This popcorn movie-movie is particularly fun if, as I, you never really liked the show(s). Especially the original. Especially if you were/are sick to death of all the TREKKKKKIES going on and on and on about all the backstories, upstories, downstories, and blahblahblah. It's a fun flick in its own right. The cast is energetic and kinda charming...and for the most part, better actors than Shatner and Co. So DON'T let your Trekkie pals tell you that you're "not really getting it" because you don't know the old details. You'll have a good time. The sfx are about a "7".
