Previously at Dragon*con my Star Trek experiences have been less than memorable and I believe this was due to the fact that the Star Trek franchise was in a coma.
Dammit Jim, he’s a doctor not a miracle worker!
Alas, he worked miracles. Bones was just one of the extraordinary captures of the film. I found each of the actors, in their respective roles, brought something fresh to the character without compromising what we loved about the original actors portrayal.
The first time you see Chris Pine as Kirk slump down to the side in the captains chair. You feel just as relaxed and excited as you did when Shatner did it. He exudes the cool confidence you have come to expect and hold dear. It is as if you’ve slipped into your favorite childhood pajamas that magically now fit you as an adult. It is so familiar and so comforting, yet the feel of it is also very new.
Fans of the show should be pleased with the twists and turns as long as they remember not to judge until the story starts unfolding (as many things get explained later). New fans will feel enchanted by the magic and power and emotion that drives the story from one scene to the next. Old fan, or new, there is much laughing to be had and much tears to shed, all taking place during the intense fight scenes.
In a day and age of bad movies, this is most certainly worth your hard earned money. I expect I will find a rebirth of fans at the next Dragon*con.
Yeah, I'm for real - it's a thing..
Anyone who knows me knows what a Gambit girl I am.
I have to say that the actor was missing the Cajun accent, but other than that i am very pleased. Very. VERY!
Saw it twice this weekend. I would see it again in a heartbeat.
Brian invited me to a party with the 501st (Star Wars elite costumers). I really wanted to go but it was late and I had to drive an hour home still - so I declined. But still, to be invited was really special to me. These people are respected with top-notch respect in the SW world.
We had a good time at Wolverine. I had fits of happiness everytime Gambit showed up on screen. Anyone who knows my Xmen taste knows what a Gambit fan I am. I will post a review later.
For now - I am headed to bed. I am really tired.
