The re-launching of a franchise. The plot is a straight forward telling of how the crew of the Enterprise is put together. There is even an appearance by Leonard Nimoy as "old Spock", which of course means that some time travel is involved. There are few surprises here although I am sure that the Trekkies will parse each plot element for consistency with the original series. Perhaps the most interesting effect of the history provided in this installment is how that history will play out in future installments. All of the main players relationships are a new interpretation and will result in an alternate universe that is very different than the one we know. So a good mix of story telling, action, and some metaphysical thoughts about time travel. Can't really ask for more can you?
