One of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Funny, edge of your seat action, great interaction between cast members. Although all of the character portrayals were great, there were a few standouts for me. Zachary Quinto (Sylar on Heroes) stunningly portrayed younger Spock. Chris Pine's Kirk was terrific as well. Simon Pegg was spot-on as Scotty. The storyline was inventive and entirely believable. It was an absolutely fantastic film, and you don't have to be a Trekkie to enjoy it and follow the story.
I wouldn't say it was spectacular by any stretch, but it was a fairly good movie. Michael Douglas was really good in the film, as was Jennifer Garner. I think Matthew McConaughey has had better roles, but he played the character effectively. The interaction between Matthew's character and Jennifer's character is truly funny and sweet. Matthew comes across as a bit of a bumbling oaf, with many incidents in his present life not turning out quite the way he intends. And yet, his character still manages to get laid. The one thing I would say...PLEASE remember this movie has strong adult references. It should be rated higher than PG13. Don't take your kids to see this.
