Star Trek

d/JJ Abrams

This took the franchise back to the beginning of the Enterprise and the crew we all know and love(?). Fast-paced, noisy and slick with lots of CGI and stunts that went waaaay beyond possible. For some reason none of the flaws mattered...we all knew these characters would survive (a big drawback to the set-up) and it was kinda fun seeing how they incorporated known facts.

It helped that the new Kirk was much more appealing than Shatner. Leonard Nimoy made an appearance in a preposterous plot device.

They've been riding this pony for 40 years now...I guess it'll just go on forever.
