We just saw this movie today. In all honestly I have to say it was "OK"
I paid $8.50 and felt I got my money's worth but I have no desire to watch it again.
I am a big fan of the original Star Trek as well as the Blish books. I was, frankly, expecting more from this movie.
It had great glitzy special effects, but it takes more than CGI to make a great movie. The music was also very nice.
The plot was a bit hokey though.
I felt the person who played Spock stole the movie. What a great selection of actor and excellent acting.
The actor who played Kirk was a little too much "matt damon" for my liking.
I wished the writers had read some of the Blish books as they went in to the "history" of the characters.
By no means whatsoever am I saying this was a bad movie. Not at all. It was good entertainment, but, in my opinion, not all that great.
The Frau loved it but she admits that she is a huge CGI fan.
