Great start to rebooted Star Trek movies

Rating: 8/10 (8 March 2015)

When Leonard Nimoy passed away this week, I thought it time to catch some of his last Star Trek appearances. The Star Trek movie 2009 does not disappoint.
If you are a fan of the original series, you will love how this movie brings in many of the qualities of the original. Kirk as a brash, no- holds-barred kid who fears nothing. Spock battling his biracial status. Bones with his country doctorness. Checkov not being understood by the computer because of his accent. Sulu sword fighting. Scotty being able to do anything and laugh about it. But Uhura being ultra sexy and manning up to Spock - that was just great.
The evil Nero as the nemesis, and what he does, is incredible. The movie moves fast and furious as this space ship from the future comes to destroy the past. Common theme, with a great twist around Spock and Vulcan.
Love the action. Love the ending how Kirk and Spock conspire and like in the originals, split second timing saves the day. When the bad guy gets his due, you will cheer when Kirk says - You got it.
It's an enjoyable fast-paced movie that will have you cheering and leave you wanting more. Enjoy.
