Best, most entertaining movie since..well, i don't know when.

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2009)

a couple of things to make clear before i tell ya what i think of the film.
Yes, i've seen every Star Trek movie. Yes, I was a fan of TNG as a kid, and a semi-fan of DS9. I've watched a few episodes of the original series, and think it was fine. Voyager and Enterprise were LAME.
Now. I LOVED THIS MOVIE. Honestly, I cannot remember seeing a better, more exciting movie in theaters since Terminator 2.
J.J. and company have breathed a new, invigorating life into what I have long considered to be a dying or dead franchise (basically since the end of TNG, especially that last movie where they killed Data. LAME. Though DS9 got a lot better when they added Worf)
Boohoo, there's a Cardassian. Wahhhh they know about Romulans. From seeing the movie, you can tell that it was never meant to be entirely canon, although to the naked, virgin eye, it appears to be. And I believe the naked virgin eye is the set that J.J. was trying to appeal to, while at the same time trying not to p*** off too many Trekkie's. But lets face it, Trekkie's, you were already p***ed off before you even saw the movie. Please, take your complaints to the next Star Trek convention, to which I'm sure the new cast will be invited.
The cast is BRILLIANT, especially Simon Pegg as Scotty. Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto really pull off the Kirk/Spock dynamic well, in the end, and I must say, Chris Pine plays a purely bad ass Kirk.
Anyway, don't miss this movie. Go see it in theaters though, a big screen and a loud surround sound really add to the excitement of the picture.
