Star Trek

Sunday, 10 May 2009

I went to see Star Trek yesterday and it really is a good film. The announcement that time travel would be involved, something that led to some rather painful episodes of the ill-fated Enterprise series, didn’t inspire confidence but in fact it all works very well. The storyline is decent, the actors are generally excellent and it’s well put together. There’s a good balance of humour, suspense and action throughout and even my generally sci-fi averse wife enjoyed herself!

Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto in particular are great as Kirk and Spock respectively and the effects were all pretty much spot-on. The film in essence hits the big “reset” button on Star Trek canon and if they do plan on more films they’ve certainly got a cast together who are capable of pulling them off.
