This film shattered all expectations. JJ, the writers and the cast, really did their homework and it paid off. Attention to detail was paid. Lines from the previous films and television series made it familiar and relevant. Creating an alternate reality, allows for all-new adventures incorporating characters we love. Chris & Zach expertly recreated the chemistry of Kirk and Spock but still created something entirely new. I loved this movie saw it twice. May see it again. But my favorite inside joke was having Kirk, Sulu and a guy in red, head down to the planet, knowing the guy in red was never coming back. Just like in the TOS. Well done...all involved.
