"Why didn't I think of that?!"

STAR TREK was a bit darker then I was hoping it to be. The director said he wanted to set a more optimistic tone for the last year of the decade as compared with THE DARK KNIGHT, i.e. the self described zeitgeist film of a dark decade. I though this STAR TREK had some pretty heavy casualty counts. It's got the (potential) new franchise off to an ominous start. I guess it's going to be a tangent Star Trek universe. A more optimistic view of humanity? I don't know about that.
Of course, other scienc fiction action films has some 9/11 reference point. The post pandemic apocalypse I AM LEGEND (set in NYC) was quite popular The recent remake of WAR OF THE WORLDS had "Is it the terrorist?" angle as well. :-\

It was your comment ("improbably handsome") that did it!
