Star Trek movie
I found a theater that offered it with rear window captioning so the OH could see it with me. Now I don't have to go to Wiscon prepared to clap my hands over my ears every five minutes to avoid spoilers.
Watching the movie made me happy. I was entertained.
Sylar gives good Spock. Sylar gives REALLY good Spock.
The rest of the actors did a good job of implying the original characters.
Ttttoooo mmuuccchhhhh sshhhaakkkkkyy ccaaaaammm
I suppose every action movie these days has to have revenge-motivated piratical villains with tribal tattoos and trench coats. But revenge-motivated piratical villains with tribal tattoos and trench coats who are ROMULAN?
I suppose every science fiction thriller these days has to have killer black holes. [*Cue giant sucking sound*]
Uhura-Spock works. A shame that she didn't get to do anything other than be a love interest, because I got the impression the actress would have done a good job with a broader role.
Typically, all the other women in the movie were there to be murdered to make male characters pissed off, or to give birth to male characters.

Or! To be lust-objects for James "Horndog" Kirk! The running gag had his head whipping around anytime a cute female walked by. The joke was on him though, because he didn't actually get any (onscreen).
Karl Urban was so wonderful as McCoy I about cried. And seven-year-old Spock was freaking adorable.
This movie passes the Bechdel Rule, you realize. Juuuust barely. Uhura exchanges two lines with her roommate about her job. THEN they talk about a man.
Also I looked up "rear window captioning" -- way cool, I didn't know that existed!

You know, I've seen a lot of movies like this, to the point where I wonder whether the scriptwriters/editors know about the Bechdel Rule and deliberately put in one or two lines to squeak by, without actually having any meaningful communication.
