Much ink has already been spilled on the topic, but IMHO I think the casting was stellar, the character interactions wonderful, and the story compelling. All right, there is probably some stuff there the diehards can nitpick, if that's what gives them fluffy bunnies. I have been a fan of ST going way back, and I thought the movie was respectful of the characters while placing them in a situation that will allow them to grow and develop in a fresh direction for a new generation of fans.
No arguments there actually. I think even if it's sacrilege I prefer this cast and these characterizations to the original and I think this reset has a lot of potential in a series. I did feel emotionally distanced somehow though, so I can't quite give it the raves some (even diehard fans) have--and I thought the Cadet-to-Captain thing lame. Great ride though.
