Wow! I applaud the writing and directing on this film for staying so true to the old story lines. That aside the movie stands alone for anyone who didn't grow up with Kirk and Spock and their subtle life lessons. The actor playing James Tiberius Kirk did an AMAZING job studying Shatner's quirks, body language, and intonations. I think he even must have studied Denny Crane's character from Boston Legal for that renegade no holds barred flirtatious attitude. Boomers, don't miss this film!
