Review:
Well, I was watching with 3 Trekkies, so you cannot fault me for feeling a little apprehensive. Naturally, I am a huge fan of Sci-Fi, hence I would be ok with going for the movie. But I did think that there would be parts that would go "Whoosh" over my head.

Verdict? Surprisingly entertaining. Okay for non-Trekkie fans to watch, since the plot was easy to follow, there were twists which to me I thought was GREAT! :) Hero doesn't always get the girl, just for that, they get extra cookie points from me. :P

So, it is a show that I thought was worth watching, and which I wouldn't mind re-watching if it shows on TV. Go catch it!
