As a long-time Trek fan (15+ years), I really didn’t go into this expecting much. What I got was a wonderful film with beautiful special effects, an exciting (and suspenseful) story, and faithful homages to the characters I dearly love. All of the actors were excellent, and I don’t think I could have asked for more from Pine (Kirk) and Quinto (Spock), who wound up having incredible chemistry (although as a K/S shipper, not the kind I hoped ;) ).

While I’m sad that my favorite series is getting a reboot and not continuing from the storyline I’ve absorbed over the years, I look forward to the sequels and what else Abrams would like to reinterpret. In the meantime, I am going to go see this again and again until I can get it on DVD. :D
