Star Trek

I have to admit I was very hesitant about going to see the new Star Trek movie.  I don’t like prequels, which is what this was.  I was encouraged to give it a shot. I watched the trailer and it looked impressive enough that I decided to go see it.  It didn’t hurt that it was getting incredible reviews.  I have to say that I was  impressed with the movie.  I did have a little trouble with young Spock.  I am a fan of the television show Heroes so it was difficult to think of Zachary Quinto as Spock instead of Sylar.  What I liked about this movie is that it wasn’t predictable and it didn’t follow the history of the original series (and movies).  They found a very creative way to change the timeline and it was well done.  In the end I am glad I went to see it and look forward to see where the creators take it from here.

About 95% of critics on RottenTomatoes recommended Star Trek and I would give it a score of 9.
