I guess you'd have to call it a prequel cause you see how they start out, at least in this version of reality. I don't want to give away any spoilers so I'll just talk about the film in general terms.

1. I loved it. As a guy who saw ST Original in "real time", I can say that this effin film rules. They get it right and the the story and character development drive the film NOT Special Effects.

2. Despite the cast being pimple faced kids they totally owned their characters.

3. Interesting that you see the bowels of the Enterprise and they look surprisingly "functional" for a change. There's pipes and pumps and stairs and junk. People die in copius amounts.

4. Sound was excellent. See this in Imax or on in the theatre. Small screen no good.. big screen GOOD.

5. I'll probably see it again this weekend, it's THAT good.
