Star Trek
Star Trek poster

Not a Trekkie, but as a casual fan of the many Star Trek series and movies, I was only mildly enthusiastic about this movie before seeing it. It had been well-reviewed, but I just wasn't that excited about seeing it becuase the cast had nobody I wanted to see.

After several months, I saw it at The Picture Show and it was well worth it. The casting was fun, and the plot centered on the origin-story of the Enterprise that I had never seen before. Much of the movie was rewarding and exciting, but the special effects were a bit bombastic.

The movie worked best as a character study between Kirk and Spock. It was a good popcorn movie that delivered more than what I expected, and I'm glad to have seen it on the big screen.

It should satisfy fans of Sci-Fi in general and Star Trek in particular, but it won't make any new fans of Star Trak that didn't already exist. It worked as an effective re-boot of the franchise, and I'd look forward to seeing this cast again in the next installment.
