Bristol Cinema: Star Trek, Bristol, Somerset
26 May 2009: Bristol Cinema: Star Trek
A new vision of the greatest space adventure of all time, with a young new crew taking us back to the early days of James T. Kirk and his fellow USS Enterprise crew members venturing boldly where no man has ever gone before.
'Star Trek has never looked better. The special effects that bring the space battles to life are incredible. The spaceships are awesome constructions, with Nero's mining vessel looking like the spiky chaos he wishes to inflict on the world, while the smooth and lasting Enterprise is order, reason, and goodness embodied. Spock also gets his own interstellar fighter vehicle that is every bit as inventive as he is. The clashes are filmed with clear focus and steady cameras, electrifying the war scenes while still making sure they are easy to follow. Similar care is given to all the details, from the updating of the uniforms to the creation of alien creatures that fit within this new world naturally. Add to that a complex and fearsome villain (Bana can be quite menacing), and you've pretty much got everything.'
'a reassuring balance between worship and modernization, a masterful one at times, offering fans enough familiarity to soothe while plunging ahead as an (hopefully) up and coming franchise for years to come. ... a stupendous revitalization of a concept bled dry long ago. It offers nothing but pleasures to those in tune with Gene Roddenberry's original creation, and provides ample comfort to newcomers who should immediately set aside anticipated Trekkie bias and suit up with Starfleet for the true roller coaster ride of the summer.'
'All the actors come up aces. Chris Pine radiates star quality as Kirk, the bad boy who morphs into captain material without curbing his swagger or his yen for zaftig green babes from Orion. And major props to Zachary Quinto as Spock for never letting the pointy ears act for him. His sharp, intuitive performance as the logic-led Vulcan fighting the emotions instilled by his human mother gives the film a soul.'
'It's fast-paced, sexy, funny, and takes place in a galaxy filled with danger, but also excitement and adventure. The various incarnations of "Star Trek" have been a number of good things (and some bad things), but it's been a while since they've felt this wide-open and unpredictable.'
