I’ll be
honest and say that I haven’t seen the original Star Trek, not the TV show or
the movies. I just assumed they wouldn’t appeal me, maybe because they’re a bit
old, I don’t know, but boy am I glad I discovered this universe.
All I knew
about Star Trek were tidbits of information I gathered from watching The Big
Bang Theory. I could not tell you what pushed me to watch it, but one day I
decided to rent the 2 most recent Star Trek movies: Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness, both directed by the amazing J. J. Abrams. The movies don’t feature the Original cast, instead they star
Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Zoe Saldana who all do a fantastic job at
capturing the essence of these iconic characters.
I won’t go
into detail of the plots, but know that each movie is fun, witty, full of
action and will keep you on your toes. They are some of the best movies I have
seen in a long time, they are visually STUNNING and you can expect quite a few good laughs. It’s something I believe both guys and girls would enjoy and, if your
parents were fans of the original series, it makes a great family night movie.
I re-watched it with my mom and it was amazing to connect over something of her
past we could both enjoy.
In case you
want to have a look at them, I’ll leave the links to the trailers below:
If you
decide to purchase them I urge you to get the Blu-Ray version, it
really does the special effects justice. You can find Star Trek and Star Trek Into Darkness on Amazon, they're also available in stores for about the same price (15 to 20$).
2016 cannot
come fast enough with the next installment of this series.
