Star Trek
Not a big Trekkie but I really enjoyed this. Obviously everybody knows all the characters and it was good to see them as younger versions and how they came together and got to know each other (kind of). Really good special effects, good acting, decent plot.
If there was one thing that let it down, the story wasn't really as 'epic' as I would have liked. It was, more or less, a simple baddie revenge story with some really nice bits thrown in on the side. I wasn't really interested with Eric Banna's character or the Romulans.
7/10
District 9
I liked this. It took a while to get going and the oh so subtle comparisons between apartheid and the way the aliens were treated was a bit boring and patronising, they even set it in Johannesburg.
The 'documentary narrative' went on a bit too long but once the story got going, I really enjoyed it. Good acting, I felt like I cared about the characters.
7/10
Maybe I'm being a bit harsh on both films. Both could have hit an 8/10 but both good films, I'd recommend them.
