I must say that the characters were impeccably depicted. I loved the use of comments they'd always used in past episodes, seeing how Commander Pike lost the use of his legs, and typical expressions that only those characters would use. I am excited that there will be more of these movies, and am hoping that even though James Kirk died in one of the movies, that he can come back during that time when he was in the NEXXUS to participate in one of the movies. It was great to see Spock (the original) featured in the movie. This movie is one you won't want to miss if you've watched Star Trek ever since the '70s. HIGHEST RATING - SOOOOO GOOD!
