I spent a huge amount of this film just gawping at the screen, agog. Possibly even two gogs.

The weak link in this film though (does anyone else think this?) is Kirk. I just don't love him in the way that I love every other character (Spock, Bones, Scotty, Sulu, Uhura...). He's like the Harry Potter of the Star Trek franchise.

Plus, there was so much running in this film, I honestly expected Tom Cruise to turn up at some…

If anyone was born to make this film, it's Baz Luhrman. From Moulin Rouge, we have the young idealistic guy, the writer, the typewriting, the innocence-meets-decadence angle, and the death of a redhead. From Romeo + Juliet, we have Leonardo di Caprio hopelessly in love with a woman he can't have, leading to his untimely demise.

As I knew it would be, this is a visually stunning film, with the old-meets-new soundtrack and at-times giddy pacing perfectly recreating the roaring…

A troubling film that poses more questions than it answers.

Questions like
(1) Where did the table in the field come from for the proposal that wasn't?
(2) Did Alice get more than one line?
(3) Where did the guys who were chasing them go???
(4) How did the guys escape when yerman was busy having sex instead of keeping an eye out?
(5) Did the guys make it back to their families?
(6) What even happened to that subplot…
