My Review for Star Trek (with some slight spoilers behind the cut)

Gut review, I loved it. This is the first movie I want to see again in the theater this year and, come to think of it, most of last year as well. It is action in overdrive (or hyperdrive) with some great acting and not a bad script.

The casting works all the way across the boarding. But special kudos to Karl Urban who channeled DeForest Kelly and Simon Pegg who did such a bang up job of as Scotty. It was also nice to see Zoe Saldana having more to do than she did in Pirates and, if there is a sequel, she won't disappear between films. John Cho and Anton Yelchin were fine as Sulu and Chekov. The leads, Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto, channeled their inner Kirk and Spock.

It looks great too. The effects are top notch. And the costumes and props look more like the original TV series than I thought they would do. You see hints of it all over the place. Then there are the throw away visuals to the original series. They are there if you look for them including a pesky furry oblong object.

It does need to be seen in a theater and I have heard that the IMAX is indescribable.

I am grateful that the movie was as good as it was.
