i am giving this film a nod of approval as it has done what it set out to do, reintrist the younger generations into loving a timeless story with relatable characters.

Rating: 8/10 (22 January 2020)

I want to start by uploading the directors, reviving a story that many adults like my parents and grandparents remembered when they were younger as the child of a baby boomer my parents grow up watching the adventures of kirk and Spock. Like my parents when I was young we watched the original Star Trek as well. This new movie has perfectly captured the wonder and adventure of kids and adults alike once again. This film after watching a few times you start seeing scenes that didn't need to be there. If you don't understand what I mean by this, ill elaborate. You will be watching and towards the middle of the original crew will start entering the scenes and your realize there taking a really long time to gather everyone only after each new crew member there's a scene that is almost completely pointless almost like the director needed to extend the run time so they through some jokes and poor attempts at gags to amuses the viewer to diloud the long intermissions between the story and the characters. I would like to point out and continue the last idea that they wasted time in the story for run time. In the beginning few minutes we are immediately introduced to the antagonist and a tragedy starts this entire scene was a waste of time for the viewer in something that could have been explained in 2 minutes by a side character, but alas we are given almost 10 minute of a wasted scene.
World immersion is something many writers and producers have trouble getting their audience into; however, in the film we are immediately given key examples showing how people join star fleet and if you are like me, a mega lover of star trek, you would know the details of how people enlisted, and from what I could find this was almost everything was perfect, even including other alien races into the academy just to further immerse the viewer. J J abroms had spent his time creating characters that you would remember even if they were only on screen for a minute. Once the film really got started you almost felt like you were one of the crew members, rathers then feeling like a Q forced to observe for all of time. The viewer would feel like he was part of the crew and you where really with Kirk and Spock on one of there classic missions to explore the cosmos.
I will finnish by giving this film a nod of approval as it has done what it set out to do, reintrist the younger generations into loving a timeless story with relatable characters. With new TV series on the way; like Star Trek Discovery session 3 and the new star Trek Picard and the production of a new movie, we can expect to see the Star Trek franchise to continue and grow for many generations to come.
