Pure Genius

Rating: 8/10 (22 May 2014)

Let me first start off by saying I'm not a purist, whatever that means. I am a big Star Trek fan and The Wrath of Khan is one of those movies that you can watch over and over again, it will always be to me the pinnacle of the Star Trek franchise. To me, Wrath of Khan is what Empire is to the Star Wars franchise (ironically J.J. will be doing that to). But what I can say is that what J.J. Abrams has done is not a reboot, re-imagining, remake, retelling, or whatever name Hollywood uses to put out there latest piece of garbage. What he has done is made pure sequels, it is a telling of what would happen if after Star Trek VI, Spock went back and changed history. Thats what people don't realize. Don't get me wrong, from a total movie standpoint, it has its flaws but in the whole I think its worthy of the praise it gets.
