Made me into a Trekkie

Rating: 9/10 (22 February 2019)

I have to be honest before I saw this film I had absolutely no attraction to the Star Trek franchise. I was never a "Trekkie" and just didn't see the appeal in the story as a whole. After seeing this film, I'm honestly upset...at myself. Wow! What an amazing feat of storytelling.
I know that this is not the "original" Star Trek, but it did an amazing job introducing a new viewer to an already established franchise. As I watched I felt like I was not only learning the history of the series but being introduced to a fresh new story.
The acting was done supremely and the cinematography was splendid. The only complaint I would have is the same that I know a lot of people had. LENS FLARES! I mean I get it, it's a cool effect, but sometimes they were showing up in places that made absolutely no sense.
I will watch this movie again, as a matter of fact, I look forward to it.
