This is a remake not a re-imagining.

Rating: 8/10 (15 January 2010)

After finishing the movie it's clear that this movie isn't out to neglect the source material and completely create new characters. The creators of this movie took great care in giving Trekkie fans a nice Vulcan salute. This is a really great movie! I'm glad that Star Trek was put into the right hands. A disaster could have spelled disaster to a franchise very important to me and many, many others.
Everything works out well in this movie. It has a fast pace. It's edited nicely. There's no time to waste scenes in this movie. This is also a very funny movie at some points. Especially a sick Kirk running around the ship with swollen hands and tongue while Bones is following him trying to cure him.
This movie really doesn't disappoint. I can't wait for the next movie to come out. Walk into "Star Trek 2009" with an open mind and you'll be glad you did.
