Star Trek Review

If you're like my girlfriend, you've probably grown up watching a few episodes of Next Generation, let alone the original Star Trek series. Surely, the name 'Spock' might've come up in a few conversational references, but it's difficult for one to jump into the Star Trek universe without knowing where to start. This is where JJ Abrams comes in. With a vibrant cast and crew, stunning visuals that are both iconic and breath-taking, and a mind-blowing execution that's so precise, it makes Edward Scissorhands looks like a circus chump. It's a powerful exercise in taking an idea you love to the very next level, and achieving it as a true victory over all odds and skeptism. A must-see no matter who you are. 9.0/10.
