Good reboot to the series 2010-09-02

First,let me say that Leonard Nimoy's Spock has always been my favorite Star Trek character. I was very pleased, in this new version, to see more of Spock's human qualities. Although only half-Vulcan, his demeanor (while I loved it!) was always in full-Vulcan mode. I like the new side to Spock, and I like the romance between Spock and Uhura. Although I originally liked William Shatner's Jim Kirk, over time I began to find the character pompous, arrogant, and full of himself. It's interesting, and very realistic to me, that the young Jim Kirk had those characteristics in abundance! In all, I like the direction that this reboot to the classic series is taking. I enjoyed the movie and look forward to its sequel.

I was never a "trekkie" although I grew up watching the original Star Trek series and enjoyed the first 3 or 4 feature films such as The Wrath of Khan and The Voyage Home. What they lacked in visual effects and technological savvy they more than made up for in story, pitch and character development.

Star Trek 2009 is not a "bad" movie. There is a plot and the movie does involve the genesis of the original characters and how and why they found themselves together aboard the acclaimed USS Enterprise. Unfortunately, the film focuses too little on these events and primarily concerns itself with action scenes and special effects.

Almost from the word GO the movie is about loud and noisy, although visually spectacular, battle scenes combined with exhausting, seemingly never ending brawls between the various characters. In between, the plot is very difficult to follow. There are several flash forwards accompanied by several flashbacks because the plot involves....you guessed it, a black hole involving time travel. I was so busy trying to unravel the plot shifts that it wasn't until well after the movie ended that I came to the conclusion that the storyline was actually pretty clever.

Star Trek 2009 is all about fast, furious and visually entertaining and leaves little to the imagination.

I love were the writer took this movie. It is but it isn't your classic Trek.
