Boldy Going at last

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2013)

I've heard plenty of whining about this movie so I went into it half thinking it wasn't going to be all that good. Boy was I surprised. It was an incredible action movie filled with allusions of past Trek. This might have been where the whining comes from because I know how people get. I thought the references were well done and all the character development was well placed and felt right for the plot. The story itself was beautifully told. There was not much about the latest Abrams vision of Trek that I didn't like. I am not sure if you will like it if you are not a fan of the franchise because there is a great deal of emotional impact based on the knowing of Trek lore but for those who like Trek but aren't purist you probably enjoy it. I am hoping for a third helping myself.
