Action packed and exciting, would watch again!

Rating: 9/10 (10 May 2013)

I randomly decided to go see this film today because not much else was on. I've never really paid much attention to Star Trek as a series and I never even saw the 1st movie of these two, but I loved this movie, and I am pretty picky with films! (Maybe I'm biased because I'm not some oldschool trekkie, but who knows). Anyways, lots of action, a lot of edge of your seat moments, not dull at all, exciting, good acting from most. I would give it a higher score if it wasn't for Chris Pine whom I CANNOT stand as an actor. I don't know what it is about him but I just cannot take his acting seriously, and his acting is just meh, not something I would remember, competent at best. I don't know, he just didn't seem very Captain Kirk, maybe if they made a Star Trek tween movie I would understand, but this...not so much, I imagined someone a bit older and more mature to play his role. (Its like having Russel Crowe play Spock or something crazy, it just does not go!) NEVERTHELESS! I loved the film and didn't leave feeling disappointed, and Zachary Quinto's acting (Spock) was AMAZING like usual. If you're looking for a film to see and aren't sure give it a watch, you don't have to be a trekkie to enjoy it! :)
