Star Trek (2009)

Starring: Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Eric Bana
Director: J.J. Abrams
Country: USA
Genre: Science Fiction

I don’t know… I think this Star Trek thing might be big someday.

Confession time: I’d never seen a Star Trek film before, (save for The Voyage Home when I was a young lad… so it doesn’t really count.) That being said, it’s almost more of a credit to Abrams and his crew that he was able to draw me into the world of iconic characters without feeling like I was missing something. If you stirp away the fact that it’s a Star Trek film, it would still be as appealing. It’s a tour de force in action directing, something that other directors can take a cue from. It’s stylistic for sure, but never does that get in the way of the fun time-travelling story and adrenaline inducing excitement. The cast is almost too perfect to take over for the roles, yet they all bring something new to make the characters their own. I don’t even need to say that Star Trek is one of the best science fiction movies to come out this decade.
