A very enjoyable and exciting science fiction movie, which takes the audience back to the adventures of the first and best (my opinion) of the USS Enterprise crew. All the actors are all very good choices to represent these familiar characters from the original 1960s series. Karl Urban as Dr McCoy is my particular favourite. Eric Bana as the villain Nero is unrecognisable; it took me awhile to see it was him in this role! Also, there is a red shirt ‘reference’. In the original series, if a landing party went to an alien’s planets surface. The crew member wearing the red jersey or uniform would be the one to be killed; this film doesn’t break from this rule! |
