J. J. Abrams and crew had their own no-win scenario to beat in making a Star Trek movie starring the "original series" crew that neither descends into self-parody nor fails to deliver an active, engaging, and fun movie experience. And to set it up so that the established Trek canon is a help and not a hinderance to future sequels is a master stroke. This film is a delight both to old Trekkies and those who will be Trekkies when they leave the theatre!
