$\"star_trek_poster1\"$ <\/p>\n

As you may recall reading in an earlier post, Holy Spirit Parish in Fremont, CA (Diocese of Oakland) has a 135-seat theater (see Holy Spirit Parish Fremont, CA<\/a>). Deacon Bill Drobik attended a press screening for Star Trek<\/strong><\/em> a few days ago and sent me his review. He has graciously given me permission to post it.:<\/p>\n

Jimmy Olson (aka Deacon Bill Drobik), your Cub Reporter, had these thoughts from the screening:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m old enough to remember the TV series Star Trek and confess that I have some original episodes of Star Trek on my Apple TV drive at home.\u00a0 That makes me old enough to have grandchildren, and pre-qualified to draw an analogy to what I saw at the spectacular IMAX preview at the Metreon in San Francisco last night.\u00a0 What a thrill!<\/p>\n

In a few words, the film exceeds expectations. It may well be said by real journalists that the storyline, casting and acting are the real strength in Star Trek<\/em>, and not the digital extravaganza we were expecting. No matter what your locus as far as Sci-Fi, Star Trek<\/em>, Star Wars or Star Tours at the Happiest Place on Earth, there is much to like about this film.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It begins with birthing, a most worthy launch point.\u00a0 In the middle of a deadly battle, we see the courage and emotion of a franchise being given life.\u00a0 It\u2019s just enough to give us a sniff of Kirk before we get grounded in the strength of Spock\u2019s character arc.\u00a0 Zachary Quinto is outstanding as Spock, being cast in a bold new way.\u00a0 Entertainment Weekly\u2019s Summer Movie Preview told of how J.J. Abrams had two big fears in making this movie, finding the courage to tell Leonard Nimoy how to play the character (who appears through the magic of time travel) and how to reach today\u2019s \u201cslick and irony-wired audiences.\u201d\u00a0 I don\u2019t know how many takes the director needed to get Quinto so glib, but he\u2019s outstanding in delivering his lines with such precision while wrestling with his human emotions.<\/p>\n

The second concern of Abrams, about the audience was more than met by the digital wizardry being more ready to play.\u00a0 During a space battles I felt the force of the bass sounds slapping my adam\u2019s apple more than a few times.\u00a0 Stunning visuals, believable technology.\u00a0 Consider the fact that the tricorder was the forerunner of today\u2019s \u201cclam shell\u201d cell phone.\u00a0 As a Star Trek fan, I probably didn\u2019t need a clever dialogue to make me happy.\u00a0 But as the people around me constantly chuckled during the movie, I sensed that they were, in fact, an \u201cirony-wired\u201d audience.\u00a0 I felt every bit of the grandfather as I watched how many young adults took in the preview.\u00a0 But I was so elated to see the \u201cfaith\u201d in this franchise being passed on to this upcoming age of fathers and mothers of children for whom this could be their new Star Wars, a movie grandchild with the legs to go the distance, not just a wind sprint.<\/p>\n

The secret to this film, in Jimmy Olson\u2019s opinion, and what carries the day for those seeking a witty dialogue, is in the casting and acting.\u00a0 I suspect an award by the Academy could find its way here for casting.\u00a0 And not just because of strong resemblance to the ethnicity or demeanor of the characters.\u00a0 The storyline and punch of the supporting actors is such a treat!\u00a0 I don\u2019t remember seeing such a courageous birth to Chekov or Sulu, for example, but I have to believe those actors gave thanks to God when they got their script.\u00a0 Whatever Harrison Ford felt when he got the chance to be Han Solo might be a way to describe what this movie gives birth to.\u00a0 In Entertainment Weekly, Abrams is quoted as saying \u201cPeople are going to love these characters again.\u201d\u00a0 He is spot-on.\u00a0 Is he old enough to be a grandfather?<\/p>\n
