OK! so this weeks current event is about the Star Trek movie, and I found an article on Star Trek's amazing box office opening! So partly why I chose this article was that I saw the movie this weekend and I was VERY impressed by it! It made a total of $76.5 million on opening weekend, and even beat Dark Knight's gross money from IMAX showings, now that's intense! Another well important fact from this movie was how well it did on reviews, especially Rotten Tomatoes' 96% on opening weekend on positive ratings, (Which was a 100% at one point on the Opening day, and is now currently still holding strong at 95%).
As for myself I give a great thumbs up to JJ Abrams on the work of this movie. First of all, I'm sure it appealed to major Star Trek fans as much as it did to the general public. As for myself who has no idea about Star Trek, I didn't need to know anything to see the movie. Another thumbs up to the amazing casting of this movie. Chris Pine who had the leading role of Captain Kirk, did amazing in one of his first leading roles. Hopefully it won't be his last amazing leading role considering how well he did! Other roles who did very well was Spock's by Zachary Quinto, Dr. McCoy's by Karl Urban, Sulu's by John Cho, and Simon Pegg who was Scotty.
Lastly what I also loved was the movie's soundtrack, as for being in band, I usually always love a movie with a good orchestral soundtrack. This movie's soundtrack was easily as good as Pirate of the Caribbean's or Lord of the Ring's. So I HIGHLY recommend you see this movie if you love action and a good general movie, don't be turned off just because it's Star Trek!
