I'm a fan of sci fi, but this movie def dragged on for the first 45 mins...At one point I turned to my bf and said 'I hope this gets better'. I personally wouldn't recommend seeing it, altho I haven't seen Cloverfield, so I can't compare. I'd wait til the dvd comes out.
Pretty awesome movie! Thought it held true to the original characters which made it fun for my dad and i (the trekkies of the family), but my boyfriend found it entertaining as well even tho he's not an avid fan of the series. Thought a cpl of the special effects could of been a little more fine tuned, but other than that would def recommend!
