Different Universe?

Rating: 10/10 (11 August 2009)

I am not sure what would be considered a spoiler so I gave the possibility that it might have one or a few.
It is sad how many have complained that it was a horrible movie. The effects were great, the acting was great and solid and the story was great. Those of you who are die hard fans here is why I thought the story was great:
Gene Roddenberry is not around anymore to write anymore Star Trek stories sadly. In both TNG and Voyager they dealt with time traveling and alternate time lines. I am unsure about the others. But if you take this movie as an alternate time line and run with it, it will make J.J. Abrams a genius as a director and Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman geniuses as writers. This, if you look at it, will let Star Trek Live on. No, it doesn't follow the original program nor does it follow the written series. But it is still genius. The movie industry has been running out of ideas for new movies anyway and this, if more are made, will make some good movies. Now the question is, does Janeway exist? Do the others? How can this change the future of this science fiction? A lot of things didn't follow how Star Fleet would do things. Like Kirk being kicked off of the ship. How were rules changed due to the mess up in the beginning? He was viewed as a trouble maker and Spock did what he thought was proper. He was, after all, acting from emotions instead of logic.
The movie explains things great. You aren't left asking "why?" I am frustrated, as a fellow writer, that those that are against this are so negative about this.
If you are reading this and haven't seen the movie yet, I suggest watching it for yourself. Keep an open mind that it could be an alternate reality.
10 stars to the director and writers for this movie as well as everyone else that worked on this movie.
