A pure delight for adventure film lovers.

Rating: 9/10 (18 November 2009)

For the last 40 plus years we have had many Star Trek films, There also have been a few Television series.
One would think we would be in very familiar territory. WE ARE, but with a refreshing difference,this film as about the very start of our decades long adventures. We have a bright new young cast portraying these characters in there first voyage when they were in there late teens & twenties.
The cast comprises young faces from Television & film, one brand new actor & a few veterans.
The director is also young; JJ Abrams, he does a first class job,'
Zachary Quinto in his first role is Spock. We will see more of him. Chris Pine is Jim Kirk, & all I can say he is wonderful. Zoe Zoldana is Uhuru (may be spelled wrong. Simon Pegg,Karl Uban, John Cho & Anton Yelchin round out the crew, Eric Bana is our villain
Leonard Nimoy is Spock (large cameo) & Winona Ryder also appears,
They All are very well cast and do very well.
The entire production is fast & furious & expertly done. Excellent special effects & lots of old fashioned adventure film thrills..
Now if the script were a bit more adult my rating would have been higher, But who goes to an exciting adventure film for the story. It is a great 127 minutes, I had fun. To be honest I have loved this type film since the mid 1930's when I saw a similar film from same studio, Paramount, this studio is known to make exciting movies like this.
