This was an excellent very entertaing movie. It stays true to the characters of the original Star Trek charters. It speaks perfectly to how you would imagine a young Kirk and McCoy would be. It is a perfect Prequel and yet if you never folowed the original Star Trek you would find it immensely enteraining and develop a love for the characters. I loved how the director paid homage to the first Star Trek TV episode with the character of Captain Christopher Pike. For die hard Star Trek fans like myself the only thing I had difficulty with was the bald heaeded Romulans. They did not look enough like they were related to Vucans.
