So I've recently fallen for what seems to be a series of films called Star Trek. The new version from 2009 of course. I decided to see it because of my new found love for Chris Pine after watching ROTG and a comedy film called This means war and since I've heard many great things about the film.. and guess what? It was amazing! Therefor, I've now gotten into an entire new fandom, the Star Trek one. 

 

 

So yesterday I went with my dad to see the sequel. I went with my dad because he himself is a Star Trek nerd (the old series) and I thought it would be funnier to go with someone who knows about it rather then someone who's not really involved. Also.. my dad's amazing so.. why wouldn't I want to go with him? 

 

Anyways.. This movie was just as awesome as the first one, It was funny and beautiful to watch and of course we also got the wonderful soundtrack with it! Though.. unfortunately there were more things that disturbed me in this movie than in the first one and one major one was all the bloody sexual scenes between Kirk and some other woman.. they were unneccessary and so painfully cliché I cringed everytime. I didn't even like them in the first movie and there it only happened like.. once. Here we even had one scene between a supposebly smart woman and him talking about their next move and all of the sudden they have to make it sexual with her having to change in front of him. 

 

Another thing that I didn't even like in the first film comes with a name.. Nyota Uhura.. I'm sorry.. but she annoyed the crap out of me the first time and in this movie.. specially in the scene when she gets upset over the fact that Spock "didn't even think about us when you were about to die" as if that would be the most logical thing to think about when you're about to die... Ugh.. she just.. annoyed me... 

 

But other than that.. I will forever love Kirk and Spock's bromance and they had some very lovely scenes in this. And hey major spoiler but.. I was actually a bit dissapointed about them managing to revive Kirk after he died. Don't get me wrong.. I didn't want him to die when it happened.. but it's just.. they always do this.. The main character dies and then all of the sudden they don't.. and it would just be a nice twist if sometime they just you know.. stay dead. xD I am really looking forward to a new one though.. and I did like Benedict as Khan even though I towards the end started thinking "Just die already". Sorry. 

 

It was still a pretty damn good film and Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto is a lovely combination. 8/10
