“Putting a much-loved but over-the-hill vehicle back in shape takes more than a new battery and a lick of paint. It demands a full-bore refit, and that’s exactly what J.J. Abrams has given “Star Trek.” – Ray Bennett in The Hollywood Reporter. Seems like quite a few of the reviews of the new Trek film appearing online have been pretty positive so far. I may have to take my pointy ears out of storage. As the movie’s PR machine goes into full swing for the May release I also noticed the first wave of Star Trek movie merch arriving in our stores this week – the 12″ version of the Spock figure is especially cool. Pondering if I have enough room on my desk for one more figure… The BBC has pictures from the UK premiere up on its site.
