Will the New Star Trek be Better than the Old?

Published by admin under Movies, TV Show Memory on May 6, 2009

Star Trek (2009), the new movie is coming out this week, and if you grew up watching the show, it’s going to be a double-treat….you’ll have the old shows to compare with the new movie…and with the advancement in movie-making technology, I am sure the difference will be quite extreme!

As a baby boomer I wonder whether I’m going to be captivated by the movie enough to be able to get past Captain James T. Kirk being anyone other than William Shatner, or Spock being any other actor than Leonard Nemoy.  I have great memories of watching the show while growing up, my Dad even enjoyed it and he was pretty picky about television programs, especially if they were shows that his kids liked.

I can admit to you that hubby and I probably won’t go to the first showing at the movies, I’m going to wait for the reviews to come in, and then decide.  If they are fantastic, and seeing Star Trek on the big screen is essential to enjoy the movie, then we’ll go, if not, as we do with most movies, hubby and I will wait for the movie to come out on DVD and rent it somewhere like BLOCKBUSTER .

In fact, if you are young enough to have missed the older Star Trek movies, or the series, I’m sure BLOCKBUSTER will have them available for rental.

If you’ve been to the movie, please let me know what you thought!  Should I run out and watch it on the big screen, or wait to rent the movie on DVD?
