Those who worried that JJ Abrams would toss out all that is familiar in the Trek universe need not have. People will be talking about the integration of some of the best Trek lore into the story for years to come.
Anyone who enjoys a good action movie will enjoy this one, Trek fans or not. The action is nearly non-stop, and yet it also manages to tell the character story. That is very difficult to pull off, and is a real credit to the directing and editing of the film.
The casting and acting are first rate, and I believe long-time fans will truly enjoy what the new actors bring to the characters.
I had a sense this movie would be something special, and it is.
