Very rarely does a film and a director re-invent a genre, creating a new story that is so utterly consistent with the original story to leave you breathless with the audacity and the vision.
And I will contend, I have never seen a story teller re-invent the story in a way that is utterly and completely totally consistent with the original story.
JJ Abrams may, over time, deliver a crappy series, and the rest of his Star Trek movies may suck, but this movie will remain a magical moment in the history of story telling.
