This is a great movie. It is better then the TV show. It is better then the first 10 Star Trek movies. This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting. It is very fast past. It is kind of scary at times. Star Trek into darkness is better. But still this a great movie. It is one of the best movies from the last decade. See it. It is a great movie.

I was hoping that Star Trek, a science fiction adventure film, would be just as amazing as its predecessors. I wanted a feeling of nostalgia, but did not want a copy and paste of the old movies. To my surprise, it not only met my expectations, but went so far beyond them. It gave us the characters we loved but set them in a parallel world letting them set their own new journey. They gave us a younger and fresher feeling while keeping it funny and suspenseful. Everything about this new Star Trek, from the amazing directing from JJ Abrams, to the outstanding cinematography and visual effects, makes me give this movie a 10 out of 10. A rating only fit for a minuscule amount of movies. Just like all the original Star trek movies began, the new Star Trek ended the same way, with the most famous quote said by the original Spock, "Space the Final Frontier: These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before."(Star Trek 2009)

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!

The existing timeline has a huge range of possible stories. Even a minor exposure to the Star Trek novels shows this. There was no need to radically change the timeline. But, if done, radical changes like this should be with a superior storyline. But I find the whole thing to be subpar. There are terrible character motivations and development. And the sci-fi elements are horrible. As bad as some of the physics in Star Trek have been, the reboots leaves sci-fi behind and uses something like a 7 year old mentality for inspiration.
