DVD Review: "STAR TREK" Score A

JJ Abrams stuck gold resurrecting this lost franchise, rebooting it in the way that reboots should be done and cultivating an audience of new non-old trek fans that will most likely return for more films. Rather than rehash another trek story, this one reinvents it and brings it current and into the hands of those who really would never see this type of Sci fi. I really liked it and thought it was very well done. This is what directors should be doing with material that has existed already. They should make it new and accessable to those who normally wouldn't go near it. The casting is great. The actors all do a great job and the re-writing of the Kirk story, to how he came to be captain works so well here. The action works very well and the villians here do as well. Quinto as the new Spock works perfectly. Perhaps the only thing that could have been left out would have been Spock meeting with and having a scene with his future self. Laws of Quantum collapse could have played here when one person meets or interacts with himself... however the writers left that out. Other than that though the movie is spectacular as far F/x and as recent Sci Fi goes. Great SF/X and battles and I especially loved the new take off of the ships from dead stop to WARP! Really even if your not a Star Trek fan (which I am not) you will like this if you like Sci Fi action films.
