An average movie

Since I kept hearing some interesting things about this flick, I was quite eager to check it out. Eventually, I thought it was a decent film about fandom but it was still nothing really mind-blowing though. I mean, there was definitely some funny stuff like for example the whole Star Wars-Star Trek conflict which was just hilarious and the cameos were pretty cool as well (Carrie Fisher, William Shatner, Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes, Jamie King, Ray Park, Billy Dean Williams,...). I guess my main issue is that it was basically a film about fans, about the glory of the fans, especially made for the fans and since I'm not one of them, I didn't care much about the whole thing, I'm afraid. Roger Ebert was even more critical than me and said that it actually glorified a stupid lifestyle (or something in those lines). Personally, I don't agree with him and I think it is pretty cool to have a hobby and to be passionate about something but such a hobby is not something really interesting for anyone else except if you share the same interest. I mean, of course, I like the first Star Wars trilogy, but I enjoyed them above all when I was a kid and now that I moved on towards other things. Those guys were just stuck with Star Wars and even though they were definitely entertaining,  they were also rather pathetic. Anyway, in spite of its flaws, it remains a fun and original comedy and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
