Star Trek

Nicely done! Just saw the movie today and it is very impressive. True to form and with plenty of references to "the history" of the show to tie the story together well. Even those who are not a Trek fan will enjoy this movie!

awesome one of my all time favorites

Very fast moving and enjoyable. Highly entertaining it absorbed you from start to fnish. Very good cameo from Leonard Nimoy. Highly recommended , great soundtrack and looking forward to any follow up. Thumbs-up from me!

I'm 50-50 on this one. It had moments, but it didn't spark the humor that was at the core of the relationship between Kirk-Spock-Dr. McCoy. It was like a junkie getting a fix for me, because I miss going to see Star Trek. So I would have seen almost anything. And it was good, I will see it again, but it wasn't the greatest. Uhura went from a respectable intelligent officer to a manipulative whore, and Spock lets himself be manipulated. What is up with that?
I Definitely agree though - Leonard Nimoy is still pretty hot!!

Great movie, seen it twice once on IMAX (makes the movie more amazing), and I'm a die hard Star Wars fan (fanboy, lucas hound, whatever) and it was better than most of the Star Wars episodes! Great movie all together!

First: The artistry of the film was simply phenomenal. J.J. has shown that he fancies light distortion in his earlier film Transformers but it was much more fitting with this one. A simple turn of the camera and the light flicks across a face, the light halos, pale speckles of light dance across the screen. I found it to be captivating, beautiful in a way. And the sound was another thing I adored. It was stunning when the Enterprise dropped out of warp, guns blazing, the theme playing loud and strong. As a musician, I just couldn't help but listen to the lovely soundtrack behind the wonderful visuals. Bravo. I loved the sound effects and how they played them off.

Second: I was stunned to see my lovely, Leonard Nimoy, in the film. Oh. My. Lord. Even at 78, he isn't all that bad looking. He is a phenomenal actor, starring in many movies and an accomplished photography and director. But, as I said, I was thrilled as he turned to face the camera to reveal himself as Prime Spock. It was great that he appeared and that he was able to be more involved beyond just acting.

Third: The cast, although not my preference as I like the originals better, was well chosen for the parts and they portrayed their characters properly, most of the time.
- Chris Pine did a good job on getting the swagger and smugness of Captain James Kirk and his acting was good. I liked him.
- Zachary Quinto did a very good job on showing a younger Spock and his emotional reactions. I thought he was well-chosen by the great Spock himself.
- Chris Hemsworth was simply wonderful in this film. He portrayed all the right emotions and he was a lovely addition.

I'm done.

Je n'avais jamais vu de vieux Star Trek car je trouvai ça ringard surtout avec la parodie de Kansas, mais ce film ma fait apprécier cette univers de science fiction, je suis pas étonner qu'il ai fait le deuxième meilleur démarrage de l'année 2009 aux USA, allez le voir (en Haute Définition si vous avez la possibilité)

PS : C'est une nouvelle SAGA donc il n'est pas nécessaire d'avoir vu les autres Star Trek

I originally wrote this to a group of coworkers with whom I often share my opinions on late films. I really felt like I'd like to share this opinion with fan of the movie just to see what feedback I might get. It goes something like this:

Star Trek – O! M! G!

As a science fiction loving kid, I’d watched lots of movies and television shows of that genre. While it was usually the incredible machines and weird creatures that captured my imagination, there finally came a day when I realized that a well crafted story was essential to a movie, no matter the genre. That was the day I saw ‘The Empire Strikes Back’.

Anyone who has ever heard my long-winded digest of the Star Wars movies knows how much I loved the first two. More than the machines and creatures, it was the interplay between characters and the deepening plot that held me spell-bound when first I saw those movies. It was also the first time I had actually appreciated how important a good score is in telling the story. Those movies created in me a certain expectation for story, plot and character development and complimentary score, as well as screen play and special effects. I’d begun to compare all “adventurous” types of epics, not just science fiction, to a standard I set by what had actually become my all-time favorite science fiction movie: ‘The Empire Strikes Back’. While a precious few movies have been able to approach that standard, none had ever surpassed it…

…until now.

Star Trek clears the standard in spades! Admittedly, the movie has the support of a hugely popular TV series behind it. But J. J. Abrams’ hope was that he wouldn’t simply put that series back on the movie screen again. He’d hoped to create a movie that could serve both the entertainment demands of today’s younger movie goers, as well as the expectations of the baby-boomer, TV series watchers of days ago.

He did!
