Fresh Start, True to the Past with a Chance for New Stories

Rating: 10/10 (29 May 2009)

As a Long Time Trekker (Trekkie) since the 60's and original, I wondered if this could be done without Shatner, Nimoy, and Kelley. Well, it can and it was! This Trek is true to the cannon and still fresh. In the words of Scotty: "I like this ship, it's exciting!"
The only hangup I had was the Engine room just didn't look right. I think they could have, and should have, kept the previous incarnation standard Warp Core. But, in the scheme of things, this is so minor that it really is unimportant. The special effects were incredible, big ships in a dogfight were exciting to watch, not lumbering and slow as in previous Science Fiction shows, including Star Trek and Star Wars.
I am on my way to see it for the third time!
