Star Trek has plenty to go around for fans and novices alike. The cast is perfect and the storyline is entertaining, with background information about classic TV characters we never knew before. Furthermore, the plot allows Abrams and company to reinvent the future exploits of the crew of the Enterprise because villain Captain Nero has traveled back through time and changed their past; Abrams is not bound by the chronology of the exploits of the original TV series, which this "prequel" predates. The timeline has been changed; space is the limit. Abrams has saved the Star Trek franchise and has room to maneuver to keep it fresh for this generation.
