Pointy-eared perfection?

Well here’s some good news to surely put some cheer into the lives of all IT Pros – the new Star Trek film has premiered to almost universal (literally, of course) praise. Yay.
Naturally, I’m assuming that if you’re in IT, you’re a Star Trek fan of at least some description – it’s part of the job description surely? OK, so there are only seven reviews so far, but 100% on the UK Rotten Tomatoes site is more than promising, and the BBC review I read that’s not included was positive as well.
I did try and avoid reading any reviews, but I’ve been unable to avoid clicking those oh-so-tempting links in the Tweets that have been popping up. It’s fine though – the reviews have been essentially spoiler free and have got my enthusiasm levels right up to warp 9 – if you’ll allow me to totally geek out for a minute.
I’ve been quietly optimistic about this ‘franchise reboot’, and from the first teaser trailer, and judging from the responses of the lucky b*stards who got to go to the premiere, my faith has not been misplaced.
“A triumph”, “A stupendous production”, and “easily the best Trek movie since The Wrath of Khan”, are the phrases I’ve dreamed would be in the reviews. (Yes, the ones I intended not to read).
Naturally, I’ve already got my seats booked – at the IMAX Waterloo in fact – as I felt that nothing less than a mind-searingly large screen would be good enough to see the new – (make that old) Enterprise, swoop majestically across the screen.
Yes, it’s only the DMR version – so merely upscaled - not native res, but having seen Watchmen that way a few weeks ago, I know it’s still going to be breathtaking.
7 May is the premier date for the red shirted masses - I say we all come to work wearing pointy ears. Who’s with me?

Oh, me too please. I am counting the days off until it’s on at our cinema.
Live long and prosper

By virtue of ignoring the show’s premise completely it’s not Star Trek at all — but it does look like pretty good Galaxy Quest, and by Grabthar’s hammer, the Quest must continue!
