Sheer AWESOMENESS

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2009)

I should start off by quoting a fellow movie goer at the end of this film. "Dude, you just missed the best movie ever." And to date, it is.
Star Trek was a fantastic rendition of a familiar legendary series with many a devoted fan, and few will be disappointed. I was not among them.
There are very few complaints I have about the movie, so I wish to get them out of the way first. Number one is the music, I was not sold on it. I liked the ending when they brought back the original tune from the regular Star Trek with no attempts to jazz it up or to alter it. Second, Zachary Quinto, I was not fully confident in his ability to portray Spock, he wasn't a complete failure, but I believe that his ability to further portray the character will show itself in a sequel. We'll see then.
I cannot say that there is a perfect movie, because no movie is perfect, however it doesn't get better than this. The acting was superb, the casting was nearly pitch perfect, the action breathtaking, and it leaves you feeling good and fulfilled. When I see a movie I want to leave feeling good about the experience, so does everyone else, and this has done it. I laughed, I cried, I fidgeted during times of stress on the characters, it was a fun experience.
I have to say my favorite parts of this movie are those involving the first ever Spock, Mr. Leonard Nimoy. He has the ability to command the screen with quiet confidence that few actors will ever accomplish, he is indeed commendable.
Please see this movie; fan or no. It satisfies the hunger for something better than an average film.
