March and April were very long months for me. It seemed like there were no decent movies to go and see. At last May arrived and it's time for the "summer blockbusters". Time to turn off the brain and let the movie take you where it will.
"Star Trek" turned out to be one of those movies where you should probably keep your brain turned on. Especially if you struggle with sci-fi movies anyway. This, however, isn't a bad thing. In fact, the new movie was incredibly engaging. It was action packed, fast-paced, exciting, humourous and very enjoyable. I can't see it showing up at the Academy awards, but we weren't expecting that were we? Honestly, I was expecting a decent special effects movie with a tenuous plot and an unlikeable Kirk so I was very pleasantly surprised. An enjoyable movie for Star Trek fans (see if you can count how many of the classic lines are squeezed into the script), sci-fi fans and everyone else.

OK, so I'm not really a Star Trek fan, but my boyfriend is. If he has made me watch one Star Trek trailer, he has made me watch 100. But you know what? I got sucked in, and I've been eager to see it (which we haven't yet). Glad to hear it was worth the wait!
Atty: I have to say I am a fan of Star Trek but I think it has plenty to offer everyone.
I've heard nothing but great reviews on this one, but I have an aversion to theatres. I prefer to wait for the DVD. Guess I'll be waiting a while on this one....
