I am now entering my 50th year. I have been a fan since I was 7 years old and watching it from behind a chair because I was usually sent to bed before Star trek started. I have enjoyed the other parts of the franchise but it will always be Kirk and company who have my heart, so when they announced the remake I was mortified. My fear was laid to rest with the first film. I left with a renewed interest in my old friend which had been worn down over time with DS9 and Voyger, both of which just about destroyed my love of all things Trek. But here we are with Into Darkness and I have once again been blown away with not just the effects but the acting, writing and the amazing way the story I had come to expect had been turned on it's head. I welcome seeing Chris Pine taking Kirk to a place he belonged. Zachery Quinto has brought a wonderful innocence to Spock, Karl Urban has made McCoy attractive in so many ways. And thank you Simon Pegg for adding a little extra to Scotty. The rest of the crew are just as stunning. I have no doubt Gene would have been proud of this one.
