Star Trek (2009)
Star Trek (2009) 8/10
This was really (and perhaps unexpectedly) good. I liked it more than Watchmen because the film is tight and moves along with quick, snappy pacing whereas Watchmen tended to get bogged down by weak and superfluous scenes. Despite a fairly predictable plot, Star Trek thrives because its characters are compelling, especially the juxtaposition between Spock’s logic and Kirk’s emotions. All in all its great summer entertainment and my #1 fav film of the year so far.
