The character casting and well thought plot will make this a great hit!

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2009)

I was very lucky to be able to see the pre-screen for this movie on Monday at the AMC Studio 30 and I am still in complete awe of how great of a movie this is! I will not go into a lot of details, as I hate spoilers, just the basic comments. First, they were spot on with all the casting, these "new" faces do an excellent job to honor the original cast. My personal favorite is the new Bones. The plot is a little confusing in the beginning, but the suspense is rewarding as the storyline opens. Some of the fight scenes are a little too fast, and I would suggest sitting far enough away from the screen to adjust for this. There were moments in the theater when the whole audience clapped and laughed, and I don't think anyone walked away disappointed in any respect. I was fortunate enough to be sitting with two older gentlemen who were 1st generation Trekkies, and even they were overjoyed with the movie. The best thing about this movie is that you don't have to be a hardcore Star Trek fan, or even a big fan of sci-fi to be able to appreciate this movie. I don't see how anyone could come out of it with a bad experience. I would not doubt if this leads to a whole new world of new movies for another generation to enjoy!
