past and future combine

Rating: 6/10 (31 May 2014)

James T Kirk is training to become a member of the Starfleet, when an attack is being held at the Vulcan planet. The Starfleet sends the Enterprise, their new starship, to investigate the situation. Kirk discovers, during the flight that the attackers are the same ones that had attacked his father's ship in the past. After that he finds himself captaining the Enterprise with the person who hates the most, Mr Spock. The story line is clean and neat, keeping a simple but entertaining line of events that doesn't get the audience confused. The past and future combine nicely, providing a good picture of what is happening and what will happen in the end. The performances are good too, not great though. And the lines seem to be forced to be funny, sometimes they succeed , sometimes they don't. An other annoying thing about the movie are the lights that keep changing, from bright to dark, throughout the bigger length of the movie. But the music is good, very 'star trek', the special effects quite convincing and the action scenes enough and not tiring, which is always a dangerous path for this kind of films. So 6 out of 10, because it is enjoyable but not perfect.
