Well it’s been a  few weeks now since the movie came out so I felt it was time for me to give my review on the movie.

It was one of those movies that lived up to the hype. It was well worth the extra wait. I have been looking forward to this movie since the day it was announced and then more so after I got my hands on the teaser poster which proudly hangs on my wall.

The trailers did a very good job of not leaking any of the info regarding Nimoy’s appearance in the movie, we all knew he was going to be Spock but not what his part in the movie.Thanks to those who prevented that from happening.

The actors were great in their rolls. They had those quirks fans could recognize.The “I’m a doctor not a… ” “I’m giving it all she got.” ” live long and prosper.” etc were in the movie as well and would have been missed if they had not been there.

Chris Pine turning Kirk into his own worked out very well. His take was so new and fresh it was enjoyable.

Zachary Quinto’s Spock was dead on. He had all the quirks along with making  Spock his own. He brought something new but it was still Spock.

I knew Leonard Nimoy was to be in the film and was incorporated very well. I was waiting for him to appear on screen. The old Spock worked well in the story line.  The time travel thing and Star Trek have gone hand in hand for a long time.

The special effects were great. It was good that there was nothing spared on that one.

The product placements were surprising as well as entertaining as well. Especially, since it was in a Star Trek movie. At least there wasn’t any sighting of the Burger king  King with a Whopper or something or worse the kingons who want to steal your glasses from Bk.

Every time the Vulcan salute was shown on screen my friend and I and some others in the theater also did the salute.  including the guy next to me with a bad case of gas. Talk about a gas giant. It made it a more fun movie going experience especially since there was no crying babies or couples making out except on screen.

I loved the action scenes especially Sulu and his fencing.It was great to see that in there.  I would have been a little disappointed if it hadn’t and they made him like a wrestler or something. Though that would have been entertaining as well.

People need to remember this is a revamping of Star Trek. Yes, some things were changed from what we know but its Star Trek its broken its own rules,changed timelines,etc  in the past.

You can like it or you can hate it we are all entitled to our opinons but do not need to bash those whose opinion differs.  Star Trek is about acceptance.

This movie was definitely one of those ones you can see over and over again that has continued to keep it one of the top grossing movies of the summer.

I have high hopes that there wil be a sequel but if not then this was a great stand alone movie.
