Two brave actors boldly playing infinitely parodied characters.As with Transformers, Messrs. Orci & Kurtzman churn up a screenplay that is less concerned about coherence and consistency than the need to evoke artificial energy to entertain Generation ADD. J.J. Abrams directs. Pine, Quinto et. al. are superb as their respective characters.
Not a fan of Star Trek? No matter, this is a movie with almost universal appeal to said Generation. Cue shaky space camera (someone's been watching too much Battlestar Galactica), haha jokes, planetary destruction (After Star Wars, already getting old), lasers and lens flare.
Trekkie purists will rage, your buddies will gasp in delight and if I see the same formula being repeated with Revenge of the Fallen I will flip.
