Star Trek (2009)

J. J. Abrams was given the task of kick starting the Star Trek franchise and he's done it. Good story, good acting, good direction, good movie. Now Abrams likes that shaky/jerky image during the action scenes that that become the norm recently. they make my head ache, but that overwhelmed by the good stuff. All the main characters get their bits and this is revisionist but there is a reason for it that works. Well the plot twist works. The other reason is too start fresh you need to kick forty years of history to the curb and this twist allows and does that without dishonoring what has gone before. Hell, I wanted to sit through it again.
