Star Trek (Three-Disc +Digital Copy) [Blu-ray] (2009) Reviews
I went into this with an open mind and I was rewarded with one of the most enjoyable movie experiences I’ve ever had. I have loved Star Trek since I was a kid and was more than a little apprehensive about this “reboot,” with different characters and a plot that didn’t exactly fit the canon that has been built on for the last 40 years. I had faith though, because I like Fringe and LOST, and now I know it’s true - everything J.J. Abrams touches turns to gold. The actors and writers did an incredible job of paying homage to the characters that we know and love, and yet the new things we hadn’t seen before were totally believable. Yes, the story went in a new direction - but it built on everything that makes Star Trek enjoyable. The references to other series made me smile - “Admiral” Archer’s dog, for example - these guys definitely did their homework. I was surprised by a few things, but definitely not disappointed. I think Gene and Majel would be impressed, and all of the original actors should feel honored with the respect paid to them. In some cases, the new actors (dare I say it?) played the characters better than we’ve seen before. McCoy was his crusty self, Kirk hit on just about every female but showed the utmost concern for the mission, his crew and his ship, Spock was eminently logical yet conflicted, Scotty was the miracle-worker. Sulu and Uhura were way more interesting than their original counterparts. Yet nothing was overdone…well maybe Chekov’s accent (lol). The action sequences were incredible, the sound was so intense it felt like I was there - and the picture, wow… definitely see this in IMAX. The Enterprise never looked so good, and when all was said and done, I was left with something else that I haven’t felt for a long time, if ever - I am PROUD to be a Star Trek fan. Mad props to everyone who was involved with this film. I was left speechless, and all I can say now is “More!”
This was an absolute great movie! I have never been a trekkie but have enjoyed watching the shows and movies (some of them). I am more of a Star Wars fan and I think it was better then Revenge of the Sith due to better writing and acting. With Star Wars, I grew up with EP 4-6 and those are still my favorites. This Trek movie however has made me a Trekkie geek as well. Great cast, great story (love the whole shake up of the Trek universe), and great special effects. Yeah it is a re-boot of the original series, but it is the begining we never saw and now a whole new universe! Go see and then buy the DVD when it comes out.
Star Trek ventured far beyond the previous 11 movies. Not only did it fill the gaps from the original series, its visual effects are exceptional. The premise is typical Star Trek, that is a bit over the top, but very enjoyable within the framework. Certain questions went unanswered (such as how and who did Kirk live with while he grew up) but several were answered. Overall I liked the movie. It may be the best of all of them with the sole exception of The Voyage Home. And the cast was outstanding, perfect for their roles.
