I had an awesome time watching this.

Was it the best of the three new ones? Maybe not.

But was it an awesome movie? YES.


This is not a spoiler, but the Enterprise crashes and the crew is split up, so there were a lot of character interactions in small groups.

There is some AWESOME character development, and Spock and Bones spend some time together and their relationship really grows. You really get to see that old rapport that they had with each other in the original series.

The bad guy.. he was alright. I mean the actor is great. His role wasn't the best villains role. It wasn't the actors fault at all. Hos motivation is revealed in the third act, but they then you kinda already don't like him, and not cause he's the bad guy.

The action was amazing. I think it could have done with a little less camera movement and crazy angles, I could see people very sensitive to movement feeling a little weird or woozy (nothing too bad or that lasts too long, so its not unwatchable by any means)

There is a lot of humor in it. Not too much that it takes away from the action, just enough to lighten the mood when it needs it.

Oh man, there are some really awesome nods to the original series in here. Be sure to listen to a little inside joke/friendly jab/nod to the original series in Kirk's monologue at the very start of the movie.

Also, there is a wonderful moment with Spock at the end where they also pay homage to the original crew. I was so "AWWWWW"-ing at that moment.

And they have an "In Memory of Leonard Nimoy" and "For Anton" in the middle of the credits. Its right as the first credit music is ending, so that moment is silent. It was awesome and so well done and I am so glad that they were able to do that. That first credit music that was ending is the original theme from the first series, which was awesome to hear.

I also liked how all of the main crew go to end the movie together right before the credits role. It just felt right.


No, there is no middle/end extra sequence, so you don't have to stay.




So overall, it was a great movie. If you are a Trek fan, if you liked the other two movies, DEFINITELY go see this. It is so worth it.

We saw it in regular version, but if you can see it in IMAX or 3-D, I think it would look very, very good.





Go see it!!








EDIT:


Just a little FYI, if you look at my profile here on FA, you see that my characters name is Seaweed Tiberious Otter. This is how I named her from the moment I created this character almost 20 years ago.

It is not a coincidence that her middle name is the same as Captain Kirk. I have been a Star Trek fan since I was a kid, and I thought it would be a nice tribute to give my character that middle name. (of course I liked the coincidence that it was T, like a lot of people would think it mean "THE" or something like that. But nope.
