Don't fix what's not broken!

Rating: 7/10 (8 May 2009)

Other than the alternate time line introducing catastrophe and death and unexpected romances that don't gel and don't have chemistry with the general Star Trek universe AND the lens glare throughout the movie....it was good! Pacing could have been slower though, to develop the storyline and characters.
Fans don't want Star Trek to die out but they won't swallow too much liberty either. Like the way Star Trek the motion picture was good albeit tedious till the Wrath of Khan came along and took the franchise on a wild and wondrous ride; here's hoping that the sequel (which is already on the cards) will elevate the franchise without sacrificing much of what we fans love about the Trek back stories on our beloved characters. LOVED Leonard Nimoy's role, I am SO HAPPY to see him again as Spock.
J.J. Abrams....please take note, don't mess with the characters too much. Remember why the rebooting of Batman worked SO WELL, the movie stayed true to the original back story and it gained the fans' support while winning new ones.
