One of the best "popcorn" movies out there!

Rating: 10/10 (10 May 2009)

Do yourself a favor and watch this movie. Doesn't matter if you didn't see Star Trek before, or even think it's cheesy.
Personally, I probably seen 10 minutes of all Star Trek before this movie, and thought that it was incredibly cheesy and stupid. (I know, shame on me). And, the only reason I went to see this movie in the first place is because of Mr. Abrams - I loved his previous projects.
And yet... this movie blew me away. J.J. Abrams and his crew made sure that the movie would be enjoyable for EVERYONE. The 126 minutes run-time felt like 10 minutes at most - the film is paced incredibly well. There's not one boring moment.
The excellent cast helps too. I was most impressed by Chris Pine, who was simply excellent for the role of Kirk.
Overall, just go see this movie. I could go on and on about how great the CGI was, how well done the dialog was (has to be Orci's and Kurtzman's best work yet) and how fitting the music was (Michael Giacchino)... but the truth is, you just have to see it for yourself.
Live long and prosper.
