It is a great movie. Many people that do not understand the story and who is writing it are critical of what the movie is all about. It is certainly great entertainment, but it is also about the Force that moves the Universe and makes everything possible: LOVE. Love for ourselves, for others, for the things that are all around us.
The Special effects were very good. Good acting. In my opinion Captain Kirk as a young punk, it is hard to visualize it. I know he is a troubled person, however, I would have liked the character to demonstrate more positive values. You can be young, restless but be humble and compasionate.This guys are Guardians of the Universe: Knights. No, I am not confused. This values are Universal and transcend time and space. The Captain Kirk I know is different. And what about Spok old and the new Spok together at the end. Old Spok said that he could not be where the new Spok was. It was a good start. Hope that the next two movies are better in developing the characters. May the force be with you.
