I approached the premiere of Star Trek XI with a great deal of excitement and apprehension. The mere thought of seeing an untried cast filling the shoes of these legendary characters was almost too much to think of. Thankfully a great deal of thought went into the hiring of talented, likable and professional actors to bring to life the early days of Kirk, Spock and company. The movie was quick pace, full of the type of action sequences I think fans have been waiting decades for. My one concern is the impact of the alternate timeline created by Nero and Spock.
