Oh, so I finally saw the New Star Trek

And I have to say I liked it. I liked all the nods to the source material. I liked the pacing of the story and the effects were outstanding.

I loved the feel of the Enterprise. How the sections like the Bridge were very completed looking but sections like engineering looked uncompleted and industrial with lots of pipes. There were times the uncompleted or rough areas felt more like an industrial factory and not a star ship though.

I loved Spook and I didn't see Sylar at all which was one of my fears. I did like the Spook/Uhura match though it felt like it came out of the blue.

I didn't like Kirk. To me he came across as a bully rather than a maverick but I'm willing to give the next movie a watch as well.

And is there anything better than seeing a federation vessel with phasers and torpedoes blazing? I hope Sulu and Chekov get some air time next movie and I loved McCoy and Scotty.

This was a fun blast from my High School days

io9.com's Cyriaque Lamar makes The ultimate 1980s scifi and fantasy movie mixtape.

Highlights for me:
Stan Bush's The Touch from Tranformers: The Movie. Michael Bay will never be able to top the terror of the Decepticons reflected in Optimus Prime's grill as he is running them over.

Bauhaus's Bela Legosi's Dead from The Hunger. I love how much texture this song has. What's amazing about the song is they didn't use samples, it's all them or instruments. The audio on the clip they used isn't very good though. Here's a better one.

Gerard McMacc's Cry Little Sister from Lost Boys. I don't think any vampire movie has topped this one for me. Coppola's Dracula was close.

Harry Belafonte's Jump in Line from Beetlejuice. Was this really the best song for an underage Winno Ryder to be dancing to?

Queen's Princes of the Universe from Highlander, the movie they never made any sequels to in my world. This whole soundtrack is awesome btw.

But enough of me, how about you? Or what's missing from the list?
