JarJar Assbrams! Stop this!I have NO Idea what StarTrek is You have NO Idea, what Physiks ist and you have NO plan, what you can do in Space, and what NOT! Idiot!

I didn't much enjoy The Original Series with William Shatner, but I thought this film was brilliant. How they devised the 'alternate reality' was ingenious as it leaves all of the original TV series' and films intact and is the writers way of nodding with respect to everything that had come before.I think it allows people, like me, who did not grow up with The Original Series on TV to begin appreciating Star Trek where just watching Shatners series on DVD would not give the same energy as it had.

I wasn't a huge fan of Star Trek growing up though I did watch some episodes of The Next Generation in the early 1990s. I also played the graphic adventure game entitled 25th Anniversary and won it. I'd only seen parts of the feature films and a little of Generations but this was the first Star Trek movie I enjoyed. Sure, it's a reboot but a fun reboot and it's one of my favorite remakes along with 1999's The Mummy. All-new cast and more background for Kirk and the rest of the gang, and they pulled it off splendidly. Because of this movie, I'm now a Star Trek fan though I'm not a huge fan but I will watch episodes of The Next Generation and as of now I've watched the first four feature films. My favorite sci-fi features now are Star Wars (my number one), Star Trek (which puts the "science" in science-fiction), StarGate (which mixes history and mythology with sci-fi), and finally StarCraft (Blizzard's major sci-fi game franchise). JJ Abrams, you did it!

I liked where the new films have gone with Star Trek. I think the time had come for a bit of change in direction and format!
