Can we all take a moment to appreciate a: How much Kirk grew up in this movie and b: How amazing he is at giving speeches/ pep talks no matter the circumstance. Because honestly, both are incredible.
"Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man (should be no one) has gone before." I think it's been a little longer than five years!! Maybe that should be changed to "its mission". Ya think??
The mission only lasted 2.65 Years until the Enterprise was Wrecked in Star Trek Beyond. They Skipped from the Pike Era into the TMP Era with just 1 Film!! There should have been a War between the Federation and the Klingons as was Implied in Into Darkness. But no... It was not meant to be.
i love Star trek, but Lord of the Rings is an epic that inspiredan entire genre, and as far as quality goes, both the movies and books will be unnmatched for a LONG time
