I've never been a fan of Star Trek until now! I went in with no real expectations and came out loving it! I'd recommend it to those who may have previously not enjoyed any of the other Star Trek movies. It's really a prequel so you don't need to have any back story info to enjoy it. Very action-packed and surprisingly funny! Captain Kirk's personality makes the movie! And for you Heroes fans, Syler makes a GREAT Spock!!
