This is not your fathers Star Trek. As stated before release.

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2009)

No, it was not another episode from the original series. Or, a prequel to that series. However, it was a great movie. Everything that happened in this movie, from the attack on the USS Kelvin right up to the credits, was not the old fans Star Trek. That event, at the beginning of the movie, changed all of the characters lives in some way. Technically, you could write a whole new time line worth or episodes/movies off of this new movie. In the end, most of the original characters came to be on the enterprise one way or another, but they all had some changes. Basically, if you wanted it to be a true prequel to the old series/movies. Well your out of luck. I personally hope they continue on with this time line. I think it was far more real than the original. Sorry old fans. Time to jump into the 21st, so to speak. lol Live long and prosper!
