One of the best of the decade

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2009)

Let me start by saying that I have not always liked Star Trek. My wife converted me only a few months ago, but even before that, I had wanted to see this movie.
The anticipation wasn't in vain. Everything about this film from the opening sequences to the end grab you by the Starfleet shirt collar and pulls you in. The camera and special effects make it intense, while the plot makes it fast paced and absorbing.
One of the truly great things about this film is the acting, and the actors. The actors look, sound and act like the original actors, making it feel like you're not watching William Shatner or Leonard Nimoy, but that you're watching Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock. The acting is simply great.
One thing I worried about going into the movie was that they would try to make it too nostalgic. Try to make it too old-school. They didn't. However, they didn't update it too much either. That is one of the most amazing things, one that you will be talking about when you are leaving. Classic lines are used, but not over-used.
This film is Star Trek, so die-hard fans will be giddy with excitement. Less hardcore fans will be enthralled, and there will certainly be folks that will be seeing it, because it is simply an incredible movie.
