Yes it's that amazing!

Rating: 10/10 (8 May 2009)

I'm not a sci-fi geek. In fact my favorite sci-fi movie of all time is Serenity and closely following that is Gattaca and 12 Monkeys. I don't count myself as either a fan of Star Trek or Star wars I've enjoyed both franchises but none of them really drove me crazy. I entered Star Trek with high expectations though the trailers were awesome and the reviews have just been astounding. 95% positive last time I checked on Rotten Tomatoes.com. And let me tell I was no where near being disappointed. The film is incredible it's adrenaline fused mind blowing entertainment. Sort or a remake but not really the film follows the early years of the shows famous characters on their first battle mission. And it is exciting. The story is great, the direction from J.J. Abrams is near flawless the casting is exceptional except for a mediocre turn by Eric Bana as Nero. The spfx miraculous. The cinematography fantastic. The score goose bump inducin. And the film is well paced and very exciting. But lets get to the casting first. Chris Pine is handsome I don't think he's hot but his performance is endearing and he completely embraces the raw sexuality and cockiness of Captain Kirk. Zachary Quinto is perfect as Spock especially in the moments when his character breaks through his emotional guard. Zoe Saldana is also really darn good as Ahora I've never much liked or disliked her in other films but she is really at home here. John Cho working his way over from his comedic lead in the Harold and Kumar films is really impressive as Sulu. Simon Pegg is of course wonderful as Scotty although i wish there had been more of him, Anton Yelchin is incredible as Chekov and Karl urban is perfect as Bones. The film is funny and very well directed by J.J. Abrams which fuses tehf ilm with a sense of realism although what your seeing on screen is fictional. There is a fluidity in it and he keeps the emotional connection high so that you can really that whats happening on film is really happening. this movie is quite an experience I really have nothing negative to say about only that I saw it at 9:50 and the last show already went in. So I guess I'll have to wait tiltmrw to check it out again. P.s. there are even some welcome side performances from Ben Cross, Winona Ryder, Leonard Nimoy and Tyler Perry yes that Tyler Perry. Enjoy people this film has set the bar extremely high for summer movies and movies in genneral. The best movie of the year and one of my new favorites!
