I am not a Trekkie. In fact, I've never seen a Star Trek movie or episode of the numerous Trek TV shows. The mere thought of Star Trek shows makes me roll my eyes.I was shocked to see positive reviews for the new flick. So shocked, I was willing to give it a try.
As much as I hate to admit it....I liked it! Granted, I wasn't sure what was happening half the time. But, it was pretty darn good!
The story of how the Star Trek enterprise crew came together was very well written. I enjoyed seeing the characters evolve throughout the film. I thought they did an excellent job introducing each character and making you "feel" for each one.
All the young actors did a great job -- particularly the new Spock, Zachary Quinto. Though I'm not an old school Trek fan, it was nice seeing Leonard Nimoy in the movie. However, I still don't understand how the old Spock and new Spock seemed to coexist. If anyone has some insight, please share.
I'd give this a 3...maybe 4 out of 5 stars. It's not a movie that will change your life....but it sure won't loose your attention!
