I'll admit I'm a Star Trek fan, not a hardcore one mind you. Loved three of the series (Star Trek, Next Gen, and Deep Space 9) as well as the even numbered Trek films (2,4,6,and 8). This film has breathed new life into the franchise and has to me made up for 11 years of disapointent the franchise has given me (shows Voyger, Enterprise and the film Nemesis). The film is a revival a return to form, the film does the same thing as the "Mega Man 9" game by going back to basics is going foward. And this is a great thing because it has brought a whole new generation of fans or a new aprreciation for the franchise. My mom and my friends aren't Star Trek fans and they love this film.

I'm also a fan of J.J. Abrams and he was defenantly the right choice to make this film because he both understands and treats the "Star Trek" mythology with respect but most of all a master at characterization and relations. The speical effects and action are top notch, the music was great I even loved that end credit music which was a remixed version of the original TV show theme song, even the plot is good, but most imporatantly the performance and the casting are all spot on and on key. Everone was just great and some actually looked (or a little) like the predesessors that played the orignal roles, and the way J.J. handled them he made them even better than before (in my opinion anyway). Loved Zackary Quinto as Spock whom is my favorate character in the show we say some of the famous trademarks but also some new features like one of them the fact he has a romantic relationship with character Ahora (Zoe Salina)another reason why he's my favorate character.
Karl Urban is great as Bones. And of course my second favorate character in the show James T. Kirk played by newcomer Chris Pine. His performance I thought was great, some say he looks like Shatner though personally I though he looked more like actor Michael Witherly who plays Tony from the show "NCIS" heck the was Chris played him remined me of the Tony character. He's arrogant, cocky, a non comitment type when it comes to women and romance much like James Bond, but is very smart, has great leadership quality, determined and does care about other people. I even love some moments that I thought were hilarious like that simulator where he is comanding the starship with an apple in his hand. But most other comidy moments belong to Scotty played with charming hilarity by Simon Pegg.

Star Trek blasts off to the stars and beyond.
