With the new film being released, I wanted to go back and review the films made with the original cast. Nice additions include the interviews and Star Fleet background spots, but above all I enjoyed the Captain's summit with all of Shatner, Nimoy, Stewart and Frakes getting peppered questions relating experiences by host Whoppi Goldberg, who seemed equally thrilled to chair the event. Good stuff, and the summit makes a nice bridge to the Next Generation collection.
The future begins with director J.J. Abrams' reimagining of Star Trek that has taken audiences by storm. When the Romulan Nero comes from the future to take revenge on the Federation, the new recruits of the U.S.S. Enterprise will voyage through unimaginable danger to stop him from destroying everything they know. This is not your father's Star Trek!

Unbelievably good job of casting new faces to old characters, and a plot that returns an old face to connect the dots with the new. A bold beginning that offers a balance of up-tempo plot without a loss of character development, so good it will leave you eagerly anticipating Abrams next foray with this cast and crew. Definitely left the pace of the 1st Star Trek film in the dust with the opening sequence.
