BRACE FOR IMPACT
The newest trailer for the upcoming Star Trek movie, helmed by J.J. Abrams of "Lost" fame, shows again
how story trumps everything.
Here's the clip to see what I mean:
The line that got me the most was of course the kindly mentor talking to the young Kirk after he'd just been in a bar fight, about his father (spoiler alert):
"Your father was the Captain of a Starship for 12 minutes. He saved 800 lives, including yours. I dare you to do better. Enlist in Starfleet."
Wow, what a whopper of a re-introduction to the Star Trek story.
As powerful as the "Earn this" line by Tom Hanks at the end of "Saving Private Ryan".
We all yearn for good stories, told and re-told again.
The new Star Trek movie, may well be on it's way to do this better than the 10 Star Trek movies preceding it. Looking forward to 5.08.09.
I forgot about that line in Saving Private Ryan. Wow. Powerful. Quote from Abraham Lincoln at the end amazing.
