Fwiw, not a trekkie or trekker, but I did enjoy the original series back in the day. (1966 - 1968) It was ground breaking television for its time.

movie disclaimer: 'haven't seen it. Probably, I will wait until dvd/blu-ray, if I even bother then. With regard to reviews of this current movie, I would have hoped for better.

re: Abrams. I can't say I'm a huge JJ Abrams fan. Nor a critic. And I thought the 2009 Star Trek was kind of fun if not hugely impressive. There was a light heartedness to it, even though a revered planet within the Star Trek universe had been destroyed. There was a comic/frantic quality to the whole adventure that seemed to keep the movie galloping along from opening to end.

But now, maybe, I would like to see what Joss Whedon (as director) might do with an installment of this franchise using the same cast.
