J.J. Abrams has done the impossible. He's captured the basic feel of the Original Star Trek crew characters while creating a whole new look . In so doing, he's created at fantastic movie that appeals to both hard-core Trekkers like myself, and to newbies like my daughter. While there were a few minor changes in the persona of some characters from the original series, these can be explained by the fact that this is a "prequel", and also by the time altering events in the plot. The action sequences were superb, and well worth extra price to see them in IMAX. I highly recommend this movie to everyone, whether you're a fan of Star Trek or completely new to the series. Well done, J.J. Abrams!
