I went into this movie expecting great things, but wow, I didn't expect it to be as amazing as it was. I am a big fan of Abrams's other work and he did not disappoint.
The cast (especially Bones) is spot on, while adding their own spins on the characters. The story is great and the film, quite literally, never lets up.
This is a great service to fans of the shows and old films, yet it is completely accessible to newcomers (even friends who "hate sci-fi").
