Today I saw the new Star Trek Movie, in this post I will give my overall thoughts on the movie itself without giving away any spoilers. I am a fan of the entire franchise (5 TV series and 10 movies), but my favorite by far is The Original Series.
First let me say that JJ Abrams did a fantastic job in revitalizing the franchise. The movie itself has a great story, a great villain, and of course the old characters that both casual fans and Trekkies love. The opening sequence is amazing and sets the tone for new Trek. I think the movie was fantastic, I will buy the Blu-ray, go to all the sequels.
Leonard Nimoy’s participation is key in both bridging the story and bring legitimacy to the movie with the more hardcore fans. I cannot say more to this without spoilers. In the dialogue there are many references that will be lost on the casual fan but are gold nuggets to the more hardcore fans. The actors and the writing for each character really made it feel a kinship to the original characters. The story itself is well written and clear, with great action and character development.
So basically I give it 4.5 stars as a SciFi fan and 4 Stars as a Trekkie.
Below, one of my all times favorite Trek scenes.
