Incredibly well crafted

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2013)

Myself and the spouse have watched every prior Star Trek episode, movie and derivative from the sixties, and we loved this movie. It is the best so far. I was curious how they could do better than the last one, but they truly did.
Daughter and son in law who have not seen the original Kirk / Spock series were mixed in their reactions. Daughter had objections of not knowing why some plot aspects were important. Son in law loved it as much as we did, regardless of not knowing all the older stories.
We saw this new one in an XD 3D equipped theater that made me feel I was there with the story. Well worth it. Fantastic use of technology. Our movie technology is so far ahead of real science these days, which seems to make no real leaps and bounds to get us to warp drive and transporters.
Continuing to build their likability, the new actors are all perfect and getting more familiar for their roles.
Although I would prefer it was done in HFR like the recent Hobbit movie, I'm not deducting any points for the lack of HFR 10/10.
