I found a theater that offered it with rear window captioning so the OH could see it with me. Now I don't have to go to Wiscon prepared to clap my hands over my ears every five minutes to avoid spoilers.
Watching the movie made me happy. I was entertained.
Sylar gives good Spock. Sylar gives REALLY good Spock.
The rest of the actors did a good job of implying the original characters.
Ttttoooo mmuuccchhhhh sshhhaakkkkkyy ccaaaaammm
I suppose every action movie these days has to have revenge-motivated piratical villains with tribal tattoos and trench coats. But revenge-motivated piratical villains with tribal tattoos and trench coats who are ROMULAN?
I suppose every science fiction thriller these days has to have killer black holes. [*Cue giant sucking sound*]
Uhura-Spock works. A shame that she didn't get to do anything other than be a love interest, because I got the impression the actress would have done a good job with a broader role.
Typically, all the other women in the movie were there to be murdered to make male characters pissed off, or to give birth to male characters.

But Sylar gives such good Spock I was still clutching the armrests.
We did get to watch Uhura's expertise mentioned and apparently used. I didn't feel she was only there as a love interest.
No, but she didn't get to do as much as the male characters.
Yeah! I don't really think Uhura and Spock really talked that much in ST originally. Then (having grown up w/ ST) seeing them in a *relationship*, my brain was all, "WHAT?!"
The break point in the timeline is Kirk's birth. Anyone younger than Kirk is fair game. And since Chekov didn't show up until Season 2 anyway . . .
And he didn't over do it!

Yeah! I was all, "Hold still! I can't see anything"

IMO, some of them were SEXY.
(Nero vs. Cap'n Jack Sparrow?)
My sweetie is hard of hearing and often complains that it's hard to hear dialog in the movie theater and she wishes they had subtitles.
I'd be very interested to know what theater you went to and whether the captioning was acceptable.
We went to Eastridge Mall 15, 2190 Eastridge Loop San Jose. They don't offer captioning for every movie or every showtime.
The OH said that the captions didn't display properly for about 1/4 of the movie, but when they did display, it worked OK for him.
Here are two lists that include open-captioned (captions on screen) and closed-captioned (rear-window captioning) movies:

(If you're in the Bay Area, search for "Oakland")

Send more Bones!
In what LJ entry? /is confused.
My understanding, which I got from Memory Alpha, is that this cast has signed on for two more movies if this one does well. I think it's going to do well.
"Bones, dare I ask what ELSE can you do with those rather long, wide hyposprays?"
There's probably a longer LJ post in this, but all of my early crushes were either doctors or EMTs (McCoy, Johnny Gage in Emergency!) and now, looking back, I can't figure out if I had crushes on them or if I wanted to be them - and if I wanted to be them, what changed?
Embrace the power of and!
(Does this also extend to House?)
I don't think I'm prepared to try to become a doctor at this point in my life, however...
