Star Trek (2009) was one of the most fun movies I’ve seen in a long, long time. The actors were impeccably cast, the dialogue was fantastic and hilarious, the special effects were awesome, and the music just brought the whole package together. It was great seeing Leonard Nimoy reprise his role as “Spock Prime” in this film, but, boy, is he looking old.

As a formerly huge Trekkie from my jr. high/high school years (only the original series though…anything after that I am not interested in), the story and use of the “original” characters made the film for me.

I didn’t realize Winona Ryder was in the film. Look for her…she has an interesting part.

While there were a few anachronisms and incongruities which irritated me a bit (although most of them were rectified at the end except the Romulans still looked too Maori for me, Chekov’s hair was too curly, and I didn’t like the ***SPOILER*** Uhura and Spock “thing”), I still found the film a truly enjoyable experience. Beware, however, it is a bit long (126 mins.) so don’t drink to much while watching it.
