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!

I am also A REAL FIRST GENERATION TREKKER. If Berman was able to make 4 series and 10 movies without a continuity issue, than so was JJ. He took the characters and a general picture of Star Trek and then created a new Star Trek universe. There are certain lines you just don't cross. Follow the new timeline...Vulcan destroyed...Spock's katra can't be rejoined in 3rd movie so he is dead...Spock now dead, there is now way to go get the whales in 4th movie and earth is destroyed...Tuvok never born so Janeway was never saved and is dead....and on and on!!!! "Scotty, Beam me out of here!!" The best part of the movie is that it was released around the holidays. Now I can "Re-gift" the dvd. Live Long and Prosper....oh yeah...not on Vulcan!!!!

Rick Berman managed to produce 10 movies and 4 series. He created a universe that had continuity. With this movie, it has all been lost. Vulcan being destroyed affects so many plots, the Star Trek universe is destroyed. I respect JJ's other projects and I am a fan of his work. I wish he would have worked within the established timeline. I am a trekkie and have watched the movie twice. I will NOT watch it again. Live Long and Prosper,...oh yeah...just not on Vulcan!
What's great about it: The acting and special effects
