Just got back from Star Trek - I got sappy

[cellboy]

1. Made it to the Metreon, a bit late due to bad traffic and a bus accident, so the IMax was sold out
2. Saw it on the reg screen. But will go again, mid week for an IMax viewing
3. I did get sappy in two parts;
4. The beginning when we first see the starship, I got a big lump in my throat. Impressive.
5. And at the end, when they started to play the old theme song (I actually got teary eyed)
6. Guess it's because, I remember, at the age of 13, watching the first season (what ever happened to my starship model I so lovingly built?)
7. At 13 yrs old, I was not really paying too much attention, to every detail, but the show was my fave.
8. And today, whether it is Canon or not, I still enjoyed it. Had all the adventure, and bit of humor it has always had.
9. I just wonder why they had Spock narrate the ending sequence rather than William Shatner (or at least replay the old sound byte. (Legalities?)
10. Was a good view

Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before.

PS I believe they said "no one", instead of "no man has gone before" :(

Because Nimoy was in the film and Shatner wasn't and it made much more sense to have Spock do it. And Shatner made such an ass of himself over the whole thing from the minute with was announced they were doing this movie...

Yeah, I figured that. But for memories sake, it would of been nice. In fact I vaguely remember that Shatner has had many run ins with the Star Trek thing for years???
