A good prequel for the series it follows the origins and identities of Kirk, Spock, Uhuru, Checkov and Sulu in an alternate universe transformed by the future. The actors bear an uncanny resemblance to the old gang and are loose and comfortable in front of the cameras in ways the older group never was. Nimoy makes an appearance as Old Spock, but oh do I miss Shatner’s overacting. Most critics raved about this We enjoyed it a lot with its fun conceits and silly references to the series, but it’s still cotton candy fluff.
