As a true Trekkie, I was hesitant to see this movie, as I am a purist, at heart and feel that a prequel can ruin classic stroylines such as the original Star Trek in it's two original seasons.
I was surprisingly entertained and loved the fact that the story line was closely tied onto Gene Roddenberry's original plot. It linked in characters from the TV show and, with the exception of Spock's future self brought in, the movie made sense. I give it two thumbs up!
