Star Trek (2009)

J J Abrams must have some serious balls to take on the Gas Giant that is Star Trek, 1o feature films, more than 700 episodes, shit loads of  comics and hundreds of Fans. Some directors every now and then take a leap of faith and sometimes it pays off (Peter Jackson and Lord Of The Rings) and then sometimes it doesn’t, but despite the weight of every one’s expectations Abrams managed to pull it off spectacularly. Star Trek is an excellent blend of character development and action, the visual effects are amazing on big screen and would have been amazing in 3-D. Star Treks visual effects would have definitely won a few awards hadn’t Avatar blown it out of the water.

One thing that could have set back the film could have been the casting, but Kirk and Spock’s shoes were filled well with Zachary Quinto’s Spock being the highlight. Also the appearance of Leonard Nimoy as future Spock was a delight. I think that Abram’s Star Trek did the franchise proud, and I look forward to seeing future sequels.

The verdict:
