As a long time Trek fan going back to the original series I am of two minds about this new movie...part of me wants to love it...part of me wants to hate it....
with out giving away spoilers to the movie I am afraid I can't really support either side well...
The movie had a much more modern feel than the original series with is to be expected seeing that it was made 40yrs after...the acting was overall very good. The action was a little too frantic for my taste, I tend to like to actually see what is going on instead of rapid fire bursts. A lot was changed, A WHOLE LOT as far as the history, back story etc...but at least they had a good explanation as to why. They did keep the interplay between most of the characters to the spirit of the originals.
It was very hard to see other people playing the Holy Trinity, but I will give them this, they did a good job finding actors who could pull it off. And it was great to see Nimoy again...
So over all it is a movie that is worth the time to see, and I really hope that it brings new life to the francise that was almost killed by Voyager...I think they got is right when they said "it's not your father's Star Trek" but it is Star Trek. I would give it a 9.0 out of 10
