The “New” Star Trek Movie

We went to the new Star Trek Movie Last night. Two thumbs up, As being a fan from the television days I was both excited and skeptical of the this remake of the series. It was really a rebirth of the series, I should think that there will be a long string of movies based on these younger actor that they found to play the parts. They really got the old characters down very good. "It's a true reset to the franchise, and honors everything Roddenberry did with the original series, yet sets everything up for completely new stories. The characters we know and love are there, and some of the surprising casting worked amazingly well. Chris Pine does an outstanding job as a younger Kirk, paying homage to Shatner yet making the role completely his own. He's not alone; all the primary characters are revitalized. The only fault was with some of the story line, and they could have spent a lot more on the CGI effects.
