The movie tracks the story lines from the original TV series faithfully. The story carries the movie, and not just the special effects. Probably the best Star Trek movie yet.
Very entertaining, well worth the time and money, even for a non SciFi/Fantasy fan. Robert Downey, Jr. was excellent, and continues to prove himself as an actor. Gwyneth Paltrow was very good. If the movie had a shortcoming it was that there could have been more of her, developed her character further.
