Despite my admiration for JJ Abrams work, I was understandably skeptical of his ability to top his first reimagining of the Star Trek universe. His subtle nods to the original universe's narrative and timeline, while constantly twisting them in unexpected and clever ways, has made this story fresh and exciting.
Both his first and second Star Trek movies are excellent additions to the pantheon, and also serve as solid vehicles to introduce the universe to those who never spent time in the original.
Pros great story
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Apparently in the future, if you see a Terminator, you're required to shout out its model number and then run around in circles in a panic while it guns you down. It definitely wasn't the best of the Terminator series, but also not the worst. The cinematography and special effects were stunning, but the plotting and character development left a lot to be desired -- the story seemed like one long string of special effects. All in all, though, this movie seems to exists only to set the stage for more Terminator movies.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
