Very Pleasantly Surprised

I always make fun of people who like sci-fi movies. They have always rubbed me the wrong way. I have always said that anyone who likes those movies is weird. I guess I'm weird now. This was a really good movie. I think I've only seen one Star Trek movie before this one (and not in its entirety) so I really can't make any comparisons. However, standing alone this was quite brilliant. Every moment was--well, a moment. It was intense, funny, action-packed. What more can one ask for? I also, truly truly appreciate the non-love story between Chris Pine and Zoe Saldana. I don't know that I have ever seen a movie where the girl was with the other guy and was really truly with the other guy. That was great. I'm not sure why I didn't give this four stars. Maybe if I see it again I'll change my mind. But this was definitely a good one. I see many MTV Moon Man's in Star Trek's future.
