Star Trek Review

Star Trek (2009) Remake or reinvention... Most people think when you go back to write something as a prequel or so it will be a flop or worse than the original. Star Trek was just the opposite. It open doors to new fans and re-energized it so to say. With the all new cast (aside from Nimoy) created something "sexy" in a sense about Star Trek. The only flaw in the cast I suppose that anyone could have argued with was the selection of Simon Pegg (Shawn of the Dead, Hot Fuzz). I think anyone who heard that who loves Star Trek was sure that was a flopped selection... but soon proven wrong by his performance. The story was well written, usually when you have anything to do with the future and time travel it seems so far out and childishly stupid... this played very well with the theme of the movie staying fast paced, emotional, and full of vegence. I believe that starting out with Captain Chrisopher Pike was a great way of staying true to the begining of Star Trek the Original Series but going with the Romulan Villain Nero really left it open for the to freely maneuver and create the own bit of story. Over all it was an amazing action packed flick for Old Star Trek Fand and creating New.
