Coming from a biased source, I really enjoyed the newest edition of the Star Trek universe. The movie had a bunch of tie-ins with the last Star Trek from J.J Abrams as well as with the TOS (The Original Series). The tie-ins mostly were sayings from the older movies or connections through names to the other character as well. Knowing these connections made the movie more enjoyable for me. I had to explain some of these to Michelle so that she would understand some of the small things. Though Michelle missed some of the references she still had a good time. I think knowing them makes the movie a 9/10 rather than an 8/10. I'm looking forward to seeing this one again. There are a few reviews that floated around talking about plot problems. I didn't read any reviews so I don't know what plot holes they saw with it, but there was one part in the movie that seemed like the writers cheated, to make the story work...well maybe two places, but that's not important, the show was fun and a great flick. Skip the 3D though; there is only really one scene where you need the 3D to make you jump in your seats.
P.S. Did I do okay writing this review?
