I was actually more excited to see Wolverine but at the last minute, my friend who saw Star Trek last night pushed to go see Trek today instead and am I ever glad she did! WOW!!!!! What a great movie.....can't believe how well they managed to keep the spirit of the characters and show while re-tooling what had clearly become a moribund franchise in much the same way Batman & Superman had.
The cast was excellent - loved the byplay between Kirk & Bones - and Simon Pegg as Scotty was brilliant. (As Craig Ferguson even mentioned, finally we have a real Scot playing "Scotty"!)
To not like this movie blows my mind - it was everything you could ever ask for in an action movie AND it didn't make you hate the director for allowing it to happen (a la Eps I, II & III - yeah George Lucas, I'm talking to YOU!)
Again simply brilliant - cannot wait to go again!
(Really my only beef with anything related to the movie is that we got boned here in Calgary and can't see it in IMAX....)
