Damn it Jim, I'm a Dr., not a movie reviewer!

This was a simply wonderful reboot of the Star Trek franchise. It was fast, exciting, funny, sad, and gorgeous to watch. The casting was perfect for such well known roles and the actors brought just enough of the original characters along with subtle differences that show this really is an alternate time line. In fact, the only caricatures I've seen are the annoyed Trek "purists" who all seem massively upset that Abrams and company didn't actually break any canon but rather made their entire holy book obsolete. Their whining write ups sound like they're auditioning for a part on the next Galaxy Quest to make fun of themselves.
