An excellent Star Trek entry finally

Rating: 10/10 (15 May 2013)

This movie has everything that one can expect from a Star Trek franchise. The story is quite strong and the actors do full justice to their roles.
The 3D part was pretty impressive too although could have been better. I suppose one can only do so much when movies are converted to 3D but at no point did I find the visuals eye-gouging or unnecessarily dark. The post-production almost feels like authentic 3D.
The cast has performed really well. The characters of Kirk and Spock are in top-form and Benedict Cumberbatch performs impressively as expected. There wasn't much work for Uhura in the movie but that portion is well taken care-of.
Full marks to Mr. Spock for an extremely competent performance and the way he takes the movie forward. This story has emotion, drama, action, visuals, what have you. I'll probably watch it again soon.
