Made me like star trek

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2009)

I should start off by saying that sense I was a boy, the name even saying the words "star trek" made me feel like a nerd. My parents were trekies in their day, and I wanted no part of it. You can imagine my low expectations when I was pressured into seeing this movie. I really don't know how J.J. Abrams did it, but I left with - at the very least - an appreciation of star trek. Even in flashbacks of Kirk's childhood, the kid who played him was a splendid actor (and I normally HATE child actors). I would definitely recommend it to my friends... I mean, i still feel a little awkward talking about that forbidden nerdom of star trek, but this movie made me like it.
