A near perfect 2013 update of the Star Trek Enterprise

Rating: 9/10 (10 May 2013)

I've always been a trekkie as compared to a Star wars fan. But being quite impressed with JJ Abrams first Star Trek outing in 2009, which currently is number 225 on the IMDb top 250 list, I most certainly can bargain for this one as well. I enjoyed the first one, but THIS IS STAR TREK of 2013.
Again, as in the TV series we are introduced to an enemy so strong, routed back to some 300 years ago. A dangerous enemy which should have been extinct, but thanks to old fashioned cryo-technology of which we here today already as discarded as useless, of course.
We get the morals of which we love. We get to see Earth as star fleet headquarters in London. We get to see the out of space San Francisco, even the real Spock in a time warp. In a way this is a homage to the old series in a way I found it difficult to manage. And then it's also an update to what it has to show off in 2013 in big budget. Because the TV series was low budget TV, made out of brilliant ideas.
This is grand sci-fi. A grand story with everything that is needed. It's a story that stands on it's own feet, as well as giving the right nods to the old series. All of them. The ship. The logos. The ideas. The colors. The beams, warps and shields. The crew. The Star Trek! Enjoy the ride, and wait fore more. This felt like a prequel to all that we loved back then. How many film will we see in the future Star Trek franchise, or should I say enterprise, now when they go out on the five year journey? You can only image!
I really start to imagine what JJ Abrams and his staff can do to save the Star Wars enterprise/franchise, because he will! What a relief for those who love the Star Wars! I never really did, and though it got worse and worse. But I think JJ Abrams visions will make Star Wars what it should have been, updated to 2014-15-16 as well. Old Sci-Fi ideas get reborn by JJ Abrams, and so it will with Star Wars. Most guaranteed. JJ Abramns is the one and only sci-fi God for old sci-fi franchises!
