EPTthat is the question.
so Star Trek premieres in a week or two. I don't plan on watching it for the vision of the future, it's a bit too elaborate and technical which means that its probably more a techies fantasy than anything else, however the characters of the story are spellbinding.
imagine the universe in its vastness with empires, and unknown civilizations, and through it all a small band of unlikely talented individuals brought together by a simple oath of duty to nation, or creed, fulfill the defense and expansion of their nation's dreams.
some have individual dreams, others dream for others.
it is unlikely that an spontaneous ingenious rebellious outcast leader would ever be great friends with a calm, intellectual, logical thinking outcast son of a noble house from a world so far that they would only visit each other's planets a few times in their lifetime,
would ever be friends.
they argue, they conflict on every god-damn issue. the leaders decisions are met with disagreement by the logical thinker at every turn.
and yet in the end they value each other more than nation or creed.
i find a story about the depth of our connection to the universe quite attractive, if not mesmerizing. some stories take a lifetime, some stories unfold in the blink of an eye.
and it all starts and ends with the relationships in your life.
where will it take you, how will it affect you, what does it mean to you.
-so i will probably see this movie, not for the star trek timeline technical specifications, but for the story of an unlikely friendship that became legendary in their lifetime.
topics often explored in space entertainment as i call it:
humanity, exploration, ownership, technology, emotional depth, love, fear, enlightment, potential, and the great unknown.
