Star Trek is Back

Rating: 9/10 (16 February 2013)

So, Star Trek 09. The resurrection of the franchise, or it's destruction? For me, it's the resurrection- at last, Star Trek moves beyond the stale, tired formula it employed for Voyager and Enterprise, and it's free of the blight that was Nemesis. Star Trek is reinvented and invigorated.
Is the film perfect? No, of course not. Will it please every Trekkie? Definitely not (we're a fickle bunch, and we all have our own opinions about what Star Trek should be). Did it please this particular Trekkie? Absolutely! It was fun, full of energy, and it got people talking about Star Trek again.
