Star Trek is a marvel I was not expecting

Rating: 10/10 (11 April 2011)

Having watched all of Star Trek's incarnations from day 1, I was a little concerned about the changing of the current Star Trek Universe time line. However, my fears were allayed, for what other franchise can so deftly manipulate the time line and still have things make sense? I must also compliment them on their primary character casting. None of the actors are miscast at all, and seem a perfectly natural fit to those names that a lot of us have grown up with, particularly Simon Pegg as Scotty.
In hindsight, I guess trying to jump back to the normal time line beginning would not have been as interesting, and it would have also precluded them from having Leonard Nimoy play an older Spock.
This was a well thought out movie. Good script, believable characters, and great FX. A most interesting and welcome addition to the Star Trek family. I can only hope the sequels will be kept to the same high standard.
