A visually stunning experience!

Rating: 9/10 (15 April 2016)

The 2009 Star Trek reboot was a visual masterpiece. J J Abrams nailed this one on the head with a balance of a fantastic story, renewing the series for the newer generation, and combining it with stunning audio- visuals still holding up as astounding even by today's standards. The plot-line is relatively unorthodox, and is a strong, relatively sound script, with a bizarre and fascinating twist to it. This film is worth every minute and is captivating start to finish. The film has also been somewhat criticized for it's overuse of added in anamorphic lens flares, however I personally believe it is in the director's best interests to utilize this as to give a shiny, futuristic radiance to this fifty year old franchise.
