So the new Star Trek is thrilling. It was much better than I was expecting, even knowing that it had a 96% approval rating on Rottentomatoes.com. The story does have more than its share of tenuous logic, but the characters are so winning, the scenes so entertaining, and the effects so breathtaking (especially — holy crap — on an IMAX screen) that you just won’t care. When it was over, I gladly would have sat there for a second showing if I could have, and maybe even a third. I can’t even remember the last time I would have said that about a movie.
