I grew up watching the original series. To me the only Star Trek is with Kirk, Spock, Bones, etc. When I first heard that they recast and were doing a reboot, I was excited. The movie doesn't disappoint either. It brings Trek into the current day without compromising it's roots. The casting for the most part was solid. My favorites were Bones and Chekov. Bones' mannerisms were spot on. The movie is a high octaine Star Trek. Now my kids can apreciate Star Trek like I did when I was a kid. I look forward to where they go from here. I will probably see it again before the summer ends.
