Where no one has gone before...

I was murmuring this phrase to myself when I went into a theater recently to watch the new Star Trek movie. Not because I was recalling that iconic title sequence from Star Trek. It was a reaction to the almost empty movie theater in front of me.

I think it is but a true reflection of how little people know about Startrek in India. It is simply not popular here. I don't know why. It had good stories and an optimistic, if western, outlook of the future. Whatever the reason, I was just thankful that I had a chance to see the movie on the big screen in India.

My wife and I both loved the movie. So, I think if it was marketed well by paramount and possibly dubbed into local languages it might have found a bigger audience.
