True to spirit of original series . . .

Though Star Trek is far from the best sci-fi flick in recent years, it was an easy-to-watch and entertaining movie. Though my wife and daughters generally hate all sci-fi movies, the early positive reviews somehow made them think this movie was worth the cost of admission. So, on Mother's Day, and at my my wife's request, we went as a family to Star Trek - which is the kind of movie I am used to watching alone. The bottom line is that it's a fun movie, nothing too serious, with a convoluted story line that requires one to suspend all logic and reason. Fun PG13 entertainment.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Worth the Cost of a Ticket

Great special effects. Some compelling characters. Decent story line. My biggest problem with the entire movie was the portrayed unrealistic response to alien presence by the US government and military. I seriously doubt that our first response would be to attack, and I also doubt that our president would go into hiding and that we'd approach the problem unilaterally. But - good story line in any case. Good SciFi, some really great special effects, and an especially memorable performance by Jennifer Connelly.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I first saw Forgetting with my (adult) son, and then again with my wife. I enjoyed it both times, and it is extremely rare for me to see any movie more than once.
I thought the character portrayals were on-the-mark as well as funny and engaging. As a heterosexual male I especially appreciated that Forgetting portrays men as something other than single-minded macho imbeciles. The key male character in this movie is sensitive and conflicted - and quirky - just as in real life. Also, though self-absorbed and single-minded, the supporting male role was a rock star who was just so absolutely honest about who he was that you couldn't help but like the guy.
When was the last time you saw a truly creative romantic comedy? This one is fun and entertaining. Guys - your wife (or girlfriend) will love this movie, and I'm willing to bet you'll like it too. Good movie. Worth the price of a ticket.
