The eleventh Star Trek is off and running a 95% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.  Didn’t expect this from a J.J. Abrams film.  This is the guy who single handedly left fans of the Mission Impossible series screaming re-start, and so for a while fans of the Star Trek brand were thinking:  He’s going to feature Kirk drinking spritzers with Sydney Bristow in Manhattan when the monsters come out.  For fans of Alias and Cloverfield you should be chuckling at this point.

Well, the very good news is that Star Trek, which premiered May 7 in Korea, is off to a good start with new actors playing old characters when they were young, while supported by a solid script, story, and breathtaking visuals. 

Abrams came to Seoul recently and described in a press conference that he made the movie not for fans, necessarily, but for future fans of Star Trek (watch video clip).
