BrianSez's Review

  1. Quality
  2. Summary
    Really Great 4.5

    Trekkies will find lumps in their throats and goosebumps when watching this film. Not only does it keep apace with today’s action, special effects, and blockbuster presence, but it is a full bore tribute to the Star Treks of days gone by. This movie is great fun and seat gripping action without losing any of its good humor and resorting to ugly violence.

  4. Acting
    Really Great 4.5

    The casting director should get a standing ovation for this film. Seriously, I can’t think of a better fit than the chosen Chris Pine as Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, and my personal favorite of Simon Pegg as Scotty. “Captain — I’m giving it all she’s got!” and Karl Urban is a classic as the neurotic McCoy.

  5. Male Stars Really Great 4.5
  6. Female Stars Really Great 4.5
  7. Female Costars Really Great 4.5
  8. Male Costars Really Great 4.5
  10. Film
    Really Great 4.5

    Brava! Keeping up with today’s blockbuster standards while also paying tribute to a classic is no easy feat. I think this Star Trek easily beats out all the others.

  11. Direction Really Great 4.5
  12. Play Really Great 4.5
  13. Music Really Great 4.5
  14. Visuals Really Great 4.5
  15. Content
  16. Edge
    Risqué 2.0

    Your basic shoot-em-up style violence with only a few overtly sexual situation (c’m on — he James Kirk!) . You can bring your 10+ year olds.

  17. Sex Titillating 2.0
  18. Violence Fierce 2.0
  19. Rudeness Salty 2.0
  21. Reality
    Supernatural 4.0
  22. Circumstantial Supernatural 4.0
  23. Biological Supernatural 4.0
  24. Physical Supernatural 4.0

I’d guess I’d call myself a newbie. I would always say that anti-Star Trek stuff back when I was about 9 or 10, when I didn’t really understand Star Trek. Now that I’ve grown up, I’ve learned an old life lesson: Don’t judge something before you get to know it.

Regarding MetalJunky5000’s Review
Great review MJ. As a Star Trek kid, it’s fun to see an appreciation from a, a, well how would you characterize yourself? Star Trek newbie or former hater? Either way, fresh eyes yield fresh insights.

Regarding Wick’s Review
OK, not my best review, but there was a lot going on.

Anyone disagree that “Terminator Salvation” will be to “Star Trek” this year the way “Dark Knight” was to “Iron Man” last year? Serious to cheeky.
