Comments on: Star Trek http://www.flicksandfood.com/2009/05/star-trek/ A San Antonio Restaurant and Movie Review site Fri, 06 Jan 2012 17:02:39 -0600 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: sean farrell http://www.flicksandfood.com/2009/05/star-trek/comment-page-1/#comment-415 sean farrell Tue, 12 May 2009 20:37:20 +0000 http://www.flicksandfood.com/?p=2407#comment-415 This was by far one of the best movies in the past few years.. ranks right up there with Iron Man and Dark Knight. The main reason it was so impressive is that it appealed to both sides of the fan base.. the hardcore trek followers and the ones who think William Shatner is famous because of priceline. I was also impressed at the lineup of actors/actresses. It was interesting to not see the one or two actors that seem to be in every movie. Especially impressed with Zachary Quinto's spock performance. Like most of the reviews you've read, it talks about Kirks loose cannon and Spocks inability to control his emotion. I was so happy they did this because it was different than what everyone was use to seeing in the final years of star trek. It will allow them to grow into the characters we learned to love over the next few star trek movies. Either way, I could go on and on... awesome job Abrams, looking forward to the many movies to come.

I would really like to see this film and be shocked and awed by the action scenes, for instance, so I can later appreciate the special effects and fabulous stuntwork involved. Instead, I've seen a great deal of what to expect in the trailer, which ruins the surprise for me. Honestly, I've avoided more movies by being turned off by the trailer lately than I've seen. Why bother to see the movie after I've seen the trailer? Am I the only one who is seriously tired of seeing all the highlights of a movie in the TRAILER, for Heaven’s sake?!
