Star Trek (Abrams, 09)

I went in not expecting much, but I was still excited. It opens with a great and powerful sequense, and I thought to myself, whoa, this might actually be really good. And it was. It's extremly well filmed throughout. The style of the camera angles and shakes fits the film and it's tone perfectly. I was really facinated by the cinematography, this film is eye candy. The plot is extremly well developed and so are the characters. They managed to make me give an emotional response when I was supposed to, and make me smile when I was supposed to. Thought it can be hard for Trek noobs like myself to be instantly thrown in just like that. You start to wonder, what timeline, where is that planet and so on. But, as it goes on, it manages to have me hooked all the way. Which is pretty unusual for blockbusters these days.

The acting surprised me alot, I haven't seen Pine in anything before, I thought he'd be another annoying Shia. But oh my was I wrong. He shows great charisma and shines with his acting along with Quinto. I don't really have any complains about the acting, Everyone did their part very well and clicked together in a tremendous way. The entire crew was just perfectly cast if you ask me. Bana was kind of a cliché villain though and his performance is weak.

Star Trek is funny, exciting, emotional and well developed. It's old school blockbuster film making with amazing CG and a good looking & charismatic cast. The action scenes never ceaze to entertain or thrill. John Cho shows some serious awesome-ness. You'll see what I mean when you see the film. Star Trek is one of the best blockbusters in recent memory and once of the finest films I've seen from this decade. If that's not a enough, I'll also say that it's a great addition to the Sci Fi genre.
★★★★ ½
