In the past there have been many Star Trek films. Some of them not so good, full of cheesy lines, weak stories. For the new Star Trek this is not the case! This movie was fantastic. The best movie I have seen this year by far.
First the cast. Oh my heavens. The guy who plays Bones is perfect in every way. He talks the same moves the same and sounds the same. When he came on the screen and talked for 12 seconds I was smiling because he was so good. And that is how the whole cast worked out
Spock was to the T amazing. He for the most part looked just like Lenard Nemoy.
I was confused as to what the story of this movie would be like because it never explained more then Kirk going to the academy. No the story was dynamic it was funny it was exciting and intense. Full of twists and turns. Wonderful
Kirk is this cocky kid who thinks he is amazing...fact of the matter is he is amazing and he proves it very quickly in the movie.
The only problem I had with the movie was it was done by the guy who did Cloverfield, so some parts were very shaky and hard to follow what was happening but it got much better as the movie went on.
I will probably be seeing this movie countless times while it is in theaters. Fantastic!

X-Men Origins-Wolverine
I went to this midnight showing Thursday night to Friday morning. I was not sure really what to expect not being a huge X-Men freak but just a fan of the movies. I knew the basic story of Wolverine but wanted to know the whole story as I'm sure was the case with most who went to the movie.
I never understood in the first X-Men how Wolverine's powers worked. I knew he had the metal placed over his skeleton making him indestructible but I never understood how that made him heal himself as well. This movie shows that when he was a kid in 1845 his powers develop and his claws were actually bone at first. I did not know this.
The first ten min of the movie show how he and his brother (whose fingernails grow out to be claws) fight through various wars in for the United States and how they are never killed.
The next part of the movie is about how his brother and him join a special team of other mutants and they go in search of meteor rock all over the world (which turns out to be the stuff later Logan puts on his skeleton) and how they other members of the team are ruthless and kill everyone. Wolverines brother is in the lead with the killing so Wolverine leaves that team because he does not understand why everyone they meet needs to be killed, including large villages and tries to start a new life.
Then the movie really starts, with intense scenes as Sabortooth (wolverines brother) picks off one by one the other members of the team. And how Wolverine can beat his own brother even though he is evil and will kill him without a second thought.
The only problem I had with this movie were the few scenes where the visual effects were terrible. They were terrible because they were not necessary. They were only put into the movie because it was cheaper to computer generate the scenes then film them on location. Kind of lame in that aspect.
The movie also completely sets it up for another Origin movie, and possibly a whole new X-Men.
If you go see the movie be sure to stay until after the credits because that is where the set up takes place.
So I really did enjoy this movie, I think that I liked it better than the third X-Men.
My next post will be next week with Star Trek. I am also going to that midnight showing! I am super excited.
