STAR TREK
As most Star Trek fans, I was somewhat worried. New people
playing classic favorites. At the same time, being a JJ Abrahms fan, I
figured he was the best person to do it.
Many "purists" are upset with changes that were made and even
Abrahms was quoted as saying that purists should not even bother. I as a
person who used to be a trekkie ( and yes, I use the term trekkIE )
disagree! I was very happy with it. Even my "nitpick bone" was satisfied
with the choices he made right from the start to justify any changes he
decided to make.
Casting could not have been more perfect, they reflect the
spirit of the original characters so well and using many relative
unknowns meant bringing pure casting to the table ( not a lot of "star
power" other than Leonard Nimoy himself ). Keep an eye out for Simon
Pegg as Scotty, genius!
Add to that the fact that the action never stops. At no point
did I feel myself hoping for the end of the movie. I could have watched
that all day and the USS Enterprise has never looked better.
