And we weren't sorry. The new Star Trek movie was actually WORTH the blatant highway robbery they call "ticket prices" these days. The cast was well chosen and the effects were incredible but more importantly, the writers and actors made the characters real and gave them strong emotional bases and multiple dimensions. From the very first sequence with Captain Kirk's father to the end of the film, you find yourself caring about the characters. Good stories are hard to come by in Hollywood films and it was a HUGE surprise to find one in what would usually be a passable summer effects-driven space romp. Kudos to J.J. Abrams, the writers, the actors and the entire team. And if you didn't catch J.J. Abrams as the guest editor in Wired, you missed out!
