Adventures like this don’t come around very often.
But when they do you recognize them in a flash.
That goes double if you happen to see it in an IMAX theater.
But wherever you see it, just see it. The director, J.J. Abrams, delivers a gem of such epic fluidity, action, story, filled with rich, full characters, the adventure couldn’t possibly be better. Yes, science fiction features can be great films.
Just don’t miss the beginning.
The new “Star Trek” movie is off the charts fantastic from start to finish. The pacing is electric. The plot flawlessly woven, with time for each character introduction to be savored, as the storyline careens as quickly as the masterful special effects do across the screen.
The actors, many new to the eye, work and move together with ease, always keeping faith with what’s come before. With a couple of familiar faces completely camouflaged behind their character’s construction. So if you’re a fan of the humor, the nuances of the relationships, all woven into the conflicts, you won’t be disappointed. And thank goodness “Bones” is back and he delivers the droll. But they all deliver differently on the well known roles so many of us came to enjoy.
Love of great movies runs deep in America.
We’re always waiting for the next great film. Movie lovers always going to the cinema hoping that this one will be it. We sometimes make excuses for favorites that fall short of the mark, while attributing greatness to those because we’re hungry for the mastery. That moment when the screen delivers to us a film of rarity that catapults us into a new dimension of escape, somewhere beyond our dreams and hopes of fantasy and visual marvel, as well as through the actors’ craft, to a place that makes the experience so jubilant that you can’t wait to see it again.
The new “Star Trek” movie does all that and more. It’s raucous fun and unendingly exciting. It is also a truly great film. A review no die hard movie lover ever renders lightly.
