I remember when I first saw the trailer for this film and how my expectations immediately dropped. Having not seen any of Chris Pine’s (James T. Kirk) work previously I couldn’t help but feel like this guy must have some free time in between Dawson’s Creek seasons. Fortunately the first scene where Pine speaks I instantly changed my mindset. His character is written so well that he actually became my favorite character throughout the film.
As a whole the movie has outstanding establishing shots, special effects, audio work and acting. It’s extremely well paced and has a sufficient story to give the series a fresh start. The one gripe I might throw out there is the movie feels like one big lens flare at times. Besides that, I highly recommend it and it will more then likely be the movie of the summer.
Pies: 9/10

Nope, I’m just hosting through Picasa…you could do the same if that’s what you’re trying to do.

Hahahaha…yes! One Big Lens Flare. I liked the characters and production a lot, but I really had to suspend my disbelief to stay enjoying the movie due to the large plot holes and contrived storyline.
