Bringing Sci-fi back to life

Rating: 10/10 (28 April 2009)

Long ago I used to watch Star Trek on TV and in the movies, but lost all interest many years ago. Yet just from the trailers I knew this movie would not be anything like before. It was all and more than I had anticipated, and from the very first moments I was at the edge of my seat, with goosebumps from the sheer enormity of the opening sequence.
It's been a while since I've seen a good sci-fi movie and it has always been one of my favourite genres as there is so much potential when done right. Star Trek had it all right and then some and will hopefully spark new interest in the genre.
The way the cast is brought together is brilliant, with a twist that allows for a whole new vantage point from which the franchise can move forward and now I can't wait for what's next and in the mean time intend to go back to see it again!
