I finally got the chance to watch the newest Star Trek movie – and it is sweet!
The way they introduced the characters while keeping the basic personality of each one was awesome. By the end of the movie, I was jumping up and down in my seat trying to maintain a Vulcan-like appearance (which didn’t happen…) I was unsure whether I would actually enjoy the new Star Trek movie but it was incredible. It was full of action and aliens – just what I like in a movie!


There was one sad part about the film: my mental lack of Star Trek trivia…..

Sigh…there used to be a day when I could of rattled off all the captains of the Enterprise in order along with what ship they served on…but sadly, that day has long past. As you can probably tell, I’ve been a Star Trek fan for a long wile now!

This lose of memory meant that I had to look up the finer points of the Star Trek cannon in order to figure out if this movie created a new timeline or if it maintained the old one. The short answer is that Star Trek: 11 re-creates the entire franchise.

The writers are no longer tried to the timeline of the TV shows or the pervious movies. This can be good as they are now free to make more movies within the Star Trek universe (which would be cool!). However, this new timeline also marks a change in the franchise as previous time travel episodes did not change history (at least this dramatically).

Oh well, the fact still remains that the newest Star Trek movie rocked!  If you haven’t seen it yet, do so ‘cause you will not be disappointed.
