This is an origins/reboot of the upstart James Tiberius Kirk and friends in an alternative timeline. Clear? lol. The movie starts with the temporal shift and the birth of Kirk. It bounces back and forth between Kirk and Spock with the other characters being introduced as the story moves forward. I enjoyed this movie. All the new players are great in their roles, especially Spock and Scotty. Zachary Quinto really nails the Spock character and improves on it. The one downside unfortunately is the inclusion of Leonard Nimoy as Spock Prime. But its not so bad that it destroys more than a couple scenes. This is a movie that could have benefited from another 30 to 40 minutes as some of it was a bit rushed. You don't have to be a Trek fan to enjoy this, but hardcore trekkers may take issue. I'm kind of excited and look forward to a second movie from this bunch. Recommended.
