I saw this in 2008 but for some reason I just didn't get into it. When it was on again recently, I watched it and fell in love with it. Great performances all around, and the storyline is sweet without being saccharine. What a cute, engaging movie!
I really enjoyed this! Despite the fact that it features Peter Cook, I hadn't seen it yet, so it was quite a treat to come across it while flipping through the channels. Fantastic cast, very funny, and one I'm going to want to watch again.
As someone who isn't too familiar with the original series of Star Trek, I still found the movie to be good fun. The characters were fully formed and full of personality, and according to my mom, who watched the original series back in the 60s, were also faithful to the characterizations of the original cast.
It totally deserves its Oscar! A lot happens in the film, but it's never confusing. You're pretty much glued to the screen the whole time, eager to find out what happens next.
