Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

From the opening expose of Klingon..reminiscent of the 1st ST film..this series had me riveted. The production quality..the extremely imaginative and well constructed story lines.. and the culmination of the full story arc.. which made me go back and watch it all over again.. all these factors plus the characters and great acting has me chomping at the bit for series 2.

The death of Star Trek. In this version of the 23rd century there is no longer a Y chromosome. All there is are women I. Charge and gay men, gay men in doctors outfits and gay men in alien suits. The only characters who are heterosexual males are pathetic or totally flawed. It's rubbish this show $ 100 million of political correctness gone mad. Little woman beating up massive aliens, the klingons are about as scary as Labrador puppy. The vastness of space as conveyed in Star Trek original turned into a few minutes between stops.SO sad

I was very excited to watch this new TV series, but sorely disapointed and disgusted with it's content!I didn't really like the cast at all, so never really 'got into' the show from the start. But, I like Star Trek and stuck with it through the entire first season.My two biggest problems with this show are: (1) The gay kissing. It was bad enough seeing this homo crap on screen once, but it was way WAY too frequent and gross. It really put me off the show. (2) They f-bombed it! Why would they ruin Star Trek with the f-word?! Seriously, that is beyond my comprehension.Sadly, I think they shouldn't even be allowed to brand this as 'Star Trek' because of the 2 prior-mentioned peeves. And also, it wasn't the proper "each episode is a unique adventure" format, but rather one long drawn-out movie spread accross a season.The violence, gore, swearing and homosexual content are not what I remember seeing in previous Star Trek series. Yes previous series had battles, fights, some basic gore effects, but the level of detail in the Discovery is too graphic. I also remember one single episode of ST-DS9 having a lesbian kiss, which was not to my liking as well, but it was brief and quick.I feel very sad and let down with this series, and definately will not be continuing to watch future seasons (if they make any).

Great acting, great writing, great production value and quality television that is in the spirit of the original and boldly goes where it could not go before. A solid 7/10, but I'm putting 10 stars to counteract the hate. Please do not pay attention to the angry nerds peppering the show with one-star reviews. Watching one episode would prove to anyone that even if it isnt their cup of tea, it's not a 1/10. That kind of hyperbolic nonsense is just backlash that would follow literally any attempt to revisit a universe thats been reinterpreted this many times.
