I think that J.J. Abrams did a fairly decent job with his adaptation of the original Star Trek theme and using the "alternate timeline" theory to be able to recreate the series in a fresh new way. What are your thoughts?

At first I was skeptical, especially with the time continuum reboot. We saw the first one at Disney World in 2009 and I thought it was awesome!. I still have issues with the reboot and lost back history, like JK doesn't have an older brother and the like but I thought the characterization was SPOT ON! The way these new actors captured the essence of the originals, blew me away. The best of them all, IMHO is Dr. McCoy played by Karl Urban. He so captured, the look, the attitude, everything. All in all a great job all around.

Only thing I wasn't impressed with so far were the "bus driver" dress uniforms in "Into Darkness", just Blah!

I just recently heard that JJ Abrams will not be producing the next Star Trek movie. According to the actor who plays "Scotty" in the new films JJ Abrams is busy with the new Star Wars picture. Also, there's going to be more of the original series feel to the next installment in the new Star Trek series. I hope for a more original series feel to the project. The adversarial Kirk-Spock relationship was interesting but I much rather see them working together than fighting all the time.

When I saw the first movie, I was jacked out of my mind because of the endless possibilities this crew could experience. As long as the powers-that-be don't gum it up, it should be exciting.
