Star Trek Movie Script Review

A positive review? Whoever wrote that is clearly a studio plant and is being bribed by Abrams/Paramount to generate good word of mouth. I find this surprisingly petty of Abrams/Paramount and now consider them hopeless.
 
Though I don't pay too much attention to reviews and tend to trust just my own eyes and the eyes of a few people I know, I certainly hope you are correct and it has all translated well on the screen.

We'll see soon...

It’s a story that communicates everything we’ve loved about Trek, to the masses who could never quite fathom why we loved it; it is, in almost every way, the Star Trek movie we’ve been waiting for.
 
That was some awesome review! Dig the man's comments about continuity!

Gotta wonder if the die-hard fans will grok it?
 
I can't wait to see Gary Mitchell, Finnigan, and the penis rock on the big screen.

Because those are why we got into Trek, and if this movie is showing non-fans why Trek is cool, it must logically have those things.

Nice review, btw.
 
Thanks for the review! This part especially piqued my interest...

It constructs a deceptively elegant device to leave in place all that has gone before, while striking off in a bold new direction. It’s a fresh coat of paint on the ship that we’re all already familiar and comfortable with.

There is indeed a moment in the script—I won’t say what it is, even though it’s already been leaked and widely discussed, since I promised no spoilers—that indelibly marks this as a new continuity; it’s sure to be controversial among the fans, but it’s not a cheap stunt or way of dismissing the old stories. It’s the story’s way of cementing a new identity all its own.
