MY REVIEW
Oh, J. J. Abrams! You do know how to make a pretty god-damned spectacular movie.
I'm not a Trekkie, anyone who knows me, knows that I am a loyal Star Wars fan, so for me to say that I absolutely loved this movie is enough.
J.J. Abrams was able to create an world that was very easy to lose yourself within. I appreciated that there are plenty of references to the original series to keep the fans happy and enough new to lure me into the movie.

What I DID LIKE about this movie:
- References to the original series.
- Casting!! The cast really seemed to be perfect. They did an amazing job BEING the people in the original shows, but giving them their own sense of originality.
- Chris Pine WAS James T. Kirk.
- Karl Urban as Dr. "Bones" McCoy was perfection! Big huge hearts!
What I DID NOT LIKE about this movie:
- I think the story was good, but there was sometime that stuck with me. Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek franchise was about diplomacy and peace with little bits of diplomacy and ethical dilemmas to make you think. This was missing in this movie for me.
On a more personal note.....
Another filter. Another set of red lips. I do enjoy selfies!
