I am a big fan of the original series and I hated all the wussy spinoffs. Only a very few of the movies were any good most notably the second and the fourth.
This reboot is the movie TOS lovers have been waiting for. Kirk is back and gone is the PC crowd which was killing the franchise. Field promotions are the order of the day as is fighting for what you believe in. I saw it on IMAX and then at a regular theater and I am amazing at how much more vivid IMAX is. This is a remake and should lead to decent Movies and series which Gene would like. The casting was about perfect. Long live Star Trek !
