Star Trek, The Reboot

I recently got to see the latest installment in the “Star Trek” saga, billed as a “reboot” of the franchise.

Overall, I’d call the movie a great success, although some of the forced (and horribly cheesy) dialog threatened to derail the story at times. For example, Uhura coos the line, “I’ll be monitoring your frequency,” to her significant other as he prepares to transport on a risky mission.

There were also a few scenes that seemed out of place and superfluous, such as Kirk being chased by a Spore-esque array of animals on an ice planet.

Those minor nits aside, the movie was action packed, highly entertaining, and, above all else, a very successful restart to the franchise.
