JJ Abrams imaginatively reworked the Star Trek mythology into a fun, action-packed two hours +. Even worked in references to the fact that this is an alternative timeline, so the hardcore fan doesn't need to worry that "his/her Trek" is gone, just reimagined. Enjoyed it as such, though the villian was a bit two-dimensional, which is what a non-fan like Abrams might see as typical in ST, but of course isn't. The test will come when he tries to follow up. Trek was still about ideas and relationships as well as quantum torpedos and Klingons. Let's see if he can do it right when that becomes hard to do. FYI: Fan since 1966. No basement living for this Trekker... Hot Girlfriend too!
