Star Trek (Review One)

What I knew going in:
Christopher Pine, Leonard Nimoy, Zachary Quinto and Eric bana in a reboot of the classic Franchise. Directed by JJ Abrams of Lost, Fringe, and Cloverfield fame.

Hype:
Jizz in my Pants. When I first heard about it I was telling people it was the worst idea ever. When I saw the first trailer I was telling people it was the best idea ever. I have been looking forward to this for nearly a year.

Opening Thoughts:
Oh. My. God. The Effects are BLISTERING and FAST. Wow. The Dialogue is so crisp. The pacing is breakneck. Not a word wasted or useless music tie-in ... oh wait. There's Sabotage by the Beastie Boys. Still, this is FUN as hell.

Bottom Line:
TREK IS BACK BABY!!!!!! This film is amazing from the word go. Great Plot, Superb writing, Killer Acting, Special Effects to die for, amazing music, edgy, tense, funny, I just can't say enough about it. This is exactly what the franchise needed. I'll write more... but I need to go see it again...
