Never a dull moment.

Rating: 8/10 (13 May 2009)

Awesome film. For both Trekkies and non Trekkies there's lots to like:
-Fanservice. There are some references to the old Trek and some answers to details that were left vague there.
-Casting. Simply splendid. Chris Pine should be considered a new star on the rise. Zachary Quinto was a very good pick for Spock and Karl Urban was instantly recognizable as McCoy, the other members did great as well with Simon Pegg as Scotty being the coolest.
-Special Effects. Not in itself reason enough to go see something but this film is a pure visual feast, both what you see in and outside of the Enterprise is pure Eyecandy.
-Story. Not as rock solid as the rest (see my spoiler post in the message board) but it was involving and the characters were given enough space and character to get to know them. Very well dosed with humor action and emotion, a terrific mix. Well done.
-Music. When you watch the trailer: awesome music score, somehow that tune was not featured in the film that much. Beastie Boys in the beginning seemed a little out of place but overall the soundtrack does not detract from the experience and enhances it when it should.
Simply two thumbs up who would have thought that? I was very skeptical when reading they would rehash Trek...but the way they did it was admirable. Go see this!
