It seems like May is a good month for Movies, we have Terminator Salvation, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and of course Star Trek. I usually don’t talk about movies here on the blog, but after seeing Star Trek last Friday I definitely wanted to talk about it. I really was never a Star Trek fan growing up, it was all Star Wars for me. Star Trek always seemed old and lame to me when I would see it. I heard about the movie and I wasn’t that excited until I saw the trailer. Wow a retelling of the story, that’s exactly what I needed since I never really knew the real story of Star Trek.

The movie starts out with you getting right into the action, this is probably one of the best starts to a movie that I’ve seen in a while. After about the 15-20 minutes of action you follow the crew members as they make their way through Starfleet Academy and eventually onto the Starship Enterprise. The story was easy to follow and it gave you a better understanding of Star Trek if you were not familiar with the series.

All of the actors and actress’s played their roles really well. I was surprised to see John Cho in this movie, he is “Harold” from the Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle series. He played his character well and did not seem out of place at all. One of the best performances was by Zachary Quinto, who played Spock. Most of you know him from the TV Heroes as Sylar. He pretty much fit the role perfectly.

I’m not going to give out any spoilers or anything like that, but I do encourage you to go check out this movie if you are all into Sci-Fi or action movies, you will not be disappointed!
