Spoiled for ordinary cinemas now
Jun. 11th, 2009 08:21 pmAs it was the last day of our 'holiday' today, we finally got around to seeing Star Trek. At the Dendy Premium Lounge. Woot!
That has got to be the best way to see movies, definitely spoiled me for the ordinary cinemas. We joined the Dendy Club and will probably make that one of our 'treats' from now on. Amazingly comfortable recliner couches and good coffee in a small, quiet cinema - I'm hooked.
And the movie wasn't bad either. I really liked Karl Urban in this, but I didn't recognise any of the other leads. OK, I picked Eric Bana and Ben Cross but that was about it. The guy playing Spock was vaguely familiar but I didn't connect until I got home to IMDb. And I certainly didn't pick up on Winona Ryder as Amanda. Allright, inconsistencies and plot holes you could drive a spaceship through, but nicely entertaining for all that.
The LOL moment was something only an Aussie would appreciated, however. In the barfight scene, Kirk calls one of the cadets "cupcake". Sometime later in the film, the same cadet has to take Kirk to the bridge and says "come with me, cupcake" OWTTE. At which point I leaned over to John and said "Captain Cupcake, surely".

Apologies to those not amused.
