A first step into the unknown

Rating: 9/10 (26 February 2020)

I have never seen any of the previous stories from the voyages of a legendary team of Starfleet, so this one was the first acquaintance with the brave space explorers. The one thing I know for sure after this is: I want to sign up for the service!
The reboot always leads to a new origin story, as in this case it's the second version, we haven't been beaten by countless repetitions like Batman or Spider-man, however, I cannot say that the start was in any way slow or boring. We get to know the characters pretty fast in order to create a special connection between them and then show some real progress towards the climax of the movie.
The plot grows on you easily and within minutes you feel like a genuine member of a crew. Following the menace we discover things that turn heads and drop jaws. The set of characters defined in the beginning is only a tip of an iceberg, so prepare yourself for a journey full of surprises.
The visual effects are great. Whether you are on the ground making a step on the land that has never seen a human, or speeding through space towards the pitch black mystery, you will always find yourself admiring the detailed and masterful setting of the scenes. And it is not just beautiful but meaningless surroundings. They are filled with dynamic action and clever dialogs. Furthermore it is topped with a fantastic soundtrack that makes your arm hair stand up while you tremble expecting something cool to happen.
Unless you hate science fiction packed with top shelf action and swore to eradicate every instance of it, you should definitely check out the movie.
