A heart warming show with just enough tweaking and added novelty to refresh the palette without destroying internal consistency with the past.The actors were well chosen. The villain and his ship are perfectly evil. The gizmos and applied imagination are outstanding. Humor was added in the right places. The music and sounds enhance the experience, intensely. And it was good to see Christopher Pike out of his wheel chair again.
But Spock and Uhura ? What is that about ?
What fun ! Well done ! Encore !
A brief note to Roger 2 1/2* Ebert - Why are you bothering to question warp speed and time travel and all those other action scenes that inanely bothered you ? Star Trek is built upon premise - warp speed, dilithium crystals, molecular transportation, et al. More importantly, it is built on the possibility that anything is possible - even something as ridiculous as time travel. The fact that it often skims the surface of actual technical theory should make no difference. As an entertainment delivery mechanism that incorporates fantasy, it is no different than Spiderman's endless supply of goo coming out of his palms? or the Absent Minded professor's flubber - and in so many ways, superior. So, get over it. Roger, roger ?
