I read an article claiming that j.j. abrams is going to be the next steven speilberg. i called bullshit.....then i went and saw star trek. i was literally blown away. it was fantastic. (this coming from someone who knew very little about the franchise to start off with.) this movie made me want to find the old u.s.s. enterprise toy that i had, dust it off, and play with it again...since i now know the point of it. i may be a bit bias considering i am completely in love with the 2 stars, but even so the movie was good. solid. breathtaking at times and full of lens flare. 5 stars. sorry kyle but this year its star wars ftw. the dark side did not have j.j. abrams.
