Movie Review 6 : Star Trek (2009)

I'm so gleaming with excitement now that I don't really know how to start but I'll do my best...

/wahaha

So let's get on board to the review of one of the best movie of 2009 to date...

Here we go

I'm not a huge fan of sci fi but I don't deny that there are several sci fi movies in the past that managed to capture my attention. The first one being Star Wars, then Stargate, next was Battlestar Gallactica and now I am officially a Star Trek fan!

I've gotta say that I might have not watch this movie if it wasn't for the ratings. This is because I could remember making fun of Star Trek as a child and mainly because I'm a Star Wars fan (please take not that I'm still a fan... hence the usage of "am") . But when the film was released about a month ago and the critics went crazy over it, I suddenly found myself eagerly waiting for its release in Indonesia...

And after a long wait... I finally found myself watching the movie and my my... what a treat is has become after a long week of exams for me...

I guess I could sum the whole experience up with 2 words

WORTH IT

It's worth the over two hours I spent watching it, it's worth every Rupiahs I spent on it, and totally worth every bit of my energy considering that I have a flu right now...

The plot is just spectacular (I've never used this word to describe anything before)

The way the story develops just left me craving for more... The thrill, suspense, excitement and drama blend in perfectly together to create a mixture of sheer pleasure... The suspense just left me breathless, the dramas left me with emotions that I can't explain and the whole thing just left me in awe... And the best part of all is the fact that this movie has no anti climax that can make you drift away for a while... it will glue you to your seats from the beginning to end!

The scripts are also amazing...

The correct mixture of sarcasm, humor, advices and arrogance within the moments of turbulence is a sign of total genius...

What's better is the fact that the script writers didn't crammed to much sci fi info into the movie which makes it suitable for those who doesn't even know what Star Trek is... the non sci fi fans can totally enjoy this movie without confusing themselves with facts that fans know... this is definitely what keeps this movie apart from Star Wars which requires a certain knowledge for its viewers to enjoy...

The casts are perfect too...

Chris Pine is definitely a treat for my eyes. He played his part as Jim Kirk with just the right dosage of stubbornness, annoyance, sarcasm and arrogance that will leave viewers falling head over heel for him (at least I did /blush)...

Zachary Quinto is totally amazing as Spock (how he managed to act as someone who only looked emotionless just to surpressed what he truly feels) and he looked exactly like Leonard Nimoy which will satisfy any original Star Trek fan.

And gosh I'm so in love with Anton Yelchin! His portrayal as Chekov is simply adorable and memorable... His Russian accent and teen excitement definitely contributed to the funny parts of this movie...

Effects and soundtracks complete this list of awesomeness

The graphics of this movie will not dissapoint you and how I wish I could watch this in 3-D. The effects are just amazing and the soundtracks totally blew me off my seat! They are just perfect for a thrill ride...

In conclusion...

I would give this movie the great 9.9/10 (I wanted to give full marks but I guess there's gotta be some flaws that I didn't notice) and for those of you who don't think that this movie is worth watching... think again... and I dare you to prove me wrong...

For now...

Live Long and Prosper

The Latest Concept~

Just recently my family found out about me having a blog and despite my protest, they decided to read it. My mum was really impressed with my post regarding her birthday - mainly because she was touched and of course excited with the idea of her picture and stories published throughout the web. And she encourages me to write more.

But then I started reviewing and being someone who doesn't watch the same shows as I did, my mum's enthusiasm slowly grows south. So now I've decided to change the concept of my blog. I'll still do the reviewing of videos, movies and series but about twice a week I'll post stories about my life here. Not in the diary kind of way but rather as updates for my family.

These new "updates" will of course involve my ramblings about things that you might not want to know... So, you don't have to read them if you don't want to... /nobigdeal

But my review business will still go on as usual and I hope you'll keep reading my blog for these... /please

P.S. I'm supposed to write a review today but unfortunately I still have two exams on Monday... So I guess my break is going to be longer than expected... sorry for that...
