What a film!

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2013)

--NO SPOILERS-- Although viewers who haven't seen the original Star Trek series/films or the 2009 film may struggle relating to the characters, this film is outstanding. I went to see this with my partner, her step-father and his wife and we all enjoyed it. Her father is a massive fan of the original series, where as my partner and I were fans of TNG, Voyager and the 2009 film, but we were on the edge of our seats the whole time. Action, Drama, mystery, romance, crime, thrills, comedy, twists and turns; this film has it all. JJ Abrams has directed this film extraordinarily well, and fortunately got rid of much of the lens flare that became OTT in the 2009 film. It has given me faith in him to carry on the Star Wars legacy, of which he has recently been announced as director.
Well done to all the cast and crew, you should be proud!
Go see this film, ignore your cold or achy back, seeing this gem on the big screen will make it all worth it!
