Incredible except for the last five seconds!

Just been to see Star Trek....WOW! It's fantastic, it ticks all the right boxes, they've got the balance right between the new and the old, kept the element of humour which was always there particularly with Kirk, but most importantly nailed all of the characters which was really what the original Star Trek was all about!. The makers of James Bond would do well to sign up Abrams for the next picture to restore Bond's key elements which they've ignorantly thrown away, and it also goes to show what Thunderbirds could have been if they'd stayed with the original values of the TV show and not turned Tracy Island into a kid's playground! The only let down was the last few seconds when you hear the iconic line "Space... the Final Frontier, these are the voyages of the starship Enterprise...." just at the point where everyone in the audience is speaking the last line "to boldly go where no..." they've changed it! the word "man" has gone and been replaced with "no ONE has gone before"! So the wonderful glow that would have stayed for hours after I'd left the cinema was evaporated with the reality of politically correct earth in 2009! oh dear...what a shame. After going to all that trouble to capture all the essence of the original they didn't have the bottle to leave that most memorable tag line in its wonderful glory. Is the human race no longer called MANkind? Please JJ in the future put it back to the original, it just isn't the same and if it upsets a few femme lefties... well I know what James T. Kirk would say!!!!!
