Kirk is a bad-ass.

Spock is awesome.

UHURA IS HOT!

Star Trek is beautiful.

J.J. Abrams has done it again! Energizing new blood into this flick for a whole new generation, while staying true to the fans that have grown over the generations loyal and devoted to this beloved series is, as Scotty put it in the movie, "like hitting a bullet, with a smaller bullet, whilst blindfolded, riding a horse."

But Abrams has done. HE HAD DONE EET!!!

Friends and deviants, this movie is beautiful. Incredible. Simply well done. There are nuances all over the flick that are shout-outs to the fans of the original series, while the narrative is tight and so well done that the casual moviegoing public won't get lost in a sea of technobabble and science jargon while following the plot. The cast is an amazing ensemble, and all their storylines and relationships are handled masterfully by great writing at the hands of who I deem to be Hollywood's great new power-writing team, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. At the helm is geek-god J.J. Abrams, slickly polishing this series with incredible effects, spectacular space battles, and so much oomph and grandeur. This may be an origin story, a prequel, or a backstory, but it is one of the best damed pulled-off backstories in cinematic history. It trounces Origins: Wolverine in the face. Go snikt yourself in the ass, Wolvie; I'll see you adamantium claws and raise you a warp engine full of dylithium crystals and a full bank of photon torpedoes!

Watch it, watch it, watch it. You don't have to be a Trekkie, geek, or whatever to not be able to enjoy this film. It is lush, beautiful, a popcorn extravaganza juiced up by loving creators, hand-delivered on a silver plat for an intelligent, but entertainment-seeking moviegoing audience. This is simply incredible.

To boldly go where no man has gone before.
