Star Trek Rocks

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2009)

I've been waiting for a big name movie franchise to blow me away for a few years now and this has finally done it. Indiana Jones' newest was good, but nothing exceptional. Casino Royale reinvigorated James Bond nicely, but then fell off the mark with Daniel Craig's second attempt. Don't even get me started with the Star Wars Episodes I, II and III. This new Star Trek is just what I needed! The actors are perfectly cast and I believe that JJ performed a perfect balancing act with this - the old school trekkies (like myself) should love this just as much as the new generation of fans (my sister's 9 and 10 year olds). I took my dad to see it and we both left the theater with tears of joy in our eyes. I can't wait for the next one. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS - this movie is PURE ENTERTAINMENT.
