Star Trek Review

Thanks for checking out my long-awaited review of Star Trek.

The Good: I've never seen any of the Star Trek tv shows, movies, etc, but this movie has an excellent story that starts at the beginning to help me understand it. So, there's a great story, and there is...

The Action: Surprisingly, I liked the action scenes better than the hand-to-hand fight scenes. The action scenes in space are great and spectacular. The hand-to-hand combat is actually pretty shaky, but still good. Oh, and there's tons and tons of action in this. Even more than X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Bravo!

The Characters: These characters are brilliant and memorable. Spock (Zachary Quinto) is my favorite, because he has a heart, is brilliant in hand-to-hand combat, and just is a fantastic character.

The Special Effects: Besides the characters, the special effects in this are the best part in this movie. They are amazingly realistic, and just brilliant.

The Bad: The bad guy in this (Eric Bana) didn't really have a motivation. He was evil, but didn't have anything to drive him. This bugged me quite a bit.

There are some pointless action sequences in this. One, in the beginning, there's James T. Kirk as a kid riding in a car in top speed. That had nothing to do with anything, although it was good. Another is when Spock fights Kirk for 1 and a half minutes, which was pointless and strange, because they develop a friendship later on.

Overall: A fantastic sci-fi action movie, with awesome action sequences, superb acting and characters, and brilliant special effects. Bad guy has no motivation, and some pointless action scenes, but I love this movie and a great way to start the summer. 9/10.
