5/8/09 Weekend Movie Releases

This past weekend, Wolverine ruled the day. With over $80mil it is bound to see a strong second weekend. How strong, though? Well, we are about to find out. Nonetheless, there is one film which has been receiving tons of nerd attention: Star Trek.

Although this film is likely to have some limited appeal, nerds always come out in great numbers for their beloved stories. I’m sure this one will be no different, especially since it is based off the original. Both old and young nerds should be fleeing to the theater, but, we shall see.

Star Trek
I basically gave away what this film is about, but let’s talk a little more. This new film is about the young fleet, several years before the beginning of the TV show. It shows how Kirk and company became who they are, their first battle, and their first travel through space together. It all sounds great, right? I think so. I desperately want to watch this film, but probably won’t be able to for at least a couple weeks.

So what do you think? Will the new Star Trek be up to snuff?
