I found the new Star Trek movie a great addition to the franchise. Lots of action, plot twists and just enough humor to keep things moving along. The only things I didn't care for were the changes in the engine room configuration (where is the warp drive?) and the command deck (looked like something out of Stargate SG-1 with all the transparent vertical display panels). Most of the actors played their roles believably, though the future with no planet Vulcan is not the universe we know and love.
