Escapist Cinema At Its Best!

Rating: 7/10 (5 June 2009)

J.J. Abrams is easily one of the most talented people to step into Hollywood in the last 20 years. Wrote the masterpiece 'Armageddon', the edge-of-the-seat thriller 'Joy Ride, Creator of the Super-Successful show 'Lost', directed the stylish hit flick 'Mission Impossible 3', produced the highly acclaimed super-hit flick 'Cloverfileld' and now makes the silver screen version of the cult hit TV series 'Star Terk', and this is a welcome addition to his illustrious list.
J.J.Abrams's 'Star Terk' is a fantastic entertainer, escapist cinema at its best. A very-well shot film, with outstanding special effects and racy performances. But again, if you're not a Star Terk enthusiastic you might not love it as much as I did. But again, you'll still enjoy the flick cause it entertains and doesn't tax your brains. The film has become a Blockbuster worldwide and its cult following is bound to happen. 'Star Terk' is a kick ass entertainer, which lives up to its mark by entertaining you from start to end. Bravo!
Performances: Chris Pine steals the show, with a superb performance. Zachary Quinto is a complete natural, playing Spock to perfection. Eric Bana surprises with his get up, but does exceedingly well in the climax especially. Winona Ryder is alright in a cameo. Simon Pegg makes you laugh, at the right places.ditto for the actor who plays the 17-old Russian. Bruce Greenwood is perfect. Zoe Saldana's character is half-baked, yet she performs well. Others are adequate.
on the whole 'Star Terk' is a killer flick. The entire cast & crew have done their job to perfection, and that is shown throughout. Two Thumbs Up!
