My brother old school Trekkies...it is indeed very Good!

Rating: 8/10 (8 May 2009)

Yes it is sad there is no Shatner....however you are not given any time to contemplate his absence because this movie waste no time in putting the story into Warp Drive.....There is many things that this movie takes the time to acknowledge about what us "Trekkies" already know that you have to say, "thank you" to the writers and that maverick director...but shortly the rug is pulled out from underneath the "Star Trek" universe....very clever and original......
I actually was trying to resist liking this movie...being an old school Trekkie......The movie won me over in about 15 minutes..... Yes this young cat playing Captain Kirk.....tried to make the role his own...and I admire his effort....but...perhaps because of what I know of the character, and the natural, association with the Shatner....it was inevitable that the audacious and cavalier personality of Shatner played to my heart strings.
But for you newbies to Star Trek, and skeptics....well...I think you're going to enjoy the future....It has been awhile since I wanted to go out and see a movie again the very next day...
Summer is off to a good start.....
