[QUOTE="Firebeetle, post: 4783308, member: 34506"] Star Trek finally gets it right. In a movie that manages to surpass Wrath of Kahn, Star Trek reinvents itself for a new millennium. Everything is done perfectly, nothing is overdone. This movie does not pander to fans, yet does nothing to alienate them. It takes the strength of the long Trek history and uses that to provide a power to storytelling that is not possible otherwise. For the long term fan and for the complete Trek neophyte this is an enjoyable film. A.) Characters are nailed first time. Performances are perfect and the characters are emotional, especially Spock as it turns out (which is somehow more in character than ever, you'll have to see it.)Uhura seems like a person for the first time. B.) Everything makes perfect sense. Nothing is too elaborate, abstract, or unbelievable. No confusing, expository monologues to explain little plot miracles. Everything has perfect continuity within the movie. C.) Complete surprises. Just when you think you know how it's going to go down, you don't. The movie completely pulled the rug out from under me. Failure is possible in this Star Trek, and the consequences are grievous. D.) Bad ass. Kirk shows damage from numerous fisticuffs throughout the movie. Spock dishes a serious ass kicking, and phasers are definitely set on kill (whoa!) E.) Incredible visuals. This movie does not try to look like a TV show. Lots of handheld shots, and you never see the bridge in a way that makes you think "soundstage". Special effects are perfect, my supersensitive CG alarm only went off once. A must see movie. Don't wait, go now For those griping that you don't get to see another increasingl crappy TNG movie, shovel it already you ingrates. We've just been handed back our favorite show, smack dab in our laps, and you have the singular audacity to complain. You'll have to endure new fans of all ages. Try not to be snotty or condescending to them, OK? For non-complainers, Trek is back and ready for more. This movie rocks the house and I'm sure we can expect more. The big question for me was "What's next?" [/QUOTE]
