Thanksgiving Weekend viewing part 1

I, like most people, had a very busy Thanksgiving weekend.  I had food to eat, bargains to find and Christmas decorations to get out.  In the middle of all this craziness, I did find time to watch 2 movies.  And neither of them had to do with the Twilight Saga.  Well, actually one of them had a connection to the Twilight Saga but we will get to that one later.

The first DVD I watched was the new Star Trek movie.  I have seen the majority of the Star Trek films that are out.  When I orginally heard about this prequel I was very excited about it.  I didn't get around to seeing it in the theaters so I had to wait for the DVD. 

This Star Trek movie tells the beginnings of the Starship Enterprise and all of the characters from the original series.  The film makers did a brilliant job casting these actors.  You could really believe they were the younger versions of the characters we have come to love.  It is absolutely eerie how much Zachary Quinto, the actor who plays Spock,  looks like Leonard Nemoy.  They could be father and son.

I enjoyed this movie a lot.  The plot was a little confusing, but I can't really say I understood any plot of a Star Trek film.  It didn't take away from the film at all.  I am a big fan of J. J . Abrams who directed this film.  He did a wonderful job.  The action was great.  I really wish I had seen it on the big screen.  I bet it was really cool.  I am eagerly hoping they will make a sequel to this film.  I would definately go see that one.
