A great start but still left wanting for more

Rating: 7/10 (16 May 2013)

OK, so this review comes from a guy who has not watched an ST movie prior to the one in 2009. So, hopefully, my views would be taken as unbiased coming from a genuine movie lover and cinema goer.
The movie starts off brilliantly with Chris Pine being at his best as a rebel with a good heart and bravery. He shows his deduction skills very well, ironically in a movie that has Benedict Cumberbatch (in my view the best Sherlock that has ever been played). Benedict continues his good work as an actor in this movie as well. 30 minutes into the movie and you know this is going to be one hell of a movie.
But then it starts to drag a little bit. The ending seemed very predictable with a few questions that may linger on in your mind once it ends.
ST has got the right mix of twists, humor, drama, emotions and of course the special effects. Its definitely a one time watch for its visuals, acting and the humour!
