If you're a fan of the original Trek show and movies, go into this one blind. Don't read up on it. Avoid spoilers at all costs.
Depending on your devotion to the original material, you may come out of this deeply troubled, or deeply amused at the amount of fun you just had. This is an action-packed ride that sort of plays as a reboot to a significant original Trek story without actually re-creating it, while lifting specific dialogue from it, often in ways that turn the original story upside-down in laugh-out-loud ways. Like J.J. Abrams first Trek movie, I loved this.
I bet the Star Wars faithful who see this will be absolutely horrified.
