Star Trek

I finally got to see Star Trek. I don’t think I’ve ever even watched a single episode of Star Trek before but I heard the movie was really good and wanted to see it. So Mom and I went tonight.

The nice thing about this movie is that you didn’t need to be familiar with Star Trek at all to understand the movie. Plus, it was directed by J.J. Abrams; I tend to like everything he does ever since Felicity.

I was especially impressed with Zachary Quinto’s performance as Spock. In both this and Heroes he does such a good fully embracing his character’s quirks that make them believable.

I had no idea that Eric Bana was in this movie and didn’t realize it was him until his character had been on screen a few times. . .actually it was when his character finally spoke, the first few times you see him his character does not speak.
It was interesting seeing Wynonna Ryder as an old lady, that was a bit surprising because I didn’t realize she was still a working actress.

All and all even if you aren’t a Star Trek fan I definitely recommend this one. There are a few times when the movie seemed a bit slow but I think that was inevitable because some back ground had to be established.
