| Review : |
I loved this movie. The characters were great, the storyline pretty good and at no point throughout the movie did I go: "the TOS characters never would have done/said that" with the notable exception of Spock shooting Kirk onto Delta Vega. I only had four problems with this movie: 1. The lens flares. This isn't really a Star Trek issue as it is becoming more common with all new movies and TV 2. The Enterprise's f-ugly nacelles. Every other external part of the ship I could have accepted, but those nacelles just seem wrong somehow, they don't quite mesh with the rest of the ship to me 3. The "water treatment plant" engineering. I can understand The Powers That Be wanting a huge complex area to be engineering, in fact that makes complete sense considering the complexity of the ship, but make it a Star Trek huge engineering! With pulsing warp core(s), lots of consoles and blinking lights. The engineering they showed had a concrete floor, steel pipes and hardly a console in sight. 4. I thought Scotty's character was a little too "comic relief". I know he is played by Simon Pegg so it is a little understandable but it went a little too far. Maybe if they got rid of the little alien I wouldn't have minded as much. All in all a great movie, once it comes out on DVD/Blu-Ray I'm going to need a bigger TV. |
