A Fantastic Addition To The Franchise

Rating: 8/10 (28 October 2009)

My brother openly and publicly LOVES Star Trek. Can't get enough. I'm one of those 'secret trekkies' who really enjoyed TNG and the majority of the movies. I'm glad to say that I wasn't disappointed with the latest offering.
Being a huge fan of LOST, I was salivating when I heard that JJ Abrams was directing. He really does pull out all the stops here. Big effects, big sounds, great acting, great direction, fantastic script, and finally, finally - a close-up look at 'the Kobayashi incident', talked of in previous outings, but nothing more.
I could go on forever about this film, but there are soooo many reviews to plunder, I'll let you go about your business now. Just do yourself a favour and get a copy of this on Blu-Ray if you want the full effect, or at least DVD.
A straight 8 from me. Great stuff!
