Amazing, Orginal and Refreshing

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2018)

Let's face it, in an age where every older film is being remade and lazily altered slightly, I wasn't for a second expecting this. Absolutely blew my socks off. This film is everything I could ever want from the franchise and more.
Not only did they capture the essence of the characters from the original films/series, they added depth and new direction. The old universe is turned on its head and the very well written story keeps you gripped. Kirk and Spock fit very well and the twist on their relationship is woven in so well, you feel like you are watching a brand new sci-fi genre.
If ever people wanted to understand the ingredients for a good remake, this is the perfect combo. If you love Star Trek and you hate crap remakes, this is the film for you. Stunningly good, I didn't want the film to end.
Great bad guys with a purpose, great good guys not tied to their predecesors and a story that makes you yearn for more.
