a bunch of us are going. i can't wait. now i've got an excuse to break out my tricorder. i'm just kidding... i wouldn't want to risk damaging it at the theater. hahaha.

will you be there?

update (05/12/09): two thumbs and two big toes up. LOVED the movie--the energy, the humor, the thrills--all of it. my favorite characters were spock, mccoy, and scotty. they did an excellent job with their roles. and there were so many moments that totally took me back to my childhood. like spock with his "live long and prosper" and scotty's "i'm giv'n yer all she's got!". so great. you've got to see it.
