Star Trek Review

Okay, I've so far been unable to find my digital camera, so here's a text review of the new Star Trek movie.

I'll just say right off the bat, this movie is awesome. If you aren't a Trekkie, odds are you'll still love it. If you are a Trekkie, well, you probably don't even have to read this review. Go watch the **** movie. That is, unless you're one of those Trekkies that always criticizes inaccuracies and commonly says stuff like "Spock wouldn't say that", in which case, seriously, grow up. No one likes a selfish loser who nitpicks at every minor detail.
Moving on to the actual movie, I just have to say the casting was great. The chemistry between main characters was spot on, and Scotty was cast brilliantly. Hats off to J.J. Abrams for this one (I never thought I'd say that after Cloverfield, but that's just my opinion)!
This movie focuses more on action and less on science than the original Star Trek shows/movies. You get to see more epic battle scenes, more running and jumping, more shooting, and even Sulu fighting somebody with a katana. Yeah, I know. It's awesome.
As I said, they did tone down the science a little, but the movie is still a little confusing. One of the main components of the plot involves time travel, and the complicated laws surrounding that can be a little hard to follow (I think there may even be a paradox or two). The best approach is to not try and figure out how the stuff happened, just be happy that it did.
That being said, I'm a little disappointed in the plot. Don't get me wrong, it was fantastic, but it seemed a little more straightforward then I had hoped.

Overall, I thought it was an awesome movie, and would gladly go see it again. If you've got a couple extra hours and some money to spend, go check it out; you won't be disappointed.
