I've just got back from seeing the new Star trek movie remake and I have to say I thought it was fantastic. To be honest, I wasn't expecting it to be that good as remakes can often fall short. This movie delivered in every way. The story was great and the casting was spot on, even though Simon Pegg looks nothing like James Doohan, the original Scotty.

Heroes star Zachary Quinto plays a great young Spock and looks just like the original Spock, Leonard Nimoy, who is the only original cast member to star in this movie.

Chris Pine is a relatively unknown actor who plays Jim Kirk. He did a great job of that, as all of William Shatners mannerisms were in place with his acting.

Hulk star Eric Bana plays the brilliant villain Nero. I did feel that we could have done with seeing more of this character, as Bana's performance was fantastic.

J.J. Abrams directed, and although I enjoy Lost, I did not find Cloverfield to be a great movie. With that said he is the sort of director that like to take some risks, and with Star Trek it could have gone very wrong, but instead this old franchise has now been fully rebooted, with more sequels on the way I'm sure.
A great film!
