Beam me up, but wait till I almost explode

Rating: 7/10 (24 October 2013)

I like Star Trek. I guess this is a Star Trek movie. I haven't escaped the feeling that the new folks aren't acting like actors of the original TV series. Another feeling that bothers me is the attempt to make these new movies slick and dramatic when the original was far-out and cheesy.
Anyways, the actual movie was an enjoyable story. A little terrorism, twists and turns. Sacrifice must be made, real emotions and conflict for Kirk and the gang. Very nice. The incorporation of the old cast movie story lines was also a very nice tip of the cap to die hard trekies. J.J. is truly a fan and I think that shows in this work.
A bit much with the explosions and dangling from this saucer and that cliff and beaming at the last moment and opening the door just in time so we don't smash into it when sky diving through outer space into a garbage shoot and stopping the bomb before it blows, etc...
Fun movie, creative infusion of Star Trek legacy, will make this a good one for Trekies. Average movie goer, just a one time action romp.
