New Style of Film Making

Rating: 8/10 (29 June 2012)

I was not a big fan of JJ Abrams, but always been drawn to his movies, be it Super 8, or many others. Recently, I have come to understand that world has run out of stories, and its quite true, we have seen every kind of movie that can ever be. What makes JJ Abrams great is the fact that he is trying to tell the same old stories in a completely different way through subtle nuances and techniques that produce a kind of strange/awed feeling while watching them.
Star Trek, I have to say, is a solid franchise. Something we have to be proud to be making films on. And who could be better than JJ Abrams? None. But, the film wouldn't have been so good if not for the Special Effects, Music and all other departments collaborating properly.Casting was great. Music was top notch, and acting was good too. Zoe Saldana was HOT. All pieces fell together into places.
The story is well, something, we all know. But, the treatment is fresh. Kirk and Spock share a very good chemistry on screen. In 1990s and 80s it was Star Wars, Aliens which captured our imaginations, in SCI FI genre, and maybe ET too. But, this film could well probably be the Star Wars for this generation, only if the continuing parts are well made.
