You know, there's something I feel I have to say. I've recently seen a movie for the first time in years and I found it immensely more enjoyable to watch this time around.
Star Trek: Generations.
That's right.
I said it.
This is totally my favorite movie of all time ever. Forever. Until the end of time. Do you know why? Because it's shot like an action movie, given a plot with stupid wholesome Star Trek- themes of friendship and honor and legacy, and given the production value it deserves to make the FX pretty damn cool. You know what? You love it too. I know it.
It has action, it's funny, plus it's above-all believable with the technobabble and plausibility to my over-imaginative brain. Now, maybe this is just because I'm a big dork and I understand the physics behind most of the things they say, but I find it kind of entertaining because it makes me think as to how those things might be possible. This sorta stuff is served to me on a platter of actors selling the scenes directly on the line between realistic and self-deprecating makes it all more palatable.
Now, I'm not the type of guy who would ever attend a Star Trek convention or dress up for Hallowe'en (but I think I did paint myself brown and wear a visor when I was 6 as Geordi LaForge LOL), but I think I'm a good representative of the average Star Trek viewer and I'm damn proud of it. I'm not going to keep quiet any longer.
I like Star Trek. So sue me. I'm not a nerd, a loser, or *********ing much more than I should be. I'm a normal guy. I order hot wings and pizza when I get lazy. I get drunk and watch sports at the bar. I surf the internet, but not an inordinate amount. I get a good amount of exercise and I eat healthy most of the time. I have good social skills, a steady job, a bunch of cool friends, and I make a conscious effort not to be a tremendous dork.
This movie, which I can guarantee you is aimed directly at my demographic, is so much fun and so much awesome that I will always love it.
But that's my favorite movie. Yours? Reasons why? How bout most hated movie?
