As a lifelong Star Trek fan, I was quite skeptical going into this film. Rebooting a franchise can be a tricky, and sometimes sad thing (e.g. the new James Blond). I'll even admit to some disappointment at the opening (felt too much like another "young prodigy born to save the galaxy" saga we're all familiar with. But by the time the ending credits rolled, I was SOLD. Each actor captured the essence and quirks of the main characters, while bringing their own turn to their role (Karl Urban's cantankerous but loveable Dr. McCoy, and Simon Pegg's Scotty were brilliant). J.J. Adams, and his talented team of writers, have created a story that boldly goes where no Star Trek has gone before, a brilliant reboot to a sadly too tired universe.
