Really good but could've been better

Rating: 9/10 (16 May 2009)

I went to see Star Trek having hated every single series before and moaning to my dad whenever he decided he wanted to watch an episode.
The movie starts off with a good old battle scene which, if I must admit was very short lived. That I find is a crucial reason why I didn't give this movie the full marks which it good've got from me. The final battle scene and the first battle scene- although uses great usage of SFX- was so short that by the time the scenes had finished, you'd only just got into them. On the other hand; it is a refreshing change from the now necessary urge of director's to make huge battle scene's which go on for over 1/2 hour, I'll let you make your own choice.
Apart from this point, the movie is pretty awesome. The special effects are amazing and so are the sets. The plot centres around the rescue of the commander of enterprise and also James Kirk's urge to become the captain of the enterprise.
All in all, if you want a great movie with amazing special effects then this is the movie for you. However if you want a movie with huge battle scenes. Don't bother
