Star Trek 4/5

Emotional moments that make it great for a date and lots of skillfully wrought action will make Star Trek a hit for almost anyone.

If you think about it the story hangs together well. A lot of the Star Trek Universe has changed though, from the alien-looking alien crew mixed in everywhere to a different world view on the part of the writers. This movie is clearly intended to appeal to a broad, modern audience.

A few changes to the main characters may bother fans, like Spoiler: Bones being fairly unemotional, Spock not having much scientific curiosity or Kirk fighting poorly. Bones is a solid likeable doctor character in the movie though. This may actually be my favorite version of Spock because he was more complex and realistic. Kirk annoyed me a bit; he is still brave and thinks on his feet but he gets his ass kicked a LOT. In spite of this it should be very enjoyable for fans; you will look forward to seeing where they take this story. Plus there are a million fun quotes and visual references that only fans will catch.

Overall, I recommend this movie to anyone looking for a well executed, light movie. In addition it will be an odd but enjoyable treat for fans.
