Movie Review: Star Trek

Another old franchise successfully revived. Good job JJ Abrams and Paramount.

I was never a huge Star Trek fan, I never got into the old stuff, but this film I truly enjoyed. Great casting, fun, mind bending effects, good story… it had all I could really ask for in blockbuster Hollywood film.

I thought it was very clever how they get out of the old franchise parameters by using a change in the “space-time-continuum” to change the whole future of the people so the shows and movies you saw before… they are now a parallel world that technically will never happen. This is perfect so the writers of the future films have total creative freedom. I can just see the pitch to the studio executives; it’s a win-win!

I love these type of films, fast, technical, set in the future… so much fun. They bring out the nerd in me.
