A superb experience

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2013)

I just came back from watching this to a packed theater on a Monday afternoon. I am also a long time fan, having watched every single Star Trek episode (that's all of them, TOS, TNG, Enterprise, DS9, Voyageur) and all the movies as well as many novels. I found this movie better than the first one in 2009. It was funny, fast paced, and well written. Every member of the original crew got a decent amount of air time. My favorite was always Scotty, who at a young age provided a superior example of an engineer to me. In the movie he is allowed to develop much more than the first, finding plenty of action in a pivotal role.
Much has already been said in the reviews here, but I wanted to add my own, that as a fan I am excited with where the franchise is headed under the direction of J. J. Abrams.
For the people that gave this movie a poor review, I have no idea what planet you are from, and for those that claim to be fans, I seriously doubt it. I have many friends that are fans as I am, professionals of many disciplines, and they all loved it.
This is a very good movie. If you haven't seen it and are worried about critics, don't be. Go see it and be rewarded.
