The Summer Blockbusters have started out on the right foot. First X-Men Origins: Wolverine, now the new Star Trek resurrects an old franchise.
At first, I was hesitant to see the movie given the TV series and movies were pretty cheesy. But after hearing some of the early buzz on the movie, I decided that I’d give it a shot. I was nervous as hell, and thought I’d leave the theater needing bifocals and some other nerd-tastic gear, but the trailer looked bad-ass and seemed more action, sexed up, and mainstream than the classical Star Trek franchise.
The Low Down:
Many critics have compared Star Trek to Iron Man. I wouldn’t go that far, but the special effects are absolutely insane. There are some pretty sick battle scenes that keep the action going throughout the movie. I can see where the comparisons to Iron Man are going, they pretty much emphasize how a movie took a genre and instead of following it in a cheesy and old route, they took a darker, more bad-ass approach. Star Trek is no longer for people with bifocals to jack-off too. The movie is loaded with action, pays tribute to the franchise’s history, and even has a sex scene with one hot piece of hey-o (see her below). I’d definitely recommend seeing it. It is not the Dark Knight, it is not Iron Man, but it is worth the $10 bucks (unless you’re like us and just make your girlfriend flash the ticket booth for free tickets…then it’s free).
Must see in the IMAX
