9 min. Star Trek preview

A handful of lucky journalists already got the chance to see the 9 min. long preview of Star Trek 2 that will be attached to The Hobbit in IMAX. And though they were asked to keep their reviews spoiler-free, some of them are actually pretty spoiler-filled. I skipped over those parts, I don't want to be spoiled for the actual movie, thank you very much. Trailers are one thing, these previews something else completely.

But! I loved this non-spoilery bit:

The stuff with Kirk and McCoy is very funny, and a nice reminder of just how strong the chemistry is with this cast. Same with the stuff between Uhura and Spock.

Benedict Cumberbatch awesome bit aside - and he will definitely steal the show! - the whole thing with Kirk and Bones made me very, very happy. I hope it's not just the first 9 min., that we will get more of their camaraderie throughout the movie! If they keep it pretty much Kirk/Bones & Spock/Uhura - as it was in the first movie - both slash fans and het fans will be happy.

Centurion

Wonderful, wonderful movie! I mean, it's dark, it's bloody, it's cruel - yet it's really, really good. I'm so glad I own it on DVD!

I think it's good to see both Centurion and The Eagle because they are two sides of the same coin. In the former, you learn what happened to the 9th - in the latter, Marcus decides to go and search for the legion's eagle. They complete each other, they fit together like two puzzle pieces. But if I had to choose... I would go with Centurion. Don't get me wrong, The Eagle is wonderful and it's eye-poppingly slashy. But there's something about Centurion...

I guess it's Michael Fassbender. He's an amazing, fantastic, brilliant actor - and here he really proves it. Quintus was so incredibly likable and brave and smart. I think this is my 2nd favorite role of Michael's, right after Erik in XMFC. And Olga Kurylenko... Wow! I know that people swoon about Angelina Jolie or Michele Rodriguez, Milla Jovovich and others. For me, it's Olga Kurylenko and Gemma Arterton, they are my kick-ass actresses!

One thing I utterly adored was Arianne the Witch. She and Quintus, I really believed their romance. They had known each other for just a few days but I really, truly believed it. They were both so lonely and desperate. And because of that, the ending was utter perfection for me! It made me so incredibly happy, the film's ending. So very, very happy! \o/

Peeps, if you get the chance to see the movie, do! It really is worth it.
