Re-boots of movie franchises are all the craze these days. And it seems that only a few are not living up to their hype. Now I'm not a trekkie. I did like most of the older Star Trek films but I was never one to memorize all the various technologies of the Star Trek universe and/or dress up as a Vulcan (although I have thought that it would be fun). I just like watching the movies. KHANNNNNNN!!!!!!!
Well, after watching the new Star Trek, I now know that I don't need to be a trekkie to be a fan. This movie is did a great job at re-booting. I know...I know there are alot of old fans who are saying that there are continuity errors (regarding the Star Trek universe) in this movie, but I say WHO CARES! This movie will give the franchise life again!
The story is all that you would predict from the trailer. How did the original crew get together? I like the way the story started with the parallel lives of Kirk and Spock heading toward Star Fleet. Speaking of Kirk and Spock, I am still on the fence about Chris Pine, but Zachary Quinto is the new SPOCK. I never once looked at him and thought of Syler. He had giant shoes to fill but I believe he did a great f'ing job.
Other great performances go to Karl Urban and Erin Bana. From the first Dr. McCoy rant I knew he would be the best supporting character in the movie. It was just fun to watch him go off about the insanity of space and all things they were attempting to do. Brilliant! As for Bana, I like him as a villain. He should look for more roles as a villain, cus they're just fun.
Let's talk about the action. Oh Boy! lots of it! Everyone seems to get a chance to kick some ass.
Even Solo is cool as shit.
I give it an A - Awesome. Re-booting complete. Look forward to future of the franchised to blast off!
