I wanna board the USS Enterprise!
Basically I go to the theater without any previous knowledge such as user comments, reviews, or trailers simply because they spoil my pleasure and excitement. On the other hand, I refer to some basic information such as ratings, votes, or people in the film in order to judge whether it's a crap or a must-go.
"Star Trek" got 8.4 points out of 10 by 74,479 audiences (June 2009). Demographic breakdown says more than half of viewers rated 9-10, and female viewers, who usually stay away from Sci-fi stuff, rated a bit higher than male counterparts, which could probably mean main character is a pretty boy and there is a romantic subplot.
According to the director's profile, this J.J. Abrams got Emmys, so he had built certain careers on TV dramas. My first impression from his pictures is that he is the son of Henry Kissinger. Jewish? Anyway I've got a hunch that he is a genius nerd type of guy who are crazy about "Star Trek" and good at grabbing the audiences toward the story with thrill and suspense. Anyway it's a must-go.
OK, I watched the Star Trek (2009). Now I skip synopsis or plot as usual; you can get it at IMDb or the official site. I'm gonna touch on my impressions or comments for your reference.
Actually I am not a fervent Trekkiest like Abrams, but I liked it a lot. Main plot is the revenge. The opponents had earthy reasons to attack USS Enterprise and fight against United Federation of Planets. Both main plot and other sub plots made the story involving. This is not a mere good versus evil stuff.
Another thing is that the quality of computer graphics of universe and star ships was superb. Especially when I saw the full-scale USS Enterprise, I found adrenaline rushed through my body. As for people, I found the young Kirk, Spok and other crews as lively and humane as the original ones. I really look forward to watching the sequel and meeting them.
Unless you've got a big TV set at home just like me, I recommend that you go to the theater and enjoy this master piece at a big screen.
