Star Trek (XI?)

A bunch of us went out to see the JJ Abrams version of Trek. I liked it a lot. Some of the people they got for the classic characters were spot on (Karl Urban as Bones was particularly great). The cinematography was sweet, the effects were cool and the pacing relentless (I remember when that was said about Terminator 2 and shudder to think what it'll be like in 20 years). The story about Kirk and company's start in Starfleet on the one hand was not quite like the original movies but decidedly less preachy than Next Gen. It will be interesting to see how it holds up on future viewings. I think it will.
