Warp Factor 10!

Rating: 9/10 (12 May 2009)

I have to admit, I was completely skeptical of this film. I enjoyed Alias, but it got a bit stale and cheesy towards the end. I tried to watch Lost, but it didn't move me, then JJ came along with 6 degrees which was a departure from his Sci-Fi roots and it was an incredible show that was cut far to soon from the ABC schedule.
I was not impressed with Mission Impossible 3 and didn't even consider spending a penny on Cloverfield. Fringe is amazing TV and possibly the best Sci Fi on TV since X-Files.
It's because JJ and his Fringe staff stepped up to the plate here that I spent my dollar. This movie was amazing. Short of an early sequence of a 10 year old Kirk, I enjoyed the film. I think the actors paid an amazing homage to the original stars and JJ and writers managed to bring a great amount of conflict, struggle and drama to the screen while maintaining the comedy and action from the best of this series.
This film has turns you never see coming and manages to bring you up to date on characters in a single film. This is not your fathers or grandfathers Trek, but that's a good thing. Much like Dark Knight, they finally got it right. I'm not a Treker, Trekie or anything to that account. Just a guy who loves movies and I can say well done indeed.
