Wonderful Reboot

Rating: 8/10 (8 November 2009)

This movie did exactly what it was supposed to do - to boost the Star Trek franchise and attract new fans. The movie feels fresh with good story telling, a new set, and the new cast. Good acting is not always found in this genre.
I'm old enough to watch entire the Next Generation w/o missing an episode during its first run. But admit it, the science and logic of the Star Trek series are not exactly, well, logical. The format of talkative, lecture laden with not always fresh messages, doesn't translate well to the big screen nowadays. The fact is that the entertainment industry is profit first. A franchise needs to attract a brand new generation of fans to stay alive and flourish. The movie did just that.
After all, isn't being open-minded an important message from Star Trek?
