Hey Sadia!
How is it that you and I happen to like most of the same films? And love your sig.
I just thought I'd drop in since I've been following this thread since I saw Star Trek for the first time last Wednesday and post something.
After seeing the film, I can't believe I was so against it when it first came out. I think I did so because I knew it was going to be one of those fan films and I didn't want to get caught up in what everyone else. Even though Chris Pine and Karl Urban were in it, two men that I absolutely love and have loved for years.
But when I finally saw it, I just fell. I can't even say. I had to go back to the theater the next day and see it again, I was completely hooked and fledging on obsessed with it. I desperately want to see it again, as does my brother and father so I may convince them to go sometime this week.
Now, I never watched the original series, nor the original films, but I knew enough from reading about them and flipping through channels to have a basic understanding of who everyone was and the atmosphere going into it. But I am definitely a fan of this film, most prominently the relationship between Kirk and Bones (love them).
And, oh my gosh, the cinematography of this film. Like someone mentioned, how beautiful the scenes were when the camera panned out into space and showed the majesty of it with the opponent ships. So beautiful. And the acting was superb, which I was not expecting.
Just curious, does anyone know if there are sequels planned? If so, is the cast contracted to return in their roles?
