But that's about the only ding Abrams' second Star Trek deserves, not counting its cheerful cheesiness, without which it wouldn't be Star Trek. It's got all the virtues of Abrams' "Star Trek reboot":http://www.viewguide.com/movie_review… |

Most of these touchstones get fresh visits in the new movie. More popcorn than pop culture, this new incarnation works for newbies and Trekkies alike. Credit this to Roddenberry… |
