Perfect Movie. Not just for Star Trek fans.

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2009)

OK, first let me admit, I am not a huge Star Trek fan. I cant stand the originals, with there over acting. And Cant stand William Shatner, the king of over acting/ bad acting. However, I did enjoy TNG quite a bit. And I also enjoyed Deep Space Nine.
First things. For the few of you out there complaining about the characters,.... get over it. These are not supposed to be the same characters!!! The original series takes place after they were all grown and middle-aged, and have already been in space for awhile. This isn't those characters. This is a bunch of teenagers/ young adults, who are just getting out of the academy. A bunch of recruits who are just going to space and being assigned their duties. And without spoiling to much........... the plot twist in this movie explains that, due to what Spock did, those characters will probably never be the same as what they were originally destined to be. The future has been rewrote, in a sense.
Now as far as the movie. It was near perfect in my opinion. It was for anyone, not just Trek fans,... as long as you like science fiction. I thought that the characters, for the most part were perfectly cast. I loved Simon Pegg as Scotty. The visuals were very nice. The story wasn't perfect, but it was good. And the acting was solid. There was some cheesy lines in the movie, but they were forgivable for the fact that most were little catch phrases that the originals used to use.
I set through this movie, and never once was bored. And never once did I think of getting up to get a drink, go to bathroom, etc. And something else that is extremely rare for me...... I plan on going back and seeing it one more time, while it is still in the theater.
