Possibly the best of the Trek movies, its one of the best films of the year

Rating: 9/10 (8 May 2009)

So far its the best American movie I've seen from this year. It's amazing.
The film is a restart of the original series within continuity-yes the film connects to all of the other series and movies- and then heads off in its own way. The characters can now be what they were and potentially grow in new directions.
The plot has a time tripping Romulan named Nero seeking revenge for the destruction of Romulus by traveling back in time to get the person he feels was responsible for the event- Spock. Of course there are complications as in the person he seeks to kill is merely a child... As the story unfolds the characters we all know and love come on stage and do there thing. Its wonderful.
I had a blast and was laughing at all of the jokes and references and things that were spot on. Clearly JJ Abrams and his writers know and love the source and they don't rip things apart willie nillie. (I have been a fan since I was in diapers during the original run so this stuff runs in my blood) Very recommended on as big a screen as possible.
I'm planning on going back.
