I have mixed feelings about whether I'm going to go see the new Star Trek movie (May 2009), directed by Lost's J.J. Abrams. On the one hand, I'm a Star Trek fan, and I've seen all of the other Star Trek movies (even Nemesis, brrrrrr). So trekking to this one would seem like a normal thing to do.
On the other hand, I've always been annoyed at "prequels" and other attempts at "rewriting" a show's (or comic book's, for that matter) history or "canon". That's one reason I never watched the "Enterprise" TV show (the one with Scott Bakula), because I like it when a series franchise moves forward, rather than looking back. So the storyline in the new movie, in which we get to meet Kirk, Spock, etc., as they meet each other, doesn't really appeal to me.
But then again, the action scenes look pretty cool. I'm still on the fence, what do you other Trek fans think?
