Review:
Summer officially hits warp speed with Star Trek, a
burst of pure filmmaking exhilaration that manages to pay homage to
the classic 1960s TV series and still boldly go where no man,
William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy included, has gone before. I
couldn’t be more surprised. After six TV series and 10 movies
(1982′s The Wrath of Khan being the only standout), the
franchise has been milked so hard, it’s a wonder the udders haven’t
dried up and disintegrated. So how does this newbie break the jinx?
By plugging in livewire J.J. Abrams, a director of style and
substance (M:i:III, Lost), who fuels this origin
story with killer action, bracing wit and a sense of true
discovery.
