Great Fun....ignore the nit pickers

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2013)

Maybe I'm just easily entertained. Maybe I just enjoy big action science fiction movies so much that I am willing to over look what I consider minor imperfections. I am a die hard Star Trek fan who can trace his love for the show all the way back to the original run of the original series. Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, "Bones" McCoy and the rest of the crew of the fictional star ship always kept me entertained no matter how bad some of the scripts were. And believe me...I do recall some bad bad episodes...the Space Hippies episode comes to mind. But I digress.
Yes....this was pretty much a non stop action ride. Yes it had some holes in the script. Yes it had some clichés. But I enjoyed the action. I enjoyed the acting....yes I said the acting. Brendan whats his name (I am afraid to write his last name for fear of misspelling it) stole the show as "John Harrison aka....oohps....can't say that name" as the main villain. But Chris Pine as Kirk and Zachery Quinto as Spock had their acting moments too. The supporting cast also had their moments too.
As to the nit pickers who dissect such minor points as the use of such expressions as "my God" and "Good God"....give me a break. I can't swear to it but I do believe that those expressions may have been used in the original show. I really believe that many of the people who are giving this movie a 1, 2 , or 3 star rating went in predisposed to hating this movie. Give this movie a chance. Decide for yourself.
