This is not your father's/mother's/uncle's Star Trek.

Fantastic fun. Extremely well written and directed, this can be the first blockbuster Star Trek ever. It engages the casual and hard core audiences, with enough introductory exposition as well as well timed release of Trek catchphrases. The cast is excellent, particularly those who have the heavy burden of resurrecting the famous crew on deck. The post-pro crew did very well (seamless and gorgeous VFX, amazingly creative SFX, spot-on editing and wonderful score by Michael Giacchino) but the pre-pro crew can't be ignored for creating a cohesive Trek look. Once you've watched the film, you'll understand why this is not a reboot but a re-imagining.

Running time is 2.06. No coda.
