This gave a whole new dimension to the characters we've all come to know over the years. Some die hard Trekkies probably won't like the way the plot develops but we have to realize that the movie studio is trying to appeal to a current audience. Given that I think the story line stays pretty true to the Star Trek saga. And of course the fact that Leonard Nimoy is in the movie also boost the credibility. Overall this is just a good movie that all would enjoy in my humble opinion.
