Absolutely Brilliant!

Rating: 10/10 (10 May 2009)

I grew up with the original Star Trek - Jim Kirk, Spock, Bones, Scotty etc, were all part of my childhood – so I approached this remake with some trepidation.
I absolutely loved it! The casting was pretty much spot on, there were some goofs (such as Mr Chekov) but they were easily forgiven. The story line was quite clever allowing the original series and this new series to co-exist using the same characters.
The special effects and action scenes are as you would expect for the 21st Century – fast paced, brilliantly executed and edge-of–your seat. You were into the thick of the action from the start but there was sufficient time for good character development and storyline.
If this is the beginning of a new series of Star Trek then all I can say is "Live long and prosper".
