Really nice to hear in-depth, positive reviews. From the sound of things, they did with this film exactly what I'd hoped they'd do with it - give Star Trek the depth & respect that the idea & characters deserve.

The whole thing reminds me very much of James Bond.

When Casino Royale was first announced, I was a little concerned. I've been a huge 007 nerd since 1973. I didn't really think the idea & character needed to be changed. It just needed to be brought back into focus. I had been very disappointed with the previous two films. When Casino Royale came out, I was beside myself - they'd finally made the 007 film that I'd always wanted. It instantly became the standard-bearer for me.

The very same situation looks to be presenting itself again with Star Trek. I didn't like the last two Trek films I'd seen and didn't even bother with Nemesis. However, I don't really think the idea needs to be scrapped - just a return-to-form. It certainly looks - and now sounds - as though that's what they've done.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this.
