The ORB's take: The 1st GREAT Star Trek movie!
Movie Review:
Great cast, great plot, great visual effects, great concept (restarting the franchise from the beginning), great director, makes it a great movie. JJ Abrams, who is best known for his work on "Alias", "Cloverfield", "Lost", and "Fringe" has in my opinion directed the best Star Trek to date. The cast if very entertaining without giving you a made-from-a-tv cheesy feel, this is what makes this movie a success. While watching this film you never get a pre-conceived idea of how the character acts like you did in the previous Star Treks, if that didn't make sense, I am trying to say that this flick didn't seem like a 2 hour television special on the big screen. There was just enough character development that gave you just enough information without getting too boring and taking away from the action. And for a non-Trekkie like myself, there was some get information given about the characters that I never knew about. Great action from start to finish, great plot that keeps you involved throughout the movie. If I had anything wrong to say about the movie it would be the lack of character development on the villain, but with everything else going on in the movie it still worked. If you are a Star Trek purist then you may not like this film, or you might find a lot wrong with it, saying it is a "kid" version of the old Star Treks - but I say it only took 10 tries until someone made an entertaining Star Trek from start to finish, and when you finish the film it makes you ask what year is the sequel coming out? Worth your money, worth your time, and you don't need to be Star Trek fan or have seen any of the previous movies to enjoy this entertaining film.
What to Watch For: Action, and great cast - Watch the 1st of many great films in this newly revived franchise.

Well put orb. This movie was entertaining which is exactly what it needed to be. For a re-introduction back into the series, this movie went perfectly. I wouldn't change a single thing about it.
