Star Trek and the New Yorker

Star Trek has opened to both popular and critical acclaim. Based on the numbers at Rotten Tomatoes, it is viewed highly by  almost everyone.

One exception is Anthony Lane. His review, Highly Illogical, is so cranky it is a joy to read. I get the sense that he hates Star Trek, and yet, for whatever reason, had to review it. The title of his review is perfect, for that’s what his review is.

There have been many different productions of Star Trek: some good, some bad. Not only is this one really good, but it will appeal both to fans of Star Trek and those who just want to have fun at the movies. I recommend you boldly go and see it, if you haven’t already.

I also recommend you read Lane’s review. I read it after seeing the film and had a great laugh. You will too.
