Don’t choose. Watch both, if you still have any doubt.<\/p>\n

Star Trek is nostalgic as well as formulaic. It rekindled my passion for this old TV series that became a franchise.<\/p>\n

Honestly, I stopped watching after the Next Generation<\/i>. I never got into Deep Space Nine<\/i> or Voyager<\/i>. I watched Enterprise<\/i> for a while. It did not stick. Not for the lack of effort, I wanted to become a modern trekkie. But none of them hooked me like the original series or Next Generation<\/i> did.<\/p>\n

Most Star Trek movies are second rated. The Wrath of Khan<\/i> was the best. The Search for Spock<\/i> was great. Nemesis<\/i> was disastrous. First Contact<\/i> was OK. Yes, I watched them all. This one is worth going.<\/p>\n

Non-trekkies need not worry. You don’t need to know anything about Star Trek to enjoy it. It is simply a well made, action packed, sci-fi flick.<\/p>\n

Wolverine touched me deeper. It is a poignant story of one fighting to hold onto self amid betrayal, exploitation, massive manipulation, and deep-rooted discrimination. We would watch Wolverine losing everything that was loving, kind, or descent. And we watched him trying so, so hard to stay true.<\/p>\n

As a movie, however, Wolverine is not for someone who did not know X-Man. In a way, this movie targets the cult more than Star Trek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
