STAR TREK (2009)
anything in italics is SPOILERS
Oh my God! This year has been plenty-full when it comes to big name releases. We've been blessed with many all star movies like Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, X-men Origins: Wolverine, G.I Joe and more recently Star Trek.
Now I've never been a big fan of the Star Trek television series, but oh my God! This is hands down the best movie I've seen this year. All the actors played their parts so perfectly (As perfectly as possible when you consider elements of the story) and with such passion that it was hard to ignore their attention to authenticity. The story was phenomenally done, placing it in the Star Trek timeline both before AND after the original series. The graphics were breath-taking and the sound was realistic and amazingly done.
First off, the story was definitely one the high points in the movie. Trying to leave out as many spoilers as possible here, I just have to say one minute you think you know something and the next you're completely surprised by a different outcome. This however will be more apparent for Trek fans. However for those of you who never watched Star Trek before in your life you'll be pleased to know the story is very inviting to new viewers under the circumstances that it trys to please both noobs and hard-core fans alike. Noting this, it does an AMAZING job.
The graphics are breath-taking the whole way through and never feel out of place, confusing or over done (with the exception of one alien creature encounter - the one before Lenard Nemoy's appearance.) but either way it's more than believable.
At some points I found myself literally stopping and thinking to myself. "This is better than Star Wars." and I have to say after watching the whole movie. I think that that personal opinion still stands. Even though I've always favored Star Wars over Star Trek, I believe this movie changed my mind.
Overall everything in this movie played together well and I would HIGHLY recommend it for anyone out to see this year's biggest blockbuster. If you haven't seen this movie, go out and see it NOW! Trek fan or not!
Graphics - 9.5
Story - 9.8
Entertainment - 9.5
Sound - 9.8
Overall - 9.7 out of 10

The Star Trek movie was phenominal.
ReplyDeleteAs a whole, I prefer the Star Wars world, the books..the games...so amazing, but this movie makes star trek stand right up there with the star wars series.
I really don't like any of the original star trek series. I was definitely against the trekkies, but, man, Abrams out did himself with this alternate timeline...and..you know..making the characters that were supposed to have sex appeal...actually appealling...
