Great Fun!

Rating: 8/10 (9 May 2009)

This was a good take on the development of the characters in the original show. As a fan of the original series, I always found the Star Trek movies with the original cast to be disappointing. It almost seemed like they were just going through the motions to make the Star Trek movies (with the notable exception of "The Wrath of Khan").
Though a couple of the Star Trek TV series' that came later were good, they always fell short of expectations. TNG was the best, all the others that followed was either bad, or worse.
This movie, however, has kept the characters to what you had always hoped they were, and made them even better, all the while keeping the plot going with a lot of action. It even added a few ideas that put a new light on watching reruns of the original series. On this, I will just say that Kirk really was as sexually prolific as was thought and that Spock has a little more than just logic in his head.
