Star trek for a new generation

Rating: Null/10 (31 March 2010)

I never in a million years, thought i would be able to call myself a star trek fan, but this reboot has seriously changed that! I must admit that i never liked the old star trek movies. i found them boring, slow and repetitive. I wasn't too keen on the fight scenes and found them corny. But i decided to watch the new one on DVD. I was quite familiar with the story line and i knew the characters Kirk, Spock and Scotty.......somehow. But the thing about reboots is that its not relevant to know anything about the old ones, so i thought fu*k it, ill just watch it with an open mind and see if i enjoy it.And did i enjoy........I loved it!
The film starts with our main guy Kirk being born and took to earth to be raised by his mother. When he comes of age he decides that he wants to join the starfleet academy, so he can try to become a captain of his own ship, like his father before he. He meets Spock (portrayed brilliantly by Zachary Quinto) and later on Scotty (simon Pegg - brilliant as always. they team up to try and stop an alien race from destroying planets. They destroy planets by creating black holes which is cool!
This really is a new star trek franchise aimed at a new generation. I'm sure there will be a new generation of nerdy "trek" fans if they continue to make the films like the first one. Hell....... i might even be a "trek" nerd if they make sequels, which i really hope they do. there is about 7 different star trek shows so I'm sure they could make a dozen more movies for this rebooted franchise, and ill definitely be at the cinemas for each and every one. 10/10 easy choice Even if you hate star trek, try this movie out and i guarantee, you wont be sorry.
