When the mastermind behind TV's LOST, Alias & Fringe, J.J. Abrams was announced as the director of the 2009 reboot of the Star Trek franchise it created quite a stir with Trek fans and Abrams fans alike.
Apart from some unforgivable flaws and changes to the universe, Abrams take on the Trek is nothing short of an entertaining ride. Highlighted with a solid story, action, humor and wonderful spot on performances (particularly from Chris Pine, Zackary Quinto and Karl Urban) the new Trek is more balls than brains.
In a time with ridiculously dark comic book movies and brainless comedy after brainless comedy, Abrams optimism and humor in Star Trek is a refreshing breath of fresh air.

3 not being a Trekkie makes it just an ok action movie out of 5.
I like how Yelchin's accent was called fake even though he is russian.
Technically it is fake.
While researching the accent, Yelchin found Walter Koenig's "Russian" accent sounded more Polish than Russian.
...but Abrams and Yelchin found it funnier that way, so they followed suit.
