They've "rebooted" Star Trek. I have to say, the cast and the craft are very strong with this. I didn't find the story particularly compelling, focusing on a rogue operator of a mining space-shop using the craft's technology to kill planets because reasons. I wasn't sure that they really needed to up the stakes through such antics as wiping out Vulcan. But, I'm glad that they at least stuck to it, and didn't "find a way to reverse it" involving yet another Star Trek time travel escapade. On the whole, it's an unremarkable bit of movie-making and while certainly better than the first Star Wars prequel.
Not recommended.
