Outrageously fantastic acting and character focus really make this movie come off the screen. Pine is perfect as Kirk and without ruining the moment you rediscover Scotty, prepare to laugh and be thrilled with how these familiar characters find new life in this movie. The homage to series iconic moments, such as Kirk in bed with an alien tie the original characters with their new stewards seamlessly. The changes in the Star Trek timeline were slightly upsetting, but was ingenius and does provide an avenue for an entirely fresh franchise. I will go see this in the theatre again & I've never done that.
