Friday night, my son and I went to see the new Star Trek movie. I realized afterwards that I had committed a major parental mistake. That was the first Star Trek movie that my 12 year old son had seen. That has now been corrected. We got home from the movie shortly before 11pm, after going to 3 different places to find other Star Trek movies. We spent the rest of Friday night, and alot of Early Saturday morning watching Star Trek. I realized that this was a good series for him to watch on TV. Without getting too deep into a philosophical discussion, Star Trek pits right against wrong, and generally right triumphs over wrong. This was the first weekend in a long time that I didn't have to get up and go Saturday morning. It was amazing to be able to spend that kind of time with my son. It was really a good moment for both of us. I can remember my father pulling me out of school early one day to go see the premier of one of the original Star Wars movies. I don't remember much about the movie, or the theater, but I do remember how I felt knowing my father wanted to spend that time with me. I hope my son remembers that as well when he grows up.
As for the movie, all I will say is that it is the first movie in many years that I am willing to pay to see again.
