Summer Begins.

I know absolutely nothing about Star Trek. I have never seen an episode at any point during the different series of the show. All I knew were names of characters and that they were in this ship called the Enterprise.

To anybody out there who wants to make a great movie, this is how you do it. To put it as simply as I can, what makes this movie great is the story. The story is simple, how it plays out is not. As I mentioned before, I am not a Star Trek person, however, I am a LOST person. That being said, J.J. Abrams' influence from LOST was very apparent in Star Trek, and it only helped to keep my interest.

Many Sci-Fi films struggle with the necessity of explaining gadgetry and technology that only exists in the universe of the film. Star Trek brilliantly cuts out all the unnecessary technical jargon and is very straight forward. The acting is excellent. Hats off to Mr. Quinto as Spock, he was perfectly cast and plays the role extremely well. Every single character had an arc no matter how great or how small.

This is by far the best film of the year, so far. The graphics and cinematography were unbelievable. This movie pays great homage to the incredible epic that is Star Wars, but does so with grace and brings it's own ingredients to the formula.

I will note that Star Trek's tagline 'The Future Begins' was straight up jacked from Terminator Salvation. The first poster for TS had that as it's tagline which has now since been updated to 'The End Begins.' Anyway Star Trek = Amazing. See it. No matter who you are, this one's for you.
