Best Star Trek!

Rating: 10/10 (17 October 2011)

I'm not as long winded as some of the reviewers but here is my h.o.. The movie starts out with a stunning opening scene that IMO is arguably one of the best ever in a sci-fi movie opening scene. The birth of Kirk.
The movie moves on to show how Kirk meets some of the main characters from the original series I grew up with. Kirk and all the characters seem fresh and original as they should in an origin script.
The plot is fine, is it perfect like some well-tuned book? I don't know but for a sci-fi movie it's perfect and engaging and totally action packed.
Action: Except for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country which had a "few" notable action scenes. This movie totally kicks butt!! The weapons, the way they appear and operate have all been "Modernized" for 2011. It's actually like you would expect it to be if imagined. I was always disappointed by the old "new" trek like Next Gen and the Capt. Janeway stuff on Voyager. Even "Enterprise" made the old seems fresher and new than years of Next generation and myriad movies. Compared to Starwars they seemed wimpy. But not anymore, the new movies action scenes rival any modern sci-fi movie.
To close, the movie ROCKS! Rent buy whatever but watch it. And if you have big screen plasma with kicking entertainment sound system be prepared to be rocked!
