Star Trek (2009)
Tim (4 stars) - I'm not a Trekkie by any stretch of the imagination but I really liked this "prequel" to the Star Trek series. JJ Abrams has done a really good job of weaving a plausible plot of how this crew came together. Obviously, the special effects are far superior to the original television shows, but they were really cool effects. I wasn't annoyed by other actors filling the classic roles of the people from the original Trek. It was a very enjoyable movie.
Liz (4 stars) I have to say I really enjoyed this movie! I think it was a combination of having watched a lot of Star Trek when I was younger, plus the fact that JJ Abrams directed this version. The action kept you engaged, the character development was good, and it was fun to see the characters as their younger selves. I had really forgotten how much I like Star Trek. I am not a big Star Wars fan and apparently if you like one, you don't like the other was much. (Someone on the dvd extras said this) So maybe that explains it. Anyway, it had a very JJ Abrams feel (ex: a big action scene right in the beginning that end abruptly and then goes into the credits) and I really liked how it felt modern but also had the same feeling of the old Star Trek. I also loved the colorful glares that happened throughout the movie. It was a really interesting idea for the cinematography. Seeing Leonard Nimoy was a treat and it seems like it was set up for a sequel, which I would definitely see. (Or would it be another prequel?)
