I cannot even fathom how brilliant this movie is.....

Rating: 9/10 (7 May 2009)

It all started with "Batman Begins"......by starting the now common phrase "Re-boot of a franchise".......and thus far, its has been proved successful every time. With both Batman and the James Bond series. However, i myself have only seen the first two Star Trek movies, and maybe a few old school episodes. I am not a die hard "Trekie", nor do i have a vast knowledge of the creatures, planets, or the history of the crew. I just know the main characters, their purpose, and those ever so classic lines. First off, let me start by saying that the main reason why i went to see this movie, is because of the ever so clever J.J Abrams. Still never heard of him??? Thats a shame, because you eventually will. He has directed the TV series "Lost", along with "Mission Impossible:3", which totally caught me by surprise. And once again, this man has truly out done himself. This movie was beyond entertaining.......way beyond. It was put together so well, on so many levels that i cannot even fathom. First off, the story.......its premise and plot is so deep and complex, but told so incredibly well. It is not too far out there....and the scenes where it begins to, are immedietly explained so that you never loose track of where you are. The story was utterly brilliant to say the least......because not only does it back up its idea for the re-boot, but it also coincide's with the original......how is that even possible? You will just have to see it to believe it. The second thing that i must talk about is the casting and acting.......my god, i couldn't have dreamed a better cast for this movie. It was damn near perfect......you know what.....it was perfect. The acting and casting was too damn good. Sure there were those classic cheesy one-liners......but they were never overdone, nor were they delivered in an ackward sense.....which really surprised me. You know the feeling you got when you watched all the acting in "The Dark Knight".....how everyone just seemed to WOW! you......this movie captures that same aspect. Job well done by everyone.....i wish i could say all of their names, but there are just too damn many.....so i will just say the main two who stood out.......spock and kirk are hands down the best. Bottom Line......coming from a star wars fan, and someone who hardly knows the subject of Star Trek......i am proud to say that this is easily hands down the best movie i have seen so far this year. To tell you the truth, i was expecting to see a pretty good movie, instead i was blown out of my seat. it was entertaining to the max.........everything was done to perfection, and done in perfect doses......from the action, to the dialogue, to the story,and even the acting. This really has everything you are looking for in a movie and more. I am now a fan of the series, and hope to god they make another just like it. So if you are someone who is a little unfamiliar with the series, like myself......i urge you to go and see this movie, because you are a damn fool if you don't. Easily the best of the year so far. I will say this time and time again, J.J. Abrams IS the next Spielberg, because he has not even come close to missing the mark.
