The start of things to come?

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2009)

Although not exactly the best Star Trek movie I have ever seen I thoroughly enjoyed it none the less.
The start is some what slow to get going as it spend a large amount of time scene setting and showing a little about the origins of the main characters, but don't let this dishearten you as action soon ensues.
This is an action packed movie with great special effects which is only to be expected from a Star Trek movie.
This movie has a sprinkling of new talent with Chris Pine (Smokin' Aces) playing an excellent young James T. Kirk, Heros hunk and all time bad guy, Zachary Quinto as Spock and with a splash of humour in the shape of Simon Pegg (Sean of the Dead) as Montgomery Scott. And I could not forget a cameo from one of the original cast, Leonard Nimoy who I could never fail to applaud in his logic.
I gave this film 8/10 simply down to the ever so slightly confusing plot and the at times rigid acting from Chris who seemed a little nervous and out of his depth. Despite this I would recommend it to all Sci-Fi and Trek fans alike.
One of many to come I hope, can wait until the next instalment
