HBCU247.com I am not a "Trekkie", so don't stone me when I say the movie was great to watch. I'd even go so far to as say that I would buy it and I don't say that too often! As you watch the film, you realize the plot is familiar, but J.J. Abrams brings it to you bigger and better. This Star Trek movie with its captivating, eye-popping special effects, seamlessly mixes drama, comedy, and of course action. The scenes were well performed, with rounded characters and great chemistry between the actors. I found Chris Pine to be an excellent Kirk, as well as Sylar (Heroes), excuse me, Zachary Quinto, who made a very good Spock as well. In fact, it was fun watching all of the actors interact, like "Harold" from Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle (John Cho as Hikaru Sulu) and his fencing/flipping techniques. Also, Anton Yelchin is adorable. I remember him as Charlie Bartlett in the movie with the same title. Let's just say I like the actors they chose for the movie. It was great hearing "Live Long & Prosper" (although I wasn't happy that it took me nearly 20 minutes to get my fingers to do the Spock salutation), and "Good God, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a", but I was, however, a little disappointed I didn't hear "I just can't do it Captain, we don't have the pow'r" But the movie was still AWESOMEand I hope there will be a No.2! So WATCH IT! ENJOY IT!
