Review

probably the best of the series, though i also like star trek 4. one of the interesting elements is that it goes back in time and alters the timeline in such a way that all the films that come after it are going to be on a different timeline than the original show and films. this is a remarkable storytelling decision because so much can happen now without being tied to what kirk et al did in all those other iterations of the original show. great move. abrams used the lens flare a bit much for my taste, but did an admirable job nonetheless. all the casting was quite good and the writing really made for an enjoyable film. recommended.
