After hearing about how great the Star Trek movie is from both geeks and ‘normies’ alike, I decided to check it out.

My history with Star Trek is quite limited. I have only seen a couple of episodes and one of the previous bad movies. Honestly there was not much that I found appealing about it. So I wasn’t to worked up to see the show. I was more than pleasantly surprised to by the time the opening credits appeared.

The opening scene was perhaps the best scene I have watched in a movie in a LONG time. It had huge explosions, ruthless attacks, emotionally gripping moments, great effects, and selfless acts of heroism. All of this happened before the opening credits.

Now I am a man. I am I manly man who does manly things like lift heavy rocks and does pushups. Even considering how manly I most certainly am, Star Trek made me want to cry. Just in the opening scene it made me gooshy.

The story was put together quite well. I’m sure that this will bring in a new band of followers. Some of them might actually become full blown Trekkies, complete with the funny starfleet uniforms.

Star Trek looked great, that is for sure. However ILM did the effects. George Lucas’s Industrial Light and Magic did a bunch of work on it’s longtime rival franchise’s new hit movie. That’s got to make some nerds mad and have Roddenberry rolling in his grave.

I am amused by Star Wars people making a great Star Trek movie. Especially considering the last three Star Wars movies.

No Klingon? How good could this movie actually be?

This is one you should check out. I really liked this movie. Star Trek exceeded my expectations by FAR!
