Hmmm.....what to say? I went to go have lunch with my mother today for mother's day. Out of the blue she decided it would be nice to go see a movie. I figured i was gonna be stuck watching watching something like Ghost of girlfriends past or something. To me and my father's surprise and delight she wanted to see the new Star Trek film. I was giddy with anxiety from the trailers of the film and I was deeply curious about the way J.J Abrams had taked the franchise. What to say? One word. Amazing. The man has done what no man has done before. Take the franchise in an entirely new direction. This isn't Star Trek anymore. No...this is Star Trek Re-invented. I wish I could say everything I want to say, but that may well ruin the excitement for some so I will say this. YOU WILL NEVER LOOK AT JAMES T. KIRK AND THE CREW THE SAME WAY AGAIN! Believe you me....don't miss this film. The special effects were so good it blows every other Star Trek Movie completely away. The Enterprise was so beatuiful I almost wanted to cry! The Cast reprised the roles of the original crew in a hauntingly creepy way that will have you believing they were the original crew from the very begining!!! ^_^ A must see!
It seemed like they were reaching to expand the audience a little too much to me, though. Without ruining the plot too much for people who haven't seen it, I could have really done without the love story between 2 of the main characters.
It's kind of a departure from some of the fiction if you've read it, but if you've only seen the movies / TV shows, it gives you a really good back story behind Cpt. Kirk, Scottie, Spock, etc.
