Ok, maybe it was the hype. Maybe it was the nostalgia. But the great expectations that heralded 'Star Trek' may have raised the bar too high for any movie, even one made by 'Lost' creators J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof. First off, let me hold off anyone put off by my initial comments... Don't get me wrong, it was an entertaining movie. It had lots of fun, flashy effects. The space wars scenes were admirably realistic. I mean, for a movie that takes place in the future.... and in space.
The storyline was decent and complex, but not confusing. Perfect for the PG-13 audience. And if you classic Trekkers haven't heard yet....SPOILER ALERT..... Leonard Nimoy is back thanks to a shift in the time, space continuum. Speaking of which, young Spock and young Captain Kirk send out the right amount of arrogant youth and full blown machismo to fight the bad guys and each other.
And, if you know anything about what's happening in 'Lost' now, a similar time shifting theme
pays homage to the movie's tv series predecessor... along with these classic one liners:
- "Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a... (fill in the blank)"
- "I've giv'n her all she's got captain"
- "May the force be with you"... oops, I meant, "Live long and prosper."
