Love it!

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2013)

As a long-time Trekker and huge fan of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, I am very pleased to see that the franchise is headed in an exciting direction. This latest movie certainly has a mediocre script, but the direction, acting and editing are just superb. I used to think that the script was the most important part of a movie, but I can see how excellent execution can redeem suspect story lines. I feel like the reboot movies by Abrams are for people with ADD, which the majority of this nation has become when it comes to films. I can watch both this movie and the 2009 film over and over again. Abrams keeps the visuals stunning and the camera in constant motion, except for scenes where it needs to be still for certain emotional responses. Now that he is taking over Star Wars, I hope he continues to helm Star Trek, too, but regardless, the tone has been set. And I for one can't wait for the next movie which will likely involve the Kilingons! Live long and prosper, Star Trek franchise!!! I remember when it was on life support after Shatner's Star Trek V and after the last TNG feature film.
