One of the great successes I have really enjoyed is the Star Trek reboot. Of course the old films with their so-bad-its-good schtick were great in there own way, but there are only so many times you can see a bunch of geriatrics in girdles climbing plastic rock faces.
I think the humour that Simon Pegg has brought is right on the money, and the rest of the casting has been inspired too. The only bit that makes me cringe is the in the first one when the ships computer cant understand Chekovs Russian accent; come on Hollywood, laughing at 'funny foreigners' is juvenile and its the flippin 23rd century, Siri would have improved at least a little bit!
I've enjoyed those too. They've all had a similar plot with some single enemy to take on, but they can do the effects so much better these days. I've been watching Discovery lately. That's good, even if some of the ideas are a bit weird. Will be interested to see how it links in with the original series
You can only have good 'goodies' if you have well defined 'baddies', ha ha. There is a new Pacific Rim on the way, Im not sure how they can make a plot for another one, but lets see if it works.
