While not perfect, this new breed of Star Trek movie is just what the doctor (McCoy?) ordered for the aging franchise. JJ Abrams and crew wanted to make Star Trek fresh and cool again and I believe they have succeeded. Despite a somewhat convoluted and complex story, the movie is still very fun and enjoyable. If I had not been so well versed in the Trek universe I probably would have gotten lost in all of it.
Still, there is enough action, humor and character arcs to keep most viewers in their seats, despite the rampant technobabble.
Overall, this is a fun and exciting film, and I'm hopeful it will inject new life into this beloved franchise. I recommend going to see this movie 2 or 3 times (or more)!
