Brilliant Spectacular Addition to the Star Trek Series

Rating: 8/10 (22 May 2013)

So Star Trek 2? or 12? was a really good movie. I seriously enjoyed it.
Now firstly I just want to get this off my chest, JJ I think you do good work...sometimes...but you don't know how to do space battles. Except for like two scenes, I could never tell what was going on in the battles, everything was just too dark or fast. Which some people might actually like, but personally I found it annoying. Other than that I felt like other direction was good, Character scenes, which I'm glad there was more of in this movie as opposed to the first one which was more action, um I felt like they were well paced, the acting was excellent, whoever did the casting for this did an excellent job getting the right people for the job. Everyone looks, sounds and most importantly acts the part that they were meant for. Especially Karl Urban as Bones, Simon Pegg as Scotty and Zach Quinto as Spock.
Karl Urban, did a very good job playing Bones. lines delivered exactly as I would have expected to hear them if they were being delivered by the original DeForest Kelly. Simon Pegg as Scotty is just hilarious, not in a bad way. in a very good way the way that old scotty was funny and Zach plays a very believable half Vulcan human trying to hold in his feelings and in the movie when he does loose control of his feelings wow. But all of the actors did great I just felt like they did the best.
Also the scenery in the movie and visuals were beautiful and spectacular. Like Future London and *Spoilers!*The Enterprise rising from the ocean and the Dreadnaught class ship coming out of warp right in front of the Enterprise to show how massive it is in comparison*spoilers!* I guess the only thing I have a real problem with is the story, which is not bad by an means in fact in a lot of areas it was very clever. Though it felt more like a Star Trek movie than the previous one in 2009 It still had a few problems. They might be minor to people who are not fans of Star Trek like me, but I've felt like the recent Star Treks have been turning into Star Wars. Too much action not enough ethical dialogue, Star Trek was always good at bringing up moral dilemmas, I never got that with this movie(or the last one for that matter) But I still think its worth a watch, its probably one of the best movies that came out so far this year in fact I would say it is the best movie I have seen so far this year.
