⇒ star trek (2009)

My friend got me into a 'mystery screening' last night--I'm shocked at how good it is. Tight storyline and amazing visuals. I'm not a big Star Trek fan, rather I'm a sci-fi fan and will see almost anything sci-fi, but this is a strong movie! More accessible than any of the previous movies, better pacing, far more epic and interesting too.

Not perfect, some things felt too little or too much (more hand to hand combat than all ten previous movies combined?), and some characterizations didn't work for me. On the plus, Spock, Uhura, Bones, Checkov and Scotty were very good (Checkov and Scotty's accents and delivery were tight).

Go see it, it's really good!
