A treat for everyone!

Rating: Null/10 (9 May 2009)

This movie is a treat for the Trek fans, sci-fi fans and those that are simply out to see a good action movie. All will be pleased. This movie breaks away from the standard "over-the-top" boy-scout characters of previous movies and us some good "edgy" characters instead.
The movie is mainly centered around Kirk and how he came to be in command of the Enterprise, in a time of crisis. It's grand in scope and you get to meet all the principal Trek characters all over again. Except this time their younger, edgier and some things about them are different... it's all explained in the movie.
This movie has a lot going for it - fantastic visuals, fast pacing and interesting characters. The Spock and Kirk roles were cast very well and the rest of the cast does a fine job as well.
IMAX: Don't worry if you don't see it in IMAX - it's not a real IMAX movie (it was 'enlarged' to fit IMAX, not filmed in IMAX). I liked it fine on the huge screen, but you might actually get a crisper image on a normal sized theater screen.
This is a wonderful summertime sci-fi action flick for just about everyone. If you go out to see any movies this year, this one of those "don't miss" movies for 2009.
