In order to earn tall rewards in life you have to retract stout risks. If there is one thing that the Star Pace universe hasn’t done in 20-25 years its win risks. The franchise has suffered greatly for it, continuing to follow a formulaic arrive that has made the franchise frail, predictable, and for quite a while… Stupid. Not sick, not on life befriend, but D-E-A-D.

Those days are over.
The 11th feature presentation is quite simply the first Sizable Star Lunge movie ever made. While others in the series have been appetizing, there was no definitive movie that stood out, nothing that could be pointed to as something fresh, something special, something that takes RISKS.

What you secure here is the biggest risk that has ever been taken in the Star Saunter universe in its 40+ years of existence.
I will not destroy this risk but if you are a fan of the movies at all you will know it when you observe it. Being a long time fan of Star Traipse (I am a Next Generation first and foremost) and having seen the trailer numerous times I figured out what was going to happen about 20 minutes before it did but that didn’t discontinuance the shock when I witnessed this awesome writing decision played out on the astronomical veil. The strongest of Star High-tail lovers (especially TOS people) will no doubt have a lot of outrage at this risk but it was the moral proceed to gain. The Star Slip franchise needed to be shaken up, it needed something unusual and it needed a movie to shock and fear the audience.
Man did it ever tell.
This movie is an absolute JOY to experience. Spock was always my current TOS personality as he probably was for most fans, but I never felt the connection to this cast that I did to Picard, Data, Worf and the Next Gen cast so I really didn’t care what changes they made (and there is another major change that involves 2 characters that you never have experienced before in TOS history) if they were for the better. In all cases these were for the better and executed with near-perfection by JJ Abrams (who might later be revered on the same level as Gene Rodenberry if this re-visioning [this is powerful more than a simple reboot] succeeds like I contemplate it will) .
Since I don’t like getting too deep into spoilers with reviews instead of focusing on the account (try your best to finish ignorant as possible of the epic so its fresher when you ogle the film) I will instead focus on the characters we know so well (and some we don’t) .
True To The Character We Know
Spock (played by Zachary Quinto) - Even though Kirk (ahhem William Shatner) was advertised as the lead of TOS, the exact centerpiece was Spock. The work here by Quinto is beyond exceptional and complements the unbelievable work done by Leonard Nimoy the past 40 years. Quinto plays the character as well as you could imagine and the loyal special thing in this movie is that finally (FINALLY) the half human side of Spock is heavily examined. It is a major share of the movie and no doubt will continue to be focused on in future films. Spock is no more or less necessary to the crew and tale as he always has been. Other actors could do lesser work (they didn’t) but the movie franchise will only succeed as well as Quinto acts. The character is in the best of hands.
Bones (played by Karl Urban) - The gem of the entire movie without interrogate. Karl Urban takes the difficult role of playing not only Bones but Bones played by DeForest Kelley and is he ever fantastic. It’s a complete joy to see his character on the camouflage. Urban doesn’t need to do anything different in future films. You can jabber how hard he worked to sustain the Bones character as he has always been and he hits a home rush out of the park. Extraordinary fantastic wonderful
Scotty (played by Simon Pegg) - We don’t meet Scotty until far into the movie but Pegg does a mountainous job doing James Doohan. Since Scotty was always kind of the “middle” character on the exhibit where he wasn’t wasted but wasn’t the tops (Spock, Kirk, Bones) all Pegg had to do was do a ample Scotty and hopefully the script-writers would give him more to do. This is the case here.
Revisions And Improvements Made
Kirk (played by Chris Pine) - No longer do we secure the ultra womanizing, overacting of Kirk/William Shatner but we earn instead a focus on the risk-taking side of Kirk and this is the Kirk that I could truly learn to appreciate. Over and over again we gaze why Kirk in Star Slither canon is revered so distinguished and his remove no prisoners arrive is build on the front burner all throughout this film. Pine is confident and does a amazing job. I don’t care how revered Shatner is, the writers got it proper with this re-visioning of Kirk and it’s thumbs up all the scheme.
Sulu (played by John Cho) - Not powerful to say here. Cho was magnificent but nothing astonishing in his performance. Sulu fights a puny bit but hopefully more focus can be made on him in the future, no problems here but nothing jumps out.
Uhura (played by Zoe Saldana) - As a communications officer her role is Noteworthy better in this re-visioning. She is given more vivid input by the script-writers but the one major canon change of Uhura (which I can’t go into detail in this review) I am tranquil trying to settle how I feel about. Her mod is the 2nd biggest risk/mod taken in the movie.
Complete Rewrite
Chekov (played by Anton Yeltin) - Except for being Russian and making fun of his thick accent this is a completely novel character and man was this a serious improvement. Instead of the bumbling doofus that really doesn’t do anything now Chekov is a ultra-young uber-intelligent officer that plays pivotal parts in the movie. Yes this was a serious canon change but I can’t imagine how any fan wouldn’t approve because now you have a proper character you can be emotionally attached to.
