The New Star Trek Film

I've seen some spy shots of shooting locations, and I've read some supposed plot spoilers, but I am reserving my judgment until I see the movie. However, there are rumblings in the blog-verse that Abrams may be changing too many things.

One of my favorite bloggers, Wil Wheaton, says it better than I:

On one hand, this could be Abrams saying, "I'm going to take Star Trek and make it relevant to an audience that hasn't loved it and watched it for 40 years." That's not necessarily a bad thing.

On the other hand, it could be him saying, "Look, Trekkies, I know you've been watching this show for 40 years, but I'm JJ Fucking Abrams and if I want to 'reinvent' this thing that means so much to you, I'm going to do it. So don't get your spacesuits in a knot when I put turbines on the Enterprise, okay? They look cool!" That would be a very bad thing.

I guess we'll all have to wait and see.
