Star Trek

Movie Review

I took Sam, Ammon and Ben to see Star Trek. I was a little anxious about the new crew playing old roles-though I understand that the remaining members of the original cast are aged a bit past playing action roles. I was really worried about Zachary Quinto as Spock, because I don't like him much in "Heroes." He did a good job, though, and I quickly forgot about his other roles. Chris Pine was fine as Kirk, and didn 't chew the scenery nearly as much as William Shatner. Zoe Saldana as Uhura is amazing and lovely and perfect. Leonard Nimoy did fine as the older Spock. The adventure was good and exciting, the special effects were not out of control but supported the plot and action. A very solid movie, 4 stars (of 5) and I recommend seeing it. The theater was full, we had done well to get there a little early.
