[Movie Review] Star Trek

Star Trek (2009)

"Finally, a very good Star Trek movie, after the awfully bad Star Trek Nemesis" -bezoe

The fate of the galaxy rests in the hands of bitter rivals. One, James Kirk, is a delinquent, thrill-seeking Iowa farm boy. The other, Spock, was raised in a logic-based society that rejects all emotion. As fiery instinct clashes with calm reason, their unlikely but powerful partnership is the only thing capable of leading their crew through unimaginable danger, boldly going where no one has gone before. - yahoo

Right from the start, we already saw what we will expecting to see for the rest of the movie. The background of Kirk, what is Spock looks like when he still a child, and who is Dr.Mcoy.

The way J.J Abrams tells the story really pulled me in to know the back story of each characters. Another good thing is , even though most of my friends who watched the movie with me, didn't even know what is Star Trek, still be able to keep up with the story. So even the story moving on the constant pace, but its not confusing which I like, if not then I probably needs to explain the whole Star Trek to my friends during the movie and get rains of pop corn in my head.

Special Effect and CG will heavily be expected by me when I'm going to watch the movie. And indeed the special effects looks awesomely good (Thanks ILM, I'm pretty sure most of the CG works done by you). From the first battle until the last one (plus the *Spoiler : planet drilling -end spoiler* ) all have an awesome visual graphic, while its not distracting too much for us to still follow the story line without got interference from the CG.

The enemy part is the part that I got confused in the beginning, who and where did he from. Good things everything revealed during the end.

The design of the Enterprise really reflect the the design from the old Star Trek TV series (which is good so we know they don't fool around with the ship). Design for the enemy ship (no I won't say who is the enemy for this review, I don't see the trailer too much cause I dont want to see spoiler, so I don't know if theres a spoiler who is the enemy) is pretty interesting, its weird but it got the menacing feels.

Characters, the young version for Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura and Sulu all are played by talented actors/actresess to the impresive level that I never have a though that they can live up the expectation. The enemy leader played by one of the biggest actor in hollywood so no wonder he can potrayed the character with perfect performance.

Star Trek is the movie that you should not miss it at all. Even though you are not or never watch Star Trek in your whole life, you will not get confused with the story line too much. A little knowledge about Star Trek will enhance the experience of this movie. However, after you watch this movie, you might be interested to watch the tv series played by William Shatner.

Bottom line: The movie that will be memorable for all Star Trek fans, the movie that will be enjoy by all races, the movie that will live long and prosper.
