Teehee. I went out and rented a Star Trek movie. How sad. Actually, although I'm not a Trekkie of any kind, I do like these from time to time. (And all that nearly rhymes. Erm.... thrice-ish.) This was pretty much as solidly entertaining as an episode of the old Star Trek shows - which means yeah, pretty entertaining. Even had a moment at the end that was nearly deep and meaningful... except it's completely blown in the next movie. Oops. And Mum spent the entire first half of the movie (that is, all the time she was awake) making fun of the weird costuming choices. For example, when McCoy goes to visit Kirk and give him his birthday glasses, he (McCoy that is) appears to be wearing tights and a leotard. Later on, Kirk unbuttons one of the buttons on his jacket so a small square of it falls open, revealing a white shirt underneath. However this now looks like he's got a bib fastened around his neck - as in one of those things you put on babies to ensure that when they spill their food it doesn't spoil their nice new clothes. He proceeds to wear it like this for about half the movie. Sheesh. How can you take people seriously when they're wearing baby bibs, leotards, and tights?!
