Enjoyable even for non trekkies

Rating: 7/10 (15 February 2010)

I'd like to start off this review by saying I am not a fan of the Star Trek franchise and never have been. I have seen random episodes of several of the many series carrying the title, but was never really grasped by any of the series. Other than knowing the names of the iconic crew members such as Captain Kirk, Spock, Sulu, Uhura etc. I do not posses much knowledge of the history of Star Trek. Having said that, I went into this movie with little to no expectations, which may explain why I could find few faults with this movie. I enjoyed the plot and although the transition of Kirk from simple cadet to captain felt a little rushed, it did not hurt the storyline in my opinion.
I can imagine that fans of the Star Trek franchise might have more trouble with this movie due to possible inaccuracies when compared to "actual" history from the series. However as I stated I am not one of these fans, and judging by the scores the movie received in several reviews I read, I will take the liberty to assume that both hardcore fans and newcomers enjoyed this movie for what it was as I did.
I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a good sci-fi movie every now and then, not only to Star Trek fans and I believe it has what it takes to draw younger generations to the Star Trek franchise, and consider it a worthy reboot.
7/10 - Good for what it is, not looking at possible inaccuracies when compared to the original series.
