Rating: 9/10 (24 August 2018)

Star Trek 2009 is a fantastic film, it spawns a new telling of the Star Trek story from th 1969 tv series helmed by director J.J. Abrams. Abrams reimagines all of these character full filling there famous roles. The casting in of the character was so carefully handled, not just to fill the shoes but to breath life into Abrams vision and take. From the opening of this film it is hard to catch your breath. The Film is full of excitement and spectacle with a concise and neat story. Throughout the movie he characters are aleays faced with problems and are forced to work together and this makes very good relationships between the ensemble cast of characters and develops the characters. The cinematography helps with the pacing a lot. Sweeping shots on the bridge and dutch angle accomplish this. The shooting style is very busy, often times, more than one problem will arise for more than one character in the same shot. This creates a sense of urgency and momentum while aiding in character development and it never feels too bloated. The Score by Michael Giaccino is very underrated and undervalued. The main theme is very memorable and brings excitement with character victories and also helps with the pace from the get go. The visual effets hold up to this day, they seem almost flawless. I highly recommend you watch it or if you haven't seen it recently, watch it again
