I bought a ticket today to the Sunday September 15th (2019) showing of Star Trek: The Motion Picture 40th Anniversary in the theaters. I never saw this in the theater, so I am look forward to seeing this on the big screen!
I became very interested in Star Trek in seminary when I would watch Star Trek: The Next Generation. I’m not a complete “Trekie” because I haven’t even seen all of those. But I love the series and I am looking forward to the new Picard Series on CBS All Access. I have also enjoyed reading the most recent Star Trek: TNG books. So, when I saw that the original Star Trek movie was going to show in the theaters, I blocked off my calendar for a chance to go. Tickets were not available through my AMC A-list membership, but I was able to find enough Fandango Gift Cards to pay for my ticket.
I am looking forward to seeing Kirk and Spock together on the big screen, seeing what became the relaunch of Star Trek, arguably bringing Star Trek back to the forefront of Science Fiction. I am looking forward to becoming reacquainted with these characters and returning to a fresh excitement for all things Trek.
