I'd never watched anything of Star Trek, so I had no expectations when I went to the movies, but this one really surprised me. The facts shown happened before everything that people know about the series, which means it's like an explanation of the original Star Trek. This may explain why people that have never watched Star Trek before like this movie. The two hours passes through very quickly, the action really catches your attention and the story itself demands you some thinking, what brings you totally into the movie. The special effects are perfect, the acting is convincing (even Zachary Quinto's... it's almost impossible not to remember Sylar, but he did a great job) and the end is predictable, but also gripping. I highly recommend this to anyone that likes action gathered with a well planned plot. And of course, to all the old fans of the 60's series.
