Second Time Review: Star Trek

The first time I saw Star Trek I absolutely loved it. It was a knock you out of your chair, thrill ride that reminds you how much it can be to fly around the stars. Importantly, its a reboot that focuses on getting you to like the characters, and want to root for them. From there, all else is possible. That said, upon second viewing the movie is a little less coherent. Star Trek does a great job of taking you along for the ride, and never stopping to ask itself, "does what I'm saying make any sense?" And that's fine. Because when you're having that much fun its a drag to tell yourself to slow down and be responsible. Kirk plays fast and loose with the rules, and so should the movie.
