I've already seen it twice!

Rating: 10/10 (10 May 2009)

OK so I'm old enough to have actually watched the shows as a child and yes, my husband was wearing Spock ears the first time I met him (it was Halloween), and yes, I have the original Hallmark Star Trek Enterprise Christmas Ornament in a safe deposit box so when I give this movie a 10 out of 10 you can believe that it's a 10!(Not that I even come close to true Trekkies but...this movie was so great that I have already seen it twice since it opened 2 days ago!)
The loudest applause definitely goes to JJ Abrams who so perfectly captured every nuance of the essence of Star Trek that it's a real shame the Academy Awards Committee doesn't think that Sci-Fi is art.
The actors could not have been more perfectly cast nor could they have played these legendary parts with higher quality. I felt like each one of the actors respected these characters deeply and cared for them as if it were the greatest honor in the world to play them.
Chris Pine channeled William Shatner and I swear that Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy are related somehow. McCoy was awesome and Scotty? Wow. Just not enough Scotty though. Uruha. Such a GREAT update to her character while staying true to it.
I loved the nods to favorite episodes and even the style of the bad guy music was reminiscent of the old battle scenes in the original series. And I admit it, when they first see the Enterprise out of the shuttle window, there were tears in my eyes. An AWESOME treat! Go see it. Twice. At least!