New Characters
Nero (played by Eric Bana) - Bana instantly becomes one of the main villains in Star Scoot lore and in my concept because of events in the movie he now becomes THE single villain in Star Wobble history. I wish Nero could have been on the mask more but with only 2 hours and so many people to regain on the veil I contemplate the fair balance was struck.
Old Friends
XXX - You will know who this is when you notice them. I have no complaints other than one voice-over fragment where the narration seems a bit comic and uninspired but I also reflect this is because of the circumstance how they are speaking. This musty friend was a +++ to the movie and not impartial a ploy to score people in the seats. A welcome addition to the movie and spot.
Intangibles
Bridge - The unusual bridge is the most delicate bridge you will ever contemplate. Some say it looks ‘too sexy’ or ‘too bright’ but THIS is how the bridge should have always looked. Please please please don’t change it for the future films. You have already achieved the perfect study.
Score - The one downside of the movie. The 3rd trailer featured some of the most beautiful background earn ever and my hopes were very high. The acquire that is featured in the movie is serviceable but doesn’t inspire. I was disappointed with the ruin result. It’s alright but it could have been so considerable more.
IMO ‘Star Trek’ achieves what only 1 Star Dawdle movie (IV - The Voyage Home) came halt to doing and that is being a successful film to the general public, not unprejudiced Star Scramble fans in general. This is the quickest 2 hours you will consume this summer and an absolute joy. I can watch several movies being made with this cast and I hope several are made. The events of this film design for a realistic advance to the unusual cast working anew in these fresh revisions. As the movie ended I wished I could depart ahead 2-3 years in time to ogle the next chapter and the next and the next.
Everyone likes to unsuitable the movies in order and I knew 1 hour in this was EASILY (stamp I don’t even flinch when I say EASILY EASILY EASILY) the greatest Star Straggle movie ever made. You know a movie succeeds when a character or a movie itself feels like candy for the brain (last year Heath Ledgers Joker was the ultimate ‘candy’) and this is some yummy candy.
If you are a Star Lunge fan go examine it and try to have an commence mind for what you will glimpse. Many will be stunning with the changes made. For the ones that aren’t would you rather have changes and recent Star Stagger movies or the same traditional same dilapidated that had ruined the franchise for so long (kudos to Rick Berman as the official murderer of ST)??? If you are objective a person that loves movies you (yes YOU) can even savor Star Lumber as this movie has been produced not impartial for the Trekkie but the every day Joe and Jane.
***** HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION
I spent two hours on a wonderfully sunny Saturday afternoon to look Star Stagger and it was worth every minute/penny. Color me impressed. If you’re familiar with the series then you’ll probably view several characters you know, impartial in a younger form:
If you haven’t seen the series though then apprehension not because that’s definitely not a pre-requisite. Other than saying that this movie is a pre-quel to the approved passe school iteration of the series, there’s not noteworthy I can say that without spoiling the really fun location. Having only seen a few episodes of the fresh series though, I walked out not only glowing impressed and delighted but I actually wanted to spy up worn episodes (which are available legally online at Hulu and TV.com and others) because it got me really keen in the show’s storyline. From talking to my friend who was a fan of the series, I’m not distinct how well the position fits in with the series that succeeds it, but I have a theory that I can’t piece without spoiling the movie. Anyway, there were several nods to the series to give fans that giddy nerdgasm that you can only fetch from being in the know on the series.
Every aspect of this movie was really savory. They all came together to accomplish a genuinely fun movie experience. I consider almost every actor fit their role very well - especially newcomer Chris Pine as James T Kirk and Zachary Quinto (Sylar) as Spock. By the draw, don’t glance at the IMDB cast list because it has a few spoilers. The station had a few minor issues, but I didn’t accept any of them to be dealbreakers. The script was strong, but had a few minor issues (mainly a couple of scenes I didn’t believe needed to be in there) that I didn’t assume were very noticeable. Even though it was more than 2 hours long it really didn’t feel that long and there was an vast amount of welcome laughable relief sprinkled throughout the film. Oh, and the visuals were tasteful and well done. You have to seek information from a lot of CG in a movie like this, and that’s probably the only precise downside to the movie. If you’re one of those purists who hates seeing CG, then you’ll definitely remove stutter with this.
I highly recommend running to your nearest theater to peruse this one. I’m actually probably going to pre-order it on Blu-ray, in fact, so that I can look it again. It’s one of those movies where I can’t pick all the scenes because there were so many astronomical scenes and they were quite dense. I’d say it’s a solid A movie and appropriate for the whole family. There was almost no nudity and no unpleasant language, although the region may be too complex for some kids.
