What a movie - great!

Rating: 9/10 (27 October 2009)

I watched the DVD twice last night. I was a bit confused with young Spock and the original Spock, however, with parallel universes etc., I found this easier to digest the second time.
What can I say that hasn't already been said. I thought the movie was great. Great to see Australian actor Eric Bana in a role I feel suited him very well, like his role in 'Chopper'. And Leonard Nimoy although aged somewhat (now nearing 80 in real earth years, in star time he may be nearing 200 earth years) he's lost non of his charisma in the role I felt, if not mellowed somewhat.
Editing, special effects, acting (loved Scotty)the young Spock, well - had not lost touch with his human half, eh? The cinematography was dazzling. A very well put together epic, and congrats to all the crew and actors who have thrilled Star Trek fans, and hope they will continue.
I feel this film could reopen a new series, that will eliminate any of the previous Star Trek themes. Exceptionally clever I feel.
I do hope they have a follow up, and I for one will be there to buy a copy of the DVD's.
