    Whoever told you that Star Trek is a "less good version of Star Wars" has clearly never watched Star Trek as the two series' really arent anything alike. Id also argue that the Trek movies are generally more well liked than Star Wars is these days, even though they are also hit and miss in some respects. There are certainly more good Star Trek movies than there are good Star Wars movies, thats for sure.

    Nichelle Nicols, the actress who played the original Uhura in the 1960's Star Trek television series, just passed away a week ago. As an African American playing a main cast member on a television program in the 60s who was a military officer and not a slave, maid, or cheesy villain, she was a pioneer that inspired the many African Americans that would follow her footsteps into television and movies. She was admired by Martin Luther King Jr., who held her up as a role model to the black community, and a direct inspiration to Whoopi Goldberg, who would go into acting and even play a recurring role on the 80s & 90's Star Trek: The Next Generation television series. Ms. Nichols will be deeply missed.

    Just so you know, this was actually the eleventh film. And this is not meant to be comparable to Star Wars. As many have stated, you are going to be forever lost without having seen the original series, but also, this film was meant to be a reboot to begin with, thus the "alternate timeline" story established with the loss of the USS Kelvin and George Kirk's death.
    From there, the "Kelvin Timeline" (Star Trek 2009, Into Darkness, and Beyond) was born, and thus everything became fair game.

    As a geek who had swam in an ocean of Star Trek since the early 70s, its funny to see someone totally unfamiliar with Star Trek as a whole. If you have time, watch a few of the Original Series episodes this whole universe is based on. For a show made in the 1960s, it still stands up pretty good today.

    Hi Mary. It is interesting to watch the movie with somebody who doesn't know the lore and characters from the original Star Trek series. They are all new to you, some of us recognize them before they even state their names. But the same happens to me watching super hero movies, characters and lore I know from reading comic books eons ago, but all new to this generation. At the moment Nero appears from the future and changes the timeline (by killing Kirk's father and others) this timeline can be quite similar to the original series but at the same time differs in many ways. This allows the movie creators, director and writers to reference the old series but make things new and just a bit different. I think you will truly enjoy the next one. :-)
