I love this movie so much! I watched Star Trek for the first time is when I watched Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013). It was a remake of the original movies with the original cast. Mr. Shatner, Mr. Nimoy, Mr. Kelley (RIP) are the best trio I've ever known. I loved them, Spock have his logic and Bones hates Spock but in a good way. I remember this quotes from Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (I hoped I wasn't wrong, but I think it is, the scene was when they were having a camp together) and Bones said something that insult Spock but Spock said thank you. So Bones said, "I insult him, but he take that as a compliment." and another quote I liked from Bones is when he talked to Spock (again, haha) and being annoyed by Spock so he said, "God, I liked him better before he died." Anyway, my last but not least is Captain Kirk. I believe everybody do love Captain Kirk. William Shatner is Kirk, he has the charisma which I can't tell you why, I just loved him. I love Star Trek!
I fell in love with Star Trek first, which made me a fan of Star Trek. I have already watched the movies from I-VI (it's the original motion picture) and for VII-X I am still on my way! I have already decided too to watch The Original Series and still downloading a lot of episodes. This movie is my favorite sci-fi ever. I've made that decision. So I want to review Star Trek (2009) first and then Star Trek: Into Darkness (2013).
Star Trek (2009)
So, the photo above is the comparison or differences between the old Star Trek and the new one. Everybody loves the original as always but my mom said that it was aired in our country in 60s so I guess it was pretty old. Very old. The reason Star Trek was getting a remake is maybe because of the fans that missed Star Trek so they can recall their memories of their Star Trek.
As a newbie of Star Trek's fan, I just want to express my opinion about this first remake movie of Star Trek. This movie is good, very good, I love the visual, the plot was interesting, time-travel. The Prime Spock meets the Young Spock, it was pretty interesting. For the characters and casts in here,
Karl Urban as Dr. Leonard McCoy (Bones). Give Karl Urban an applause as he plays the role of Dr. Leonard McCoy aka Bones! He is really good for being Bones and his acting was very natural and similar just like the original Bones. He was hot too (but that was just a plus plus for him). I thought DeForrest was mind melting him before he died, because there is no difference between them. Oh and also Urban was a fan of Star Trek when he was a child so, no doubt why he can act so natural... Bones is still my favorite character in Star Trek!
Chris Pine as Kirk, yup he was good. He was a good actor and in fact he is very handsome and hot. God help me. He has a deep unique voice and blue eyes that can melt you down in a second! But yep he was good for plays the role of Captain Kirk, but in this first remake of movie is just showing the story from Kirk and Spock when they were a child until Kirk join the Starfleet, making up a mess, getting a fight with Spock and have a responsibility for being a first officer with Spock being an acting captain which in the end he manipulate spock for signing out of being acting captain because Spock was emotionally screwed because he just lost his mother and his planet. So Kirk take the command and he became the acting captain of Enterprise!
Zach Quinto as Spock. He is hot too. When the first I watched Star Trek, I fell in love first with Spock. Maybe it's weird and maybe it's not because after that I browsed on the internet, and boom, Zach is sooooo hooooot. I can't say anthing, he is very good for plays the role of Spock. He's too cute.
Anton Yelchin as Pavel Chekov, he was good, I mean he is a Russian but I thought he really have those accents as Chekov but the fact is nope. He hasn't that accent yet he has fluent English. God. But he is a good actor.
Simon Pegg as Scotty, well I only can say, "Can I get a towel please?"
John Cho and Zoe Saldana is a good actor too in here, I mean they are all a great actor in here. My favorite scene in this movie is when Kirk meets Bones for the first time. I can remember some words, Bones said to Kirk, "Don't pander to me kid,........one tiny crack in the hull, and blahblah and see when your eyeballs are bleeding!" You may guessed how many times I watched this movies by this review. Actually I think I've watched it for more than 20 times. Alright, I will give you the clips and trailer, just for you.
So that was my chit-chat or my obsession as a newbie of Star Trek's fan. I'll update this post for Star Trek: Into Darkness review! Ciao!
