New Star Trek movie

Now that it's out for home viewing, what's the verdict?

I thought it was mostly huge fun and was surprised that they actually got Kirk right. Because original Trek doesn't work without that Kirk-style energy.

The best part is now my kids are all Star Trek fans, even the teenage daughter who wasn't interested before.

I liked seeing how the different actors had new takes on the roles. They did pretty well in casting, I think.

I was pleasantly surprised, because I usually can't get over the cheap stink of Hollywood Blockbuster. Only the opening scene where young Kirk has a chase scene in a classic muscle car made me think, "Oh no, here comes another Michael Bay crapshow."

And I usually dislike time-travel stories too. Granted, this one had it's huge gaping holes... but it was so well done otherwise that I did accept the suspension of disbelief necessary to swallow the plot.
