The first leg of the USS Enterprise's five year mission takes them into uncharted territory. There the Enterprise is nearly destroyed and strands Kirk and his crew on a remote planet with no means of communication. Kirk must then work with the elements to reunite his crew and get back to Earth.
There are some actor greats here, and quite a lot of surprises. You can feel Lin's touch, but he didn't overdo it. You can also see Peg's influence on the script, which, in my opinions, has been very positive.
There are some emotional scenes, characters are coming into their own. There are some winks to fans of the series. I like both the series, old movies and rebooted movies and am looking forward to the new TV show. This movie is definitely the step in the right direction for the franchise.
Plan to see this several time and am already looking forward to Star Trek 4.
