Let's get one thing right out of the way: I'm not a Trekkie. I've never seen the original show or any of the spin-offs and when it comes to the movies then I'd always felt somewhat underwhelmed (with the exception of Wrath of Khan, that film kicks ass). Now the first time that I'd actually found myself being quite blown away by Star Trek was with J.J. Abrams' 2009 Star Trek. Dumping all the heavihandedness of the source material and putting everything into overdrive was probably the best thing that could have ever happened to the franchise. I'm certainly aware that many devoted fans have complained about it not being true to the source material and dumbing it down for the mass audience but these people are forgetting one simple thing: IT'S A MOVIE, GET OVER IT! But honestly, Star Trek of the 2009 variety was a fast-paced, entertaining and completely satisfying sci-fi romp.
