I was a little sketipcial on Star Trek trying to revive Captain Kirk and starting from his youth and retelling the story. I was confused for the first half of the movie as a lot of the information was in conflict with the origional series. Then with a Vulcan mind meld, it all came together. With the changing of history by the Romulin vessel, all things came together and there is a promise for a brand new series of movies. Whill JJ is no Shatner, he played the character well and I look forward to more voyages and maybe they should think about using this cast to revive Kirk all over again on the small screen?
If you get a chance to see it, trekkie or not, I highly recommend it.
