The Wrath of Khan, quick thoughts
I'll do a proper review of this movie (or as close to a review as I possibly can :"/) after the exam tomorrow, but I just want to jot down some of my thoughts about it first.
First of all, I was really in the worst possible position/situation/mood to enjoy it. I was really emotionally strung yesterday, having watched Milk while waiting for the download to complete (which will always, always have me in tears. No exceptions.), and then having received the results of some of my assignments which weren't really how I'd like it. So I was really down when I watched TWOK, and okay admittedly I cheered up greatly a, but I wasn't fangirling as much as I'd have liked OTL. (I DIDN'T EVEN SQUEE AT SPOCK SPEAKING VULCAN, AND YOU KNOW THAT'S SERIOUS.)
And I really wish I hadn't been spoiled with anything about TWOK. I knew almost everything in the last act, supposingly the most interesting act, from Spock's death to his funeral and Kirk's little talk with his son to Spock's body on Genesis....ALL THE BITS THAT MATTER. God, this is why I hate spoilers to death OTL.
There's one thing I really, really am disappointed about the movie and that's the music. In the scene for Spock's death. We were having this tragic separation between two lovers brothers friends t'hy'la and I'm like, "my body is ready, bucket for my cries". And then, suddenly, the background played this soundtrack similar to the opening ST song. I-I was confused and conflicted because that's the song I associate with awesome and adventure and all the good things in the world and I'm like "WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL :|" Admittedly the song winded down to be more mournful, but at that point: TOO LATE :|. My stream of angsty emotions was already interrupted. BAD CHOICE OF MUSIC IS BAD.
Oh and there's one more thing that sort of dampened my mood in the first half: I'm in that honeymoon phase with the TOS bridge crew and I feel sort of hollow when the Enterprise is and will be replaced with all new young faces ;_;. God knows how much I screamed when I realized Saavik weren't really the captain of the Enterprise and it was only the Kobayashi Maru and well it doesn't make sense but anw >__>
Urgh in any case I'm rewatching this one more time after the exams. Hopefully my reactions would be more proper then OTL. (Haha, I define "proper" as "squealing my heads off" while "being calm" is "weird and not normal". I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.)
ETA: I just realized it came off like I don't like TWOK. DON'T GET ME WRONG I LIKE IT A LOT, but I'm just too annoyed at my inability to express myself more properly. ;____;
