This could have easily been droll and uninteresting when in fact the opposite is true. This is (quite literally) a non-stop thrill ride.
Written, executed and cast PERFECTLY (flawlessly) and kept me on the edge of my seat through much of it. It may well over 2 hours...but I could easily have sat through another 2 hours.
Witness now the REBIRTH of the franchise!
Star Trek is one of the best movies I've seen in a LONG TIME! Go see it, you won't regret it.
