Well the wait was over for many people, Trekkies. Yes the new movie was out today as a preview.
After seeing the new Wolverine film I did wonder if the new Star Trek could give me the same buzz.
More on Trek in a moment.
Wolverine was very well done, very close to the comic book (ok moved to this era) but fast paced, good story, good action and good fun. For those who have not yet seen it I would recommend going, it is money well spent.
Jackman is Wolverine there is no doubt on that. The rest of the cast support the movie very well, the direction never made me feel like I needed more or was waiting for anything.
There are a couple of funny moments, twists and the odd special appearance towards the end.
Overall 9 out of 10
Now Star Trek. JJ Abrams had 3 ways to go with this , find a new Enterprise 1701-F and a new crew or start from the beginning and show how the original crew got together. Well he went with the second choice and as the trailers say - Star Trek is reborn - in more ways than one.
What words can you use to sum up the movie, well awesome is just about right. The Enterprise looks great, the cast work brilliantly, the script is Star Trek at its best and more, the effects are first class and the movie is well balanced. Who could not like this?
I am sure there will be the odd one or two who will pick holes in the plot - why, its a movie enjoy it. Pick holes in history films instead, a few come to mind but for this one you cant. It works.
If you want to see more of this then enjoy it else Trek will fail and it will end in my humble view.
I wont give the plot away I am sure I will talk to people about that when they have seen it.
Oh yes overall 10 out of 10.
Thoughts on a film - If you felt that you spent your money well, then its a good film as my sister said and I agree.
Yes an excellent film with the star being The Enterprise, NCC1701 (no letter!!) herself. She looked fantastic! The film itself was perhaps too long, with a complicated plot used to bring the crew together. I was disappointed that Scotty didnt appear until very late on. However, it was Mr Spock who really stole the show, and I found that character the closest to the original series, No doubt there will be more to follow.
