The Reboot Star Trek really needed

Rating: 8/10 (24 January 2010)

First of all, I am not a die hard Star Trek lover. I know the characters, liked the series and the movies, but didn't "live" in this world, although I liked the movies and series. Don't ask me why, maybe because of the fiction, or characters or sometimes action.
I can understand the anger in some of the die hard Trek fans, but to all the others who just "liked" and not "loved" or "married" the original movies and series, they will love this one:
Star Trek series and movies were always a bit slow, too "nerdish" for some and to others to abstract. The characters were well developed but who cared about the characters that much when he just wanted to see some Sci-Fi Adventures?
The new Star Trek has a lot of the old in it, but in a well polished form. The characters are not that much talking about this nerdish stuff, they have fast and sarcastic dialogues, you just "like" them because of their humor. The plot is reasonable and the movie develops with some real surprises and cool connections. The acting as well is very good.
In short: this movie is fast, has lots of action, some surprises, cool dialogues, good characters that are not too deep in the typical Trekkie style generated but seem more human and likable.
Fast, humorous, action, thrill... in short FUN. Doesn't really sound like Star Trek, but it is. At least it is in it's Universe. I guess that is, what makes the Fans so angry. It is less nerdish, more mainstream. Me and 90% of all the visitors will call it "better" but that is because my focus was always different on the Star Trek movies, than that of a Trekkie.
Enogh said for now. If you want a movie with cool characters,intelligent humor, action and Sci-Fi in it - go watch it! It is the reboot, Star Trek needed (in MY Opinion) and is almost as good as "The Dark Knight" is to the Batman Series. If not better (depends on you and your opinion). If you haven't seen it, go and give it a try!
