There's something fascinating about origin stories. Star Trek is a sort of origin story done well. Having read the comic book lead-in to the film, it was a bit disappointing that they weren't able to work in an Enterprise E cameo. It would have also been nice if they used some Jerry Goldsmith score. Maybe it'll eventually be reinvented in the new timeline, and likely sequels given that this Trek franchise reboot is sure to be successful. Kudos to Paramount for finally funding Star Trek with a blockbuster budget, and putting it in the care of the capable production talent it deserves.
