Star Trek

Star Trek is possibly the best movie ever made. It was so incredible. There are so many 'easter eggs' for trekkies (from Captain Pike to the Kobayashi Maru to Captain Archer's Beagle) but if you've never seen a Star Trek movie or tv show you could enjoy the movie just as much. It's a 'prequel' to the entire series focusing on a young Kirk, Spock and the gang and how they came together.

Hats off to JJ Abrahm's and his crew for putting a lot of thought into the actual script and effort into making a great movie. I think my favorite character (aside from Spock, of course, who is and will always be everyone's favorite character) was Bones played masterfully by Karl Urban. He got the exact attitude and timing down for Dr. McCoy's lines. But the whole cast was fabulous, especially our Romulan villain played by Eric Bana.

If there's any downside at all to this movie it's bad science. I won't even tell you about it because if you don't know about it (or don't really care, like me) you can just go with the flow of the the story and enjoy a marvelous movie.

I can't say enough great things about it. I can't wait to see it again. This is a must see.
