 enjoyable remake Jul 29, 2010
I rented the new Star Trek movie from Netflix this week.
Before I watched the movie, I had my doubts about it. After watching the movie, my doubts were eased. I found the movie to be very enjoyable.
The movie is part reboot/part prequel to the Star Trek franchise. The movie does a good job of introducing Captain Kirk, Spock, etc. to a younger generation of Star Trek fans. The movie also has some nostalgic references for the older generations of Star Trek fans.
I'm looking forward to seeing sequels that are made.
Really cool movie! Jul 29, 2010
I loved this movie. I was skeptical about a new Star Trek movie with new actors maintaining the spirit of the original series. I thought this movie did that. They also cleverly fixed it so that any future sequels can entail new stories because they are now on a different timeline of events. Now that's cool!
Freaking Delivers. Jul 28, 2010
This is not the Star Trek of my youth, and I was a big fan - yet this movie delivers the freaking goods in ways that the wussy-fied Star Trek of the nineties could only dream about (Deep Space Nine, Voyager). In this film, we're no longer in conflict about sipping 'tainted' mushroom soup (see Voyager - no, don't see it), now the stakes are real, larger than life, and important in the journey of this young crew. The entire cast raises the bar on performances, interaction, good chemistry and comedic timing. It's uncanny how much Zachary Quinto resembles Leonard Nimoy in the role of Spock, while still putting his own tweak to the character. Chris Pine IS Captain Kirk.
Dr. McCoy is lovable and comedic and played to a "T "by Karl Urban.
It is very rare - preciously rare - that a big-budget franchise employs first class effects, compelling sound, and 3 strong Acts all in the service of character-driven storytelling. "Star Trek" is that rarity. This is Star Trek as space opera, big and adventurous, and is only given proper justice by seeing it in hi-def!
Great Movie - Digital Copy no longer works!! Jul 27, 2010
Great movie - one of the best Star Trek motion pictures. Full of action and numerous near death scenes for the characters. It gives history of how the Enterprise crew originally meet - though clearly the use of space time continuum could change that history. In any case the I've watched the movie numerous times and enjoy it each time.
Well worth the purchase though the digital copy no longer works as the offer was rescinded though no comment of this in the product description - that is a bit annoying! When will these guys just let us put a copy of our purchases on our Ipod or PC so we can use it in the way we want.
