A return to familiar characters.

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2013)

Finally Abrams has tied in his reboot with the original characters. This alone made the movie great.
As a fan of all the actors I was really underwhelmed by the likeness in the previous movie to the characters' personalities. It was like a complete reinvention of the characters.
THIS MOVE CORRECTED THAT MISTAKE!!!!! Finally Abrams had his actors acting like the original characters, save for Chekov. He still has a bit to go to capture that character.
Self entitled little kids are going to whine and complain for instant gratification, but that doesn't change that this was a masterpiece for the series. It completely rewrote the original sequel while maintaining some of its integrity.
I face palmed at some of what I thought was leading up to rehashed scenes from the sequel only to be surprised again and again.
No true Trekkie will dislike this film, only those falsely claiming to be Trekkies. My dad and I were quite entertained and can't wait for the next installment. Given the past failures of the Next Generation movies, that's saying a lot for a couple of old die hard fans.
