By a freakin mile.
I'll admit to having been a skeptic on this. I was always a huge ST supporter, though mostly from the movies forward as I was too young to remember the original series much. I thought they went as far as they could in film with the franchise and that this was going to be nothing mroe than Star Trek 90210. I even skipped seeing this on the big screen. I'm an idiot.
This is so well done with little nuances and details and has what the original cast had over their TNG counterparts...heart. This film was so respectful of the original series while creating it's own reality and spin. It was strange and fun seeing Chris Pine channel Shatner every now and then. I think most of it was subconscious. Spocks' part was simply stellar.
The entire movie was a fun ride and so slick. I'd go so far as to say it's the best movie I've seen in several years. I know ST purists turn their noses up on this, but that's a mistake. Fun has returned to the Star Trek franchise. It's worth seeing in any format.
