Star Trek is one of the finest movies ever made and def the best film of the year...

Saw this last night.

Before I say anything else, I will give the final verdict: This movie is breath-takingly magnificent. Absolutely spectacular.

Very often when I leave a movie theater, I ask myself: 'Was my nine bucks well-spent?' Sometimes yes, sometimes no, probably most often the answer is 'Meh.'

I wasnt ever a "Trekkie" or anything, but I enjoyed the Original Series as a kid and loved the movies. So it probably isnt a huge shock that I enjoyed the movie. But the fact that there were so many people there that said they didnt even like Sci-Fi and they really enjoyed the movie was impressive.

I am perfectly satisfied with the entire cast. Wasnt too nuts about Chekov at first in appearance, but he did the voice perfectly. Scotty was a hoot, too.

I wont get into spoilers, but there are plenty of things that pay homage to the original Trek.

Best movie of the year so far, in my opinion. Worth your time and money.

Agree with Arsh-bhai. I thought Wolverine was horrible. Seemed like a mish-mash of all superhero movie cliches. Quite a bore compared to all 3 of the previous X-Men movies.

Star Trek rocked though, and this from someone who hated the old TV series. Sure, there are tons of references to the past, but it's all tongue-in-cheek, an Enterprise of fun, and the movie doesn't take itself too seriously.

so far all good vibes for STAR TREK! :D NEGATIVE for WOLVERINE! only previous XMEN film that made sense to me was the last one! and that helped me to put some sense to my previously viewed one that never made any sense to me in the first place :lol: Magneto was good!

I've never followed any of the series, these Mutant films bore me! This one I saw because I thought it was a solo Hugh Jackman film as the rest are multi-starrers. I liked it and the reviews seem to be in favour of it too but Star Trek, same again, not really into the series but liked that more.

I've seen all (apart from Coraline and Up), so I'll say...

X-Men Origins Wolverine - a little disappointing, though I wasn't expecting much anyway. It has nothing on the X-Men films. 6/10
Star Trek - A very good reboot and very enjoyable for a non-ST fan. Best summer blockbuster of the year so far. 10/10
Angels & Demons - A Disappointment. 6/10
Night At The Museum 2 - Quite enjoyable in parts, though more for kids. 6/10
Terminator: Salvation - Much better than T3 and an interesting reboot. 7.5/10
12 Rounds - A weak Die Hard/Speed-inspired action film, starring a wrestler I know nothing about and made by the WWE. One to miss. 5/10
Drag Me To Hell - A very enjoyable horror-comedy. 8/10

I saw The Hangover last night and I thought it was pretty funny, loses a little steam toward the end but still pretty funny but not great.

Maybe they showed too much in the awesome trailer...went in with overhyped expectations!!

Either way, it's definitely funny as hell in parts...just not quite as good as I had hoped for.

Zach Galifianakis stole the show.

STAR TREK I've never been a fan of the series, but this movie was really good and lots of fun. Maybe a little too many lens flares.

TERMINATOR I didn't like Salvation very much. This one was missing the rawness of the previous Terminator movies. I thought Bale was pretty much sidelined.


Taking of Pelham 1..2..3 Thought it was average. Denzel didn't really had a chance to perform. Travolta was good. Shot in typical Tony Scott style.

Pixar's UP 3-D A really excellent film from Pixar. It was very touching and deals with more real human relationships than any other Pixar films. Definantley the best film I saw so far this summer. Worth watching it in ReaLD 3-D.
