I am by no means an expert on films or Star Trek. However, I have seen a lot of movies in my life, and I know a good one versus a bad one. This movie is a fun watch from beginning to end. It doesn't require deep thinking, which was perfect, because I was in the mood for something "light." It has a little something for everyone, as it holds elements of drama, comedy, action, and romance. All of the actors did a great job, too. It was a fun movie to watch, and I look forward to any sequels!
