The very BEST Star Trek movie since The Wrath of Khan.
There was not a dull moment in this entire film....it had it all, humor, action, love, special effects, sadness....u name it. The movie was fast paced and actually EXCEEDED my expectations, and I'm quite hard on Trek films.
The entire "alternate timeline" theory is good and I was alittle concerned about changes to the canon, but all in all, FANTASTIC FILM and well worth the price. They needed to do something to bring Star Trek into the 21st century.
Another thing, u can watch it with absolutely NO prior Star Trek experience or exposure, and it stands alone as a GREAT Sci Fi film.
