Your teacher has asked you to write a review of a film you saw
recently and you enjoyed. Write your review (100-140 words).
STAR TREK
The new Star Trek fil, directed by JJ Abrams, is a spectacular recreation and
retelling of the original tale of the successful TV series of the ‘60s. It is a fast-paced
action adventure which introduces the characters in their youth and reveals their
backgrounds and their first mission onboard the USS Enterprise.
The plot is both gripping and interesting for the Trekkie and non-Trekkie audiences
alike, full of surprising twisted and a touching love story. The filmmaker gives each
character their moment of glory within the plot. The film takes us through their first
mission to save the Earth from an evil visitor from the future, Nero.
The casting of the characters is brilliant Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto and Eric Bana
as Nero, give a fresh look at the original characters. Furthermore, the special effects
are simply out of this world!
All in all, Star Trek is sure to win over old Trekkie fans and make new ones as well.
Its plot keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end. It’s definitely a filn for
the big screen, so don’t wait for it on DVD.
