I must admit it was weird watching other actors playing the parts but I also admit they did a great job. This is "Star Trek's" first foray into the big leagues, and it does it well. This is not just a good "Star Trek" film, it's a good film.
There's humour, action and decent performances. It may be seen as slow in parts [i must have blinked - tell me where please?!] but I thought they called it something like er, plotline and character development the last time I checked. That's good to see in "Star Trek" films and character development was something I felt was missing from the TNG features.
The films cinematograpy is seamless and I haven't been in awe of cgi since Terminator 2 or Jurassic Park. The detail is incredible, the musical score.
The great thing about this film is that it is a film that introduces us to "Star Trek." As a veteran fan of Trek I view this film as a welcome addition to the franchise, not a replacement. I mean, we've all got the other series and films to look back on. The only problem I will have with this film is where to place the DVD amongst the others when I get it!
More of this please, and "Star Trek" will indeed "Live Long and Prosper!"
In the not too distant future...by a bookcase near me:
"Now do I put it before TOS or parallel to it...hmmm...."
