No spoilers, I promise

SC and I flew the "Peephole" flag at Greater Union George St for the Paramount media preview of "Star Trek". Wary of detracting from your potential enjoyment, I'll keep my comments general. Tremendous fun! (That general enough for ya?) While flouting "S/T" conventions and introducing mainstream elements that shouldn't work yet do, JJ Abrams and co. have given the franchise an energy it always lacked, nudging it nearer to "Star Wars". In the hyoooge VMAX 1 theatre (formerly the GMAX 1 theatre - go figure), the eye and ear candy were unceasingly awesome. Sure, segments of the storyline are dumb, but they're never boring and a clever plot twist allows all of the changes in this version to be rationalised. Personally, I can't wait for the Enterprise crew's next mission - and that's not something I said after any of the earlier movies.
