I haven't seen the original Star Trek but it has a reputation for being heavy on the technobabble and continuity lockout. This film is an attempt to remake it closer to a traditional Hollywood blockbuster and it works. It is easy to follow and full of exciting action, though I can't compare it with the original.

Boldly going where no man (or woman or non-binary) has gone before, climb aboard the Enterprise and let it fly and soar, as old friends gather, reunite, off to battle and to fight, strange new worlds, civilisations to explore.

A vengeful Romulan sets the scene, he's racing from the future to what's been, with a Vulcan on his tail, then a starship setting sail, past events are overwritten, unforeseen.

Aside from Simon Pegg being the worst incarnation of Mr. Scott imaginable, with an accent unrecognisable, this is a spectacular regeneration that could have been phenomenal if some elements weren't so incredibly hard to swallow and particularly controversial.

Before analyzing Star Trek, a few words: In the theater, skeptically, I waited for it to begin. Within minutes, I felt time-warped! A little kid, mesmerized by Forbidden Planet; a teenager, totally awed by 2001; a young adult, blown away by Star Wars! If you don't like this Star Trek, do yourself a favor: forget about the Sci-Fi/Action genre for life!

O. KWhere to begin? On almost every imaginable level, Star Trek really works! Solid character development, well, at least for this genre. Stunning, imaginative, cleverly original and, at times, even dazzlingly artistic special effects. An intensely engaging story-line, that manages to pay homage to all that has gone before, but, at the same time presents multi- faceted character and plot elements few of us could have imagined beforehand.

Let's just say there is something in this for everyone! So, without any spoilers, (Well, maybe an extremely MINOR SPOILER.....!) Glimpses of Kirk & Spock in their youth, both rebellious in different ways. Hints of romance between major characters, previously unsuspected. Kirk & Spock starting out as rivals, but becoming friends as a result of an ingenious plot twist! Extremely well-conceived & orchestrated action sequences will make you feel as if you'd been catapulted into hyper-drive! Whether or not you liked Star Trek in the past, you MUST treat yourself to this experience!
