the
review - Star Trek 09 - submitted
by Nicki Powell
Not being a ‘Trekky’
or particularly keen on Star Trek at all, I initially was not
keen on seeing this film but boy am I glad I did!
It
starts the story for Captain James T Kirk and the crew of
the Starship Enterprise. It keeps in some of the classic lines
from Star Trek that everyone would know, whether a ‘Trekky’
or not. Spocks ‘Illogical’ and Scotty’s
‘I’m doing the best I can Captain’. Zachary
Quinto (Heroes) plays Spock and not only does he portray him
excellently he also uncannily looks like him.
Chris Pine plays an exceptional Kirk with a bit of a bad boy
attitude which always goes down well with the ladies. There
is also a superb rapport between him and ‘Doctor Leonard
‘Bones’ McCoy played by Karl Urban (Lord of the
Rings) and I cannot forget to mention Britains’ very
own Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead) who’s adaptation
of Scotty is just brilliant.
This film had me gripped in the first 5 minutes and any female
or indeed male with any kind of emotion would quite easily
shed a tear at the start, as I did. There were obviously Star
Trek fans in the auditorium and everyone seemed to enjoy it
so whether a fan or not it hits all the right buttons.
It is funny and exciting and with a great story line, fantastic
special effects and an undeniably excellent cast this is definitely
one to see at the cinema.
