Reboot successful

Rating: 9/10 (9 April 2011)

At last, after more of ten years, a DECENT Star Trek movie. The "TNG" ones were pretty lame, and the "TOS" ones were a mixed bag. Then, we came to this one, which, by Sci-Fi-Fantasy standards, it's pretty good!.
Of course, the main criticisms of this movie will come from Trek fanboys, angry because "they raped our beloved characters" or comments such as these. Nonsense. By prequels standards, this movie is a respectful and well crafted nod to a cheesy TV series of the 60s. And, yeah, the "timeline erase" issue. All I can say is: if this movie has saved the Star Trek Universe of movies such as The Final Frontier, Generations and Nemesis, then, deserves praise just for that.
The main problem I found in this movie, is that some plot devices just defy all credibility. (SPOILERS!) So, Kirk lands in some ice planet, ejected by stupid Spock, only to find elder Spock (good to see you, Mr. Nimoy) just a couple miles around, who coincidently has the explanation about the plot. Oh, and Scotty is around there also. That's convenient. And there's more of these.
But aside that, the story is just fine. The acting is intense and excellent, the effects are good, the tone is adventurous, and, overall, it's a good cinematic experience. Check it out.
9/10
