Yes, I'm going to go see the new Star Wars movie and I'm looking forward to it... But this is really what I want to see!
Which is kind of funny because I am a Star Trek purist and I don't like the new Star Trek movies that much... I've never quite forgiven J.J. Abrams for blowing up the planet Vulcan (THE MOST PEACEFUL planet in the franchise!) in the first one, and the second one is too much of a Wrath of Khan rehash...
Wrath of Khan is awesome, by the way. The Director had never seen Star Trek before. He dealt with its cheesiness and plot holes by deconstructing the franchise and making the characters face consequences for their actions... and it's brilliant. Almost universally hailed as the best Star Trek movie of all time. J.J. Abrams deals with the cheesiness and plot holes by playing them up in a way that's basically a parody.
But, even though the new Star Trek movies aren't my fave, I do like them. When I was a teeny little elementary school kid, I'd pretend that the characters were my age and that'd we'd play together. As an adult, it is kind of fun to see my favorite fictional characters changed to my own age. This time I hope they let Dr. McCoy have more screen time.
