I, like many other people, am a rather large fan of the Star Trek series. The original series that I got into was The Next Generation. For a TV series it had pretty amazing writing and acting. I guess that’s why they were able to make a few good movies with those actors. The Next Generation Star Trek cast was not the only ones that I liked though. I am definitely also a fan of the original series and movies. The Wrath of Khan is still one of my favorite Star Trek movies.
All that said. The new Star Trek movie has brought new life into the series. 
I think the creators of this movie really thought about how to make it appeal to a whole new audience. I found that the movie gave homage to the original but still became a new being.
The opening sequence is by far one of the more dramatic that I’ve seen. You are immediately brought into the story and care about the characters. This is pretty rare for a movie to accomplish in the first 10 minutes. I don’t want to give more away about the storyline for those who haven’t seen it yet. I would definitely recommend this movie. I have already seen it twice and will probably see it again.
