Star Trek

Fast paced, special effects are outstanding.
Story is interesting because of the blending of past characters, also the appearance of "old" Spock again. Clever way to start a Star Trek craze among a whole new generation of Treckies.

Great Story - Great Movie

After watching the Academy Awards I decided I just had to see this movie, it sounded very different and the story intrigued me. I wasn't disappointed. The scenes of the slums of India were very realistic and shocking, making one realize how some others in our world live and survive on a daily basis. The children are so exploited and abused and the trash and filth they live in is inconceiveable to those of us with clean houses and indoor plumbing.
I liked the format of the movie, going from past to present, etc. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone else, but the ending is somewhat a surprise, and all I can say is, there is so much more than money that is important in life.

Disappointing

With all the hype for months prior to releasing this movie, my husband and I looked forward to viewing it. However, it was a waste of time. First of all, it was waaayyyy too long. It could have easily been cut to 2 hours. The performance of Heath Ledger was not as outstanding as was expected. I think the connection to his untimely death helped to hype this movie, not his performance. This movie is very much like many movies made recently; a lot of violence, a lot of car chase, a lot of noise, and a lot of special effects just for the sake of it. We felt it had very little story content, and of course the ending provides room for another sequel to be made. When we left the theater, we both said at the same time, "This was not equal to the hype that has been promoted" We could have skipped it.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
