Just Brilliant

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2009)

AMAZING a movie with a story, a movie I became totally engrossed in and thoroughly enjoyed- what the hell happened. This might catch on in Hollywood with any luck!! I was always a fan of the Star Trek Enterprise which has now become the Star Trek Franchise! Glued to my TV in the 70's and then the movies came out and the spin off series- it's been boldly going for some 40 odd years!. Not always capturing the imagination as this film accomplishes. So full credit to the writers etc who managed to bring something new and it is a work of genius to decide upon making a prequel to the other how many? movies that have gone before. The acting superb throughout. Excellent performances by the new generation of actors I have never heard of before -Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto who achieve strong performances as Captain James Kirk and Spock making this a believable movie in a far fetched world. and they will no doubt be seen again boldly going somewhere in the future!
Same again please! - a long time since I have been to the Cinema to be entertained and see acting alongside special effects blending together brilliantly. Someone should have told George Lucas when he was making the 4th Star Wars it would have made for a better movie if he got the acting to work with the special effects as this movie so brilliantly achieves. Treky fans will be overjoyed and anyone who isn't a Treky fan will be encouraged to be one.
