Ordinarily I would write an in-depth examination of the political themes in the new Star Trek movie. But this film captures the essence of the series: it’s about what it means to be a human being and that is far more important than any political point that can be made.
However, I will share my one liner regarding the only overt issue brought up in the story:
Notice how it’s the VILLAIN who engages in torture, not the heroes.
There. I said my piece, now let’s get to the review. This is a fucking awesome movie.
I am not a huge fan of the original series. I enjoyed the Next Gen series a good bit and occasionally dabbled in Deep Space Nine, but I am certainly not what you would call a Trekkie. I have never and will never dress up as a Klingon or attempt to learn the language. You will not catch me dead at a Star Trek convention, but I still love this movie.
The action sequences are fast and make it infuriatingly difficult to see what’s going on, but somehow, it works. You feel a sense of overwhelming danger and bewilderment that must be somewhat like the sensation of real combat.
The actors and actresses, especially Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto, all hit a direct bulls-eye.
The director and writers have a seamless script that is never dull for a single second.
Your tastes may differ than mine. You might not like action movies or dog fights in space or snappy dialogue. But if you enjoy solid acting and storytelling, then I guarantee that you’ll dig this movie. Even if you think Captain Kirk would be cool with waterboarding.
