Review of Star Trek

Rating: 8/10 (16 February 2010)

Speaking as someone who has never seen the original Star Trek films or watched any of the TV shows, I wasn't very excited when I heard about this film because I didn't know anything about the Star Trek universe. However, when I saw the trailer, I was very interested in checking the film out and I'm glad I did. I've heard that this film was geared towards people like me, the younger generation. People who had never been introduced to Star Trek. I was very thrilled by this film and it definitely left me wanting to see more. The cast was very good, the story was well done and the whole feel of the film was just epic. In so many ways, it was my kind of film, which is so ironic to me because I've always viewed Star Trek as "not my thing". After seeing this film, I don't think I want to go and see the older Star Trek films. Not because I think they'd be bad compared to this one, but because I feel like the new Star Trek is more my thing and I want to embrace that. Maybe someday I'll check out the older films, but right now I'm just looking forward to another Star Trek film in this new series. I will definitely go out and buy this film and I would recommend to anyone who loves sci-fi or action films. Even if you've never seen any version of Star Trek, this film is a blast.
