General

Rating: 8/10 (8 January 2014)

They say you are either Star Trek or Star Wars and I was formerly the latter , however these latest Star Trek movies and in this one in particular although not converting me , mean I will watch any future film in this series.
Obviously as elements of the film develop you know certain characters cannot be killed off but that does not stem from the action or get you thinking what is going to happen next.
A great start to the movie opening up the general plot line with the usual twist thrown in to make you question yourself whether you're original thoughts were right or wrong. The. Action is a constant but not ridiculously so, the scenes where the action is less the plot line keeps the film together. Moving from space to earth seamlessly and not confusing this is a great film .
However I cannot convert my 12 year old he is not a Trekkie.
