Great Flick!

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2013)

I didn't know what to expect with this movie but was pleasantly surprised. The action scenes were fantastic and the banter between all the characters was spot on, especially Karl Urban as Dr. McCoy, DeForest Kelley would be proud. I have been a big Trek fan since I was about 10 when the original series went into syndication, I am now 53. The first movie(09) was disappointing when the timeline was changed as I am a real stickler for Trek history. This iteration of the next movie in the franchise made up for the first movie. JJ Abrams and the other writers included homage to the original series without being too overt. We get to see more interaction and the basis of the friendship between Kirk and Spock, we learn more about Uhura and Spock's relationship, we get to see Uhura as an woman of action and we get to see a new incarnation of a villain. I really liked this movie and hope any others in the future will be just as good.
