AAA: Astonishing, Amusing, Amazing!

Rating: 9/10 (7 May 2009)

The plot will be repeatedly rehashed, so I'll skip straight to my take on it.
This reboot certainly takes a respectfully clear path of the original series - while still reprising the original characters. It's quite a tightrope to walk but Director JJ Abrams has done it.
Non-Trek Fans: It's so much better than you expect.
And Die-Hard Trekkies: Abrams actually did you proud, with a newness that gives the original a really fresh approach.
Lots of fun, lots of visual and a pretty snappy script. Much better than the summer films we'll see. Don't put it in the "Made only to sell toys" category. Go see it, and you'll be glad you did.
The New Star Trek Movie = Original Star Trek + Empire Strikes Back + Independence Day + Iron Man.
