I have been a Star Trek fan ever since I was a child watching the old TV series. I greatly enjoyed this movie and rank it ahead of Wrath of Kahn. The story does not detract from the original movie by following a different timeline. The actors did a superb job of matching the original wit of the original cast. This is a must own movie and you will not be disappointed
What's great about it: Good plot, excellent acting

I downloaded the demo on my PS3 and have played the one level quite a few times. The ability to pick up and throw just about every thing you see is great. I played around with the different light saber moves, you have many different forms of attack. If the full version is anything like the demo, this will be one of the best Star Wars games. The graphics and the AI are great so far. I have already recommended the demo to friends (they enjoyed it also). THis is a MUST buy and I'm counting down the days until release.
What's great about it: ability to move just about every object
What's not so great: none until I play the full version
