Is the new "Star Trek" the best Trek yet? In my review for LongIslandSentinel.com, I wrote:
But what about the big question for fans? That is, where does this movie rank among the other “Star Trek” films? Previously, “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” and “Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country” ranked best in this Trekker’s book. The new “Star Trek” certainly beats the other eight Trek films, and it rates just as good as II and VI.
But better? I’ll have to see the movie again before deciding, but I’m leaning towards saying that, yes, this “Star Trek” ranks as the best. And given my allegiance to William Shatner’s Kirk, Nimoy’s Spock and DeForest Kelly’s Dr. McCoy, I actually feel a bit guilty – but a guilty pleasure, indeed.
