Washington Post Review

Funny Review from the Washington Post:

Let us pray.

Lord of "Star Trek" and its many spinoffs, we thank thee for a movie that, against all odds, has miraculously resurrected a wheezing but beloved and still-relevant franchise.

We thank thee for an origin story that, unlike such recent downers featuring the Incredible Hulk and Wolverine, pays affectionate respect to its source material but never falls into slavish worship or, worse, self-seriousness.

Well I'll be damned - I was sure the Post would turn thumbs down.

The marketing campaign for the movie has suggested this is "not your dad's 'Star Trek.' " That's wrong -- no middle-aged Trekkie will be able to hold back tears when the Enterprise first comes into view. Rather, this 11th installment of the movie franchise, the first in seven years, is not just your dad's "Star Trek."

And that puts that to rest.

That was a cool review. I like the little prayer.
