Star Trek

I think Gene Roddenberry would have been proud to have inspired J.J. Abrams (Mission: Impossible III director and Alias creator) to direct this latest in a long line of Star Trek offerings (there's 11 feature films, 6 television series, dozens of computer and video games, hundreds of novels and instances of fan fiction, several fan-created video productions, as well as a themed attraction in Las Vegas Wikipedia).
Star Trek has everything you expect and more. The storyline makes sense, even including Leonard Nimoy as Spock. Young Spock, played by Zachary Quinto (from the TV series, Heroes), Chris Pine as Kirk, Karl Urban as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, Anton Yelchin as Pavel Checkov, Zoe Saldana as Uhura, Simon Pegg as Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, John Cho as Kikaru Sulu, and the new protagonist Nero played by Eric Bana, are all so Trekkie that you just have to love it! Special effects have certainly changed since Scotty first beamed up Captain Kirk on TV, as have we all since 1966. I think everyone will enjoy this film, from the convention-going, card-carrying, costume-wearing Trekkies to middle-aged, hair-graying, "I remember when" folks like me. Buy a ticket, it's worth it.
