Great reboot to kick off the summer season.

Summer is a time when new fans of old thing are born. I have never once in my life seen a single episode of Star Trek in my life. But being the pop culture powerhouse that it is, I know all the characters, the famous quotes ("Live long a prosper" etc.) , and of course the instantly recognizable space craft, Enterprise. I have never really been too exposed to Star Trek, as I said before, so when I heard of the movie coming out I immediatley dismissed it as another failed attempt tp reboot a series that will only appeal to fans of the original, but I tell you hear this reboot is the most vivid, and exciting reboot to come along yet. The actors hit their marks with obscene precision, and director J.J. Abrams succeeds with flying colors in making this not only a fan's films, but 100% accessible to people like me who have never had much use for the series. The action is fast-paced and will persuade you to the edge of your seat, then knocking you flat on your ass when you least expect it, and surprsingly enough the characters are deep and fleshed out enough that you will care deeply for them when it is necessary. By the there will be cheers, and applauds. The action is fast, the story in engaging and there will not be a better movie this summer. Mark my words.
