Rating: 10/10 (5 September 2009)

I give this movie a 10 because I enjoyed it as much as my favorite Star Trek movie in the past which was Star Trek IV. I am a die-hard Trekker and I lived through the original series and loved watching the characters portrayed in their youth. I liked them all except Zachary Quinto. I feel he was a bad choice to play Spock. I think it was a popularity choice. I am not one of his fans and I feel they should have chosen someone taller and more gaunt looking. There was something about the way he portrayed Spock that didn't give the feel of the character. I have personally never cared for this actor and really feel he did NOT fit the part. I was surprised at how they portrayed Ohura but I liked the actress they chose. In my opinion, the choice of the actor to play Kirk was outstanding in every way. He and Eric Bana in my opinion made the movie, not to mention all the outstanding visual effects. There was no way anyone could get bored watching this offering of Star Trek. It hailed the old but it respectfully portrayed the new. I hope they will make more movies of the early years. One last mention is Bruce Greenwood which I think is a great unsung actor. He always adds class to any movie he is in, in my opinion whether a good or bad character. The part of Christopher Pike was perfect for him. I was pleasantly surprised. Maybe Quinto will grow on me if they make anymore movies with the younger characters, but it won't keep me from going to see the films if they choose to make any more.
