what really happened before the legend started

Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2011)

i wasn't expecting much from this movie, however the trailer enticed me to go (the appearance of a skeletal enterprise)and see it one Sunday afternoon, and i am so glad i did see it...
Lots of actors not trying to emulate their future selves work but trying not alienate a familiar audience must have been hard work. Wonderfully, messers Pine and Quinto show two people at loggerheads over how things must be done and how they should be done start on what is now known. A young Leonard Mccoy and his mannerisms was very spooky, Simon Peggs interpretation of Scott and of course the star of the show a shiny new ncc1701 in the shipyards and being shook-down in a big way on its 1st job... The acting skills taken on by those others taking on roles that will be examined by millions and millions of people - brave people who pull it off with style...the new generation can watch the TOS and this film paves the way for a journey that started a long time ago.
JJ Abrams done his research and made this production of the new way of the franchise very well..it stands in my opinion as of one of the top 3 in the franchise - those being wrath of khan and first contact...
I look forward to the next installment of this refreshing new outlook on the early years of the senior staff, the crew and journeys of the Enterprise...long may they continue and woe betide any remakes of classics such as these !!
