And I thought you were in my other thread - I was very clear that I completely understand that I'm in the minority on this. However, I cannot understand your position - the people that never watched TOS, I get it - it was lens flarey and modern and full of well-shot, but incomprehensible action scenes - I get that. However, for actual TOS fans (and my house is full of them) who also like the movie? Completely baffle me.

He captured the spirit of the original series...sure TOS was high minded with it's storytelling. But at the end of the day it was about Jim Kirk kicking someone's arse and sleeping with the hot alien chick usually after he ripped his shirt. The new movie captured the adventure of the original series almost perfectly.

My wife, who also came up on the TOS, isn't as big of a fan of the new movie...her comment is usually that it was a nice story but there is only one jim kirk.
