Has anyone been to see the new Star Trek film?
I went to see it yesterday and was very impressed and really enjoyed it.
For a change all of the actors picked for this work well and were the right choices for each character. Normally the choices they make in such evolutions and reworking of a well know franchise don't completely work, but they all do here.
The whole film is pretty action packed and contains a lot of special effects. From the in ship control systems of the star ships and shuttles, to seeing the inner workings of things like engineering or the shuttle bay. It is a huge leap forward in visual effects and the sense of realism compared to previous Trek series and films.
I especially enjoyed the way they introduced each character and wove their stories into each other. They could have so easily created a film about them all joining the academy and their time there training to become the Enterprise crew. Instead they skipped the whole of that period of time and went strait from joining up, to graduating and getting their first chance to go into space.
And the actors much have studies the original actors characters for some time because the mannerisms and behaviour of them all was great.
If are a fan of Star Trek then you will probably already have seen it, or be planning to go very soon. And if you were a fan of the original 60's Kirk series and films then I can guarantee you will enjoy this too.
