I took my wife to see the new Star Trek movie for Mother's Day. We have both grown up watching Star Trek and were excited about the renewal of this series. But could they truly start back from scratch with new characters playing our old favorites? Would they overdo the visual effects just because they could? With so many ways they could ruin Star Trek, I would have to say they didn't. In fact, I would predict we will see more movies from this new crew of the Starship Enterprise. I will not try to giveaway the movie as it is rather complex with time travel, black holes and a new enemy for the crew of the Enterprise.
I will say the action scenes were intense and the plot kept the audience glued to the big screen for almost 2 hours. There was some language that would make me 2nd guess taking kids to see this movie along with some intense battle scenes. Plus there is one scene that involves underwear clad cadets that could have been left out of the movie. Otherwise it is another exciting adventure that will keep Star Trek fans on the edge of their seats. I guess I must be a closet Trekkie because, for the most part, I enjoyed this new installment of the long time Sci-fi classic. And with more than $72 million in ticket sales this last weekend, we are almost guaranteed to see more Star Trek movies well into the 21st century.
