Excellent and well worth watching!! Roddenberry would be proud.

Rating: 9/10 (25 August 2013)

For those who want the same story retold over and over it's a shame they can't see the brilliance JJ Abrams brings to the franchise. I think it was an excellent story and I love the twist! I think those who can't get out of the past to see the good qualities of this movie are foolish and sad. They are missing the whole idea that the stories will have new endings because the time line was changed thanks to Nero. The only thing I would have a slight issue with was continuity was lacking in some areas.
The special effects are stunning and the soundtrack was equally stunning. I enjoy that Abrams understands the Naval shipboard terminology and protocols. Outside of that it's an excellent movie and worth the watch!!
