I went to the cinema today to watch star trek. I whish I could say I liked it more. To be fair, it blew me away in terms of it’s references; yet something does not sit quite comfortably with me. Without wanting to spoil it for anyone, it pretty much renders most of star trek cannon void by radically altering ‘the past’. This creates a paradox which I cannot bring myself to forgive. Sure, it paves the way for sequels, and perhaps in the sequel they’ll put the paradox right, but I left the theatre mildly disappointed. It’s great to see the franchise back, and I loved the little touches – we now know the fate of captain Archer’s dog – but, on the whole, I cant say I liked this film as much as I wanted to.
