Enthusiast

Rating: 8/10 (17 May 2009)

I used to watch the TV series a lot when I was a child, but I've never liked sequels such as Next Generation, etc.
So, it was actually my husband, a big Star Trek fan, who brought me to watch it yesterday, and I was enthusiast : it was REALLY well done and entertaining.
I was actually discouraged at the beginning, because of a certain tone of "cheesy melodrama" which made me fear of a science-fiction B-movie, and I guess the character of villain Nero could have been worked out better and deeper.
However, as it went long, the film displayed a very good script, it got rhythm and humor, the special effects were very good and didn't take all the place, since the characters were generally very well constructed, not only physically alike, but also psychologically consistent with their older counterparts of the TV series - if not worked even better than the originals.
I especially liked young Spock, Checov and Mc Coy: they were just ADORABLE here!
