I saw the new Star Trek movie last night. I won't spoil it for those who plan to see it.

I will say, however, that the special effects credits included a rather large mention of a company called Industrial Light and Magic, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lucasfilm.

Industrial Light and Magic also worked on Star Trek II, III, IV, VI, VII, and VIII (not sure about V, IX, and X). ILM is a special effects company, and they're good at what they do.

I like both Trek and Wars, but there can be no question in my mind about which is better.

Live long and prosper,

The new Star Trek movie is better than the three most recent Star Wars movies put together. (Admittedly, Trek had been pretty lame for the last decade.)

I agree; the two Skywalker men are, and always were, pathetic whiners.

The audience for the 6:30 pm Friday Star Trek showing must have had an average age of about 45. A very appreciative audience.

BP - good video. Thanks for posting.
