A great movie which kept the main traditional Star Trek legacy and made necessary and great improvements

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2013)

This is the second edition to the Star Trek franchise created by JJ Abrams. The first movie by JJ Abrams was very good and this was even better. There were the same familiar actors as before and this time new characters some from 'the wrath of Khan' and they were played perfectly and there was really good casting. The characters all changed and showed their own strong personalities and sense of identity throughout the movie and many emotional connections between the crew and other characters were shown. The story was not as complex as the first movie and it wasn't completely necessary to watch the first movie but it would help for understanding. The story was brilliant and had many twists and at many times it was uncertain what was going to happen and who was the villain, it was very clever but at some times may have been a little bit fast which wasn't a negative point but may not be preferred by some people whom prefer a slower movie and it does therefore need attention to understand. The background music was very important for the effects of several emotional scenes which both created a sense of awe and a sense of familiarity and emotion and so did the use of keeping the traditional and most favourite things of the original movies. The movie moved through smoothly and was non- stop action and suspense, but still had a few spaces with some character and humor to catch your breath. The animations and special effects of the movie was greatly used and was the most important tool in modernizing the old start trek effects.
