Awesome, awesome, awesome

The 3D and CG animation is great. I think the best I've ever seen. The cinematography is ridiculously beautiful. As you're watching it, you know where the $300 million went. Its not only the effects that are great though. The story is emotional (we cried). The only critism I can come up with (for all you critics out there) is that the story isn't new. Some parts are, but the backbone of the story has been done before. Basically, an operative goes in to a different world to learn about it from the natives. He's supposed to gather intelligence that leads to the destruction of the natives. BUT, he meets a native girl and...you can probably guess: he begins to question if he's on the right side! Very good movie. Highly recommend.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Awesom for old and new fans

I've been watching Star Trek since the old re-runs of the 1960's series. I went through most of the other movies, the Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager. This new Star Trek rendition was great because it has enough for the old fans to reminisce, but not too much that the newer audience "won't get it." The actors were great overall and the story was clever in how it weaves into the already existing Star Trek saga. I would have given it 4.5 stars if that rating was available. I can't give it 5 stars because of some oddities which ocurred with Mr. Spok, (the young one). In any case, it is DEFINITELY worth watching on the big screen.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Fun and exciting

If you like the classic archetypal hero's journey, then this movie will at least meet, if not exceed, your expectations. Yes, the story may jump around a little and it may be difficult to understand why everyone in ancient China suddenly speaks English, but overall the movie is a lot of fun. It's about discovering the master that is already within you--that's what the main character discovers. It manages to tie in many concepts from Taoism and Buddhism as well. Seeing Jet Li and Jackie Chan together is simply awesom. The fight scene they had with each other must have been at least 5 to 10 minutes long and there was a fight sequence in general every 15 minutes or so. Action-packed, in my opinion. Sometimes, you just want to have fun and not take a movie so seriously. I would hightly recomment this movie to any Jet Li or Jackie Chan fan and I'll be in line for the next movie that showcases both of them.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
