hey i saw the star-trek movie

it was good, i liked it, but there were some issues


good:

1. uhura
   
2. spock
   
3. uhura/spock
   
4. pretty lights/cgi/etc
   
5. nimoy
   
6. sulu (FENCING) (ALSO MAYBE HE HAD THE HANDBRAKE ON)
   
7. chekov and scotty (and scotty's alien buddy)
   

bad/questionable:

1. i hate jj abrams with the fire of a thousand suns, and this movie did nothing to change that
   
2. MINISKIRTS? REALLY? MINISKIRTS?
   
3. TIME TRAVEL? AGAIN?
   
4. probably failed the Bechdel Test
   
5. after pwning at languages and the dude who had her job before, uhura becomes nothing but an aside after the action starts
   

now if you'll excuse me, i have to go vote, because it's compulsory here.

yeah, but you've got to keep some attributes too. Like Hugh Jackman and his ridiculous Wolverine hair. They worked them out of the neon body suits, but they had to keep a few physical aspects.

Plus (aside from the dress uniforms) a lot of the women wore pants. apocalypsos kept a tally, but it mostly seems to be a Uhura thing.

And I'm totally with you on the hair. What if it got stuck in the automatic doors? Then where would we be?
