This was without a doubt the best Star Trek movie made. Its added action sequences brought new life to what was primarily a character driver series. The addition of the space battles will pull in more of an audience. Further more, the tying in of this with the other movies was brilliant. There wasn't a question left hanging. Watching Nemoy once again play the favorite of Spock was memorable and touching. This story allows for more movies to be written from here.
Movie was a glorified Discovery Chaannel program (Blue Planet anyone...). Good, but we go to the movies for spectacular. With that said - it did contain phenomenal photography which was enjoyable in itself.
