Don't let the name "Star Trek" keep you away!

Forget everything you know about "Star Trek," just for a second. Forget about rabid fans in Borg costumes or speaking Klingon. Instead, think of what a good summer movie should be: fun, action-packed, great to look at. Throw in some Sci-Fi and a handful of characters you know, and you've got "Star Trek."
The performances all around were terrific, especially Karl Urban as the ornery Leonard "Bones" McCoy and Chris Pine as the iconic James T. Kirk. The latter has got Shatner's number.
The story is well-paced and the script is actually funny--intentionally. Even if you don't consider yourself a trekkie (or trekker), you'd be doing yourself a disservice by missing this movie. Live long and prosper.

Yes, I recommend this movie.

Go for the X-Men Name - Stay for Hugh

X-Men Origins: Wolverine attempted to do what few movies can: justify the reason the hero behaves the way he does. In this case, they're actually trying to justify the actions of two iconic Marvel characters: Wolverine and Sabretooth. I'm not sure they fully succeeded, but it was awfully fun to watch them try.
The acting was great all around, including Hugh Jackman as Wolverine who’s got the furrowed brow down to a science. The movie delivered some action, although one sequence suffered from shoddy CGI work, which is surprising. Movies like this rely on CGI to fill in the gaps.
Overall, the movie is strong and a welcome addition to the X-Men canon. It's worth seeing if only to know why Wolverine wears that ugly motorcycle jacket.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
