did not expect it, but definitely did like it.

Rating: 8/10 (5 March 2012)

Just like there are "coffee drinkers" and "thee drinkers", like there are "dog lovers" and "cat lovers", I guess there have always been "Star trek lovers" and "Star wars lovers". I am neither a hater, nor fan of either but if I had to chose, I would have to go for star wars. Having that said, for some reason this movie ended up in my watch-list. The only criteria, for choosing this movie over others in this list, was that I wanted a long, action movie, and so tonight, I went out on a limp ;) and sat down for this two hour adventure, with no expectations. Well, I was not disappointed, if anything, I was pleasantly surprised. The action, I got it, and then some. Two hours, gone in a flash. A lot of familiar faces, visually believable and beautiful even when watching on-line. It does not have the "old" (or "nostalgiq" for fans, I guess) feeling to it, in stead it's fresh, yet it does have all the familiar factors in it, so that even I (someone who has maybe seen 10 episodes in my life)can relate it to Star trek. To me, it's definitely better, than the average satisfying movie, hence an eight.
