Reboot me Scotty!

Rating: 10/10 (25 June 2009)

As a self-confessed fan of the Star Trek TV shows I knew I would enjoy this film but didn't expect to be so thrilled and entertained that I would be floating out of the cinema. A very important trait for any film-maker is to produce a movie with a detailed story and bursts of information within a two hour period as J.J. Abrhams manages to accomplish. As for the cast I would say it was an amazing group effort. Chris Pine's 'Kirk' was the most pleasing of them all but was not standing out there alone. I would hold Karl Urban's performance as 'Bones' and Simon Pegg as 'Scotty' in high esteem, they brought the same warmth to the characters as their predecessors if not more. The action is not over-done and the plot was very cleverly constructed. Finally, you do not have to be a die hard Star Trek fan to enjoy this movie, in fact be warned, you may just find yourself watching an episode or two of the classic TV series as I believe it will return an interest to the show. Watch it!
