Live Long and Prosper Star Trek

Rating: 9/10 (26 October 2010)

I really liked this movie. It had a good story, great action, likable characters, humor, and didn't try to overload itself.
J.J. Abrams, who previously directed "Mission: Impossible III", blew me out of the water with this film. You could know next to nothing about "Star Trek" and still enjoy it.
The film was very well cast, with Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto doing superb jobs as Kirk and Spock, respectively. Zoe Saldana did well as Uhura, and Karl Urban was also a standout as Bones. Anton Yelchin, John Cho, and Simon Pegg fill out the rest of the U.S.S. Enterprise crew very well, with several humorous one-liners from Pegg as Scotty.
Eric Bana plays Romulan baddie Nero, who wants revenge on Spock for something that has yet to occur. Bana played this role extremely well and had several standout moments. I'm still not sure why Tyler Perry (yes, that Tyler Perry) was in this, though. Look for a classic "Star Trek" character about midway through the film. Trust me, you won't miss him.
The action in this film is good too. There are several cool space battle scenes, and an intense confrontation between Kirk and Spock.
I'd recommend this movie for sci-fi fans, or people who love adventure movies.
