You know how sometimes you leave a theater thinking that the film you watched was pretty good but _____ was lame, whether it be the plot, acting, writing, pacing. I left Star Trek completely satisfied. I could find no fault with the film. For a 2+ hour moving, it never felt long. The pacing was perfect. The writing was smart and the characters well developed. The actors did a tremendous job of being true to the characters without slavishly aping the mannerisms of the original actors. The action sequences were exhilarating, and the digital effects breathtaking.
This is easily the best Star Trek movie ever, and the best movie in general that I've seen in a long time.
