I'm 30, I went to see it with my Dad, 56 and my wife, 22 (yea, I know...) and we all loved it. I have been a huge trekkie since I can remember since my dad watched the original when it first aired. Regardless of all that, this movie was most definitely a Star Trek movie and a good one, at that.Don't try to convince us that your imaginary boundaries and prior nostalgic notions are what makes a Star Trek movie.

One could say the same with Star Wars and The Hidden FortressAnd Harry Potter and LotR (Horcrux=Ring, Gandalf=Dumbledore, etc.)Great things always take from other great things. If it's good, it's good.

Uh, it's the Hero's Journey. It's pretty much a universal theme. Don't they rerun Joseph Campbell anymore?

If Spock is like Solo, then Leia would be Uhura. Which makes Kirk and Uhura brother and sister... cool!

f**k you ,f**k you, f**k you. Star Trek rips off Star Wars but star wars ripped off Dune a long long time ago. Dune is king and always will be .

This is nothing new it's an age old story format called the Heroes Journey. Around long before films were. Think Harry Potter etc.
