Star Trek : The Future Begins

Caught the new Star Trek movie over the weekend. I must say that I was totally caught offguard by how good it turned out.
The movie started right off in the thick of the action(as with all movies these days). The awesome Romulan battle cruiser was fantastic looking. It was menacing and the size was just absolutely ridiculous.

The pace of the show was good and had character developement. The action was thick and the cinematography was absolutely on the money. This movie to me signifies the coming of age for Director J.J. Abrams. I have been telling people that he is the new Spielberg and this movie has his spirit all over it. In Fact, I think Abrams will be better than Spielberg in time to come.

It seems that they have selected the right group of actors for the roles and the design of the costumes were spot on. You can see the homage paid to the original designs, even the angle and composition of the scenes were of a bygone era in space movies. And that retro beeping sound that comes up every now and then, man, Abram your the MAN!!!!!

Definitely going to watch it a second time, Yes its that good!!!!
"Live long and prosper!!"
