This is the best one.
The image you see above is “Professor” Scotty talking to an original Macintosh Mouse. Because the mouse is where you talk to the computer so it can hear you, like a microphone. It really is a logical assumption when you are used to computers that are sort of voice activated (I say sort of because they do pretty much always need like fifteen people touching those touch screens with the crazy honeycomb visualizations).
People who don’t really care about Star Trek can enjoy this movie. They will enjoy this movie. There are real humans in it. Not the kind in silly starfleet-tight uniforms, but real people who you can tell are straight out of the 80s. It’s fun and exciting and there are whales! You couldn’t ask for more (except maybe you might ask for them to build the Enterprise on Earth, if you ask for that, if you say that will be there best – that movie will beat the whales – then you need only wait till 2009 my friend).
Update: Forgot I wrote this earlier, the short version of the post, wanted to add it: Whales! This movie is really good. Like actually genuinely good. It’s funny and occasionally clever and it only has a few places with bad special effects like when Kirk “dreams” of everyone on his crew as badly rendered 3D heads floating in milk. It has the mom from seventh heaven and some interesting interface choices like the test machine that quizzes Spock and also the giant and quite pixelated display screens at Starfleet headquarters.
