Great Movie Excellent on IMAX

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2013)

Brilliant movie that moves Star Trek forward, but retains the essence of what Star Trek is about. I love Star Trek from the 60s but you don't need to be a fan or know anything about it, to enjoy this movie. The cast are perfect, as they are fresh, but they are also believable as the earlier incarnations of the original Star Trek. The action is swift and eye catching, literally in 3D, but the under-laying message is a reflection of the society we live in today. Some may say this film is a remake and in a way it is, but it is totally different to the original series of films and works as a standalone film. If you never heard of Star Trek before, no problem as this film plays out in its own way. As a fan of the original TV show I appreciate Star Trek has always been groundbreaking and had a message played out by characters that are believable and likable. That remains in the new movie and the positive ethos that is in Star Trek, remains as true today, as ever.
