I went in pretty sceptical having to see one more Star trek movie after years of watching it on TV in my childhood. Yet another attempt at banking on an old classic? But hey! I was pleasantly surprised. It’s indeed a very good movie.
Captain James Kirk (Chris Pine…..not the one that goes by the name “Negotiator” on Priceline!!) and Spock (Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy from the old series as his time travelled self) start out in this movie as kids showing their traits while they were growing up and then landing up together on the same starship first as bitter enemies later turning into friends for life!!
Loads of exciting adventure. Lots of action, fight scenes, explosions and everything else that makes Star Trek series so popular. Supporting them are a host of stars like Eric Bana (as Nero), Zoe Saldana (Uhura), Simon Pegg (“Beam me up, Scotty!” fame Scotty himself), Karl Urban (Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy), Anton Yelchin (Chekov), John Cho (Hikaru sulu) and Bruce Greenwood (Capt. Pike).
Directed by JJ Abrams, who was not even a fan of Star Trek and had not seen it before!! Admirable job nevertheless!!
My recommendation: Go watch it in a theater…you can’t get the same effect anywhere else!!
My rating:
