Bravo and kudos all around- J.J. Abrams has taken the fetid clay of a rotting entertainment franchise and fashioned a breathtaking, stand-alone, beautiful film.
It is not only the visual, non-stop cinematic intrepidness of this enterprise, but the glorious production value, the actors who you truly feel researched and understood the nuances of the Star Trek story as well as their individual character(s), and the experienced editing/sound quality that contribute to this film's greatness.
It will be very hard to top. Hopefully this isn't the capstone of Roddenberry's intellectual brainchild, but it certainly may be...ROUNDS OF LOUD, LOUD APPLAUSE! The creators and visionaries and consumers of science fictional exploration would be, and are, very proud.
