A Thrilling and Entertaining Prequel

Rating: 9/10 (10 May 2009)

Wanting to escape from the hypnotic boredom from watching Star Trek: the Motion Picture, I went to see the new one on the same day with my friend. And boy, did it deliver! The effects were very nice, even better than those in Star Wars: Episode III. Story was quite good, very interesting compared to Star Trek: the Motion Picture. It was very fast- paced, unlike the slow-paced series. Simon Pegg boosted this movie very highly with his lively performance. It was a pleasure to see Leonard Nimoy as Old Spock.
All in all, great film, highly recommend to Trekkies but it might give old Trekkies heart attacks.
