A Great alternative to the series.

Rating: 10/10 (22 July 2012)

I'm a fan of many of the star trek series, I like the whole universe.
This film is great, it stands apart from the series in that, it's shorter, has better effects, is more action orientated. etc. Many would even claim it's not really star trek because they changed too much, blah blah.
I like that whole time travel resulting mess that this film uses as a basis for it's plot. Those who are expecting this guy to be the this and this species to be that, because they were in the series which for the most part are set after this film. Are in for a shock when everything gets changed around, making the plot intriguing and surprising.
Coupled together with stunning visual effects, the sound of the warp engine igniting is almost erotic and great acting from the cast, makes this one of the best movies to spend your money this decade.
