I think I can say this with 98.7% accuracy: there will be no better summer action-adventure movie than STAR TREK.
Somehow JJ Abrams along with writers Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman (all three of which also created one of my favorite new television shows, FRINGE, starring the lovely Anna Torv) have crafted a fast moving, emotionally satisfying thrill ride full of solid performances, spectacular effects and spine-tingling plot twists that come flying at you with such fury that you take their leaps of logic without a second of hesitation. I think all would-be writers of big action flicks should take note: this is how you do it.
You should absolutely boldly go where this movie wants to take you. That goes for you old-school Trekkies, too.
Need more convincing? How about a sexy Star Trek homage by Rachel Nichols. Don’t know who she is? Check it out:
Yeah, she’s the only reason I’m gonna go see GI JOE (on a related note, this new GI JOE cartoon rocks).
