For those who are die-hard fans, expecting every little detail to adhere to the script of the original television show, you will be slightly disappointed. The movie deals with relationships built up, however, before the launch of the Enterprise's five year mission, so the die-hards (and I am one) should just chill a bit and go with it. It is an exciting, never a dull moment thrill ride that does not stop! My daughter, who has never really watched an episode of the original series is now hooked - she wants to watch all of my ST original series DVDs! Very nice! This was a great show, and it sets up SO much more in the years to come. It has to be one of the best movies of the year!
